As soon as the market turns slightly red, panic spreads across the entire market in an instant.

Bearish rhetoric, crash warnings, death cross signals, panic selling with high volume... all kinds of pessimistic emotions spread like a virus everywhere. The despair on the other side of the screen is almost overflowing.

To be honest, this round of the market is truly torturous.

Why?
Because this time, the market makers are not some random players—they're Wall Street institutions with a century of game-playing experience. Their understanding of technical patterns, human weaknesses, liquidity control, and emotional manipulation has reached a level that's simply overwhelming.

Big fish eat little fish. Little fish eat shrimp.

All kinds of tricks keep appearing: fake technical breakdowns, bull traps followed by reversals, shakeout-style violent sell-offs... If you don't have your own trading system and discipline, you're probably already doubting your life by now.

Among the friends who follow my trades, more than one has made a single profit of 140,000 USDT. But the more this happens, the more I understand one thing—

Destruction brings rebirth.

Only when the majority are beaten down to self-doubt, washed out to utter despair, and too scared to get back in, will the market truly reverse. That stunning main uptrend that shocks everyone is often hidden right after the most desperate moment.

The current trend? In essence, it's still the shakeout phase.

The goal is clear: to flush out weak hands and clear out those who lack conviction.

When the chips are light enough, market sentiment is cold enough, and panic has spread to the extreme—that’s when the real rally will take off.

Every dip now is building momentum for the next major cycle.

Patience is often more important than skill.
