When the market is caught in multiple possibilities and the outlook is uncertain, disagreements arise. This stage is often the most dangerous—no matter which direction you bet on, the chances of winning are slim, and blindly entering the market is likely to result in losses.

So what is the truly smart approach? Absolutely refrain from participating. Take a break. Don't underestimate this "break"; it is an art in itself. Not losing money essentially means you have earned it.

When is the right time to make a move? Only when the market becomes clear—when only one mainstream possibility remains, or when the probability of a certain direction is overwhelmingly dominant—then it is a signal to enter decisively. This is the true wisdom of trading.

It sounds good, but to be honest, most people simply can't lie flat. Waiting this long, my mentality has already collapsed, and I haven't even caught up yet. Knowing is easy, doing is hard, I've gone crazy waiting. This logic has no problem, but the question is who can resist not watching the market. Rest? I feel like I'm missing out on opportunities. What you're saying is right, but it's just FOMO taking over. If I were truly this rational, I would have been financially free long ago. Doing nothing is the most comfortable, but the money can't move either.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but can anyone really resist moving? I definitely can't resist. Waiting for signals sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do in practice. I always feel like I'm missing something. Not losing is the same as making a profit. I need to engrain this in my mind. This round of the market is indeed chaotic. Maybe it's best to just lie low for now. Alright, I admit, I'm that person who can't help but move around randomly. It's really an art of HODL and waiting. Easy to understand but hard to do. Resting is also a skill; ordinary people like us really can't master it.

No problem with that, that's exactly what I did. I took a hit last year and now I'm lying low and observing. I'll act once I see things clearly. Waiting isn't really waiting; it's about having patience. Most people can't do that. I'm still watching this round; I haven't decided yet.

That's right, I recently realized this after losing a bit because I couldn't resist messing around in the volatile market. Lying flat is really a skill, not cowardice. Waiting for signals and certainty is a hundred times smarter than blindly going all in. You'll know the moment the market becomes clear, there's no need to worry. I'm just waiting now, holding onto my money makes me feel more secure. This wave of volatility has wiped out so many people, all caused by greed. Sticking to your position is also quite difficult, watching K-line charts every day wondering what to do, but just not daring to move, that feeling is incredible. When will it become clear? Feels like it will never be clear... The word "rest" is so wonderful; actually, just being alive is winning.

That's true, but the key is that most people simply can't wait for that moment. Resting is actually the hardest move; watching others make money makes your heart bleed. This is the real test of human nature.
