What is the market like now? Chaotic, noisy, full of uncertainty. Many people are starting to doubt in this environment—whether they should wait and see before entering the market again.



But if you've gone through several complete cycles, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon—true profit opportunities never appear when consensus is formed and everyone is optimistic. On the contrary, they hide in the stages of deepest disagreement and most wounded confidence.

**Why is this the case?** Because forming a bottom itself requires time to clear out weak hands and wear down investor psychology. Historical data shows that those markets which later doubled or even tenfold often experienced prolonged sideways movements and repeated volatility before the breakout, followed by a large-scale loss of confidence. By the time the momentum truly kicks in, a silent group of investors has already entered.

Currently, the Bitcoin and Ethereum markets exhibit these characteristics. On the surface, it may seem like there are no opportunities, but in reality, it’s precisely the process of building a bottom. The key is whether you can make a judgment at this moment—not based on blind optimism, but on rational choices grounded in cyclical patterns.

Many ask, “Can I still buy now?” But the real question is actually reversed. The true question is: **When the next trend fully unfolds, have you already completed your positioning?**

What will 2026 look like? From a cyclical perspective, it’s very likely a turning point. But regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain—those who dare to hold steady amid uncertainty often reap the most substantial rewards. This is not just motivational talk; it’s a pattern repeatedly validated by the crypto market.

You're promoting bottom-fishing again. It sounds good when you say it, but who dares to buy if it really drops? --- Hmm… I feel you're right, but I'm still watching. I always think it can go even lower. --- I've heard this theory too many times. The problem is, those who make money won't say anything; only the losers are the ones talking every day. --- 2026? Bro, I can't even understand this year yet. --- Can't accumulate. Really… my salary isn't enough to buy groceries, so what's there to talk about layout? --- It's really just a gamble on mentality. Whoever has a good mentality wins, but how many can really hold up? --- Wow, you're selling anxiety again. Early adopters have already jumped in. What's the point of saying this now? --- There's some truth to it, but the premise is that you have to live until that time. No one can bear the market risk. --- People say this every round, and every round ends the same. Let's wait and see. --- I only know that buying now means losing money. I have no other thoughts.

Basically, it's just waiting for confidence to completely collapse before quietly buying the dip. It's not wrong to say that, but who won't get slapped in the face a few times when executing it?

That's right, it's all about whether you can endure this psychological battle. This wave is indeed the same as the previous rhythm; the less optimistic people are, the greater the opportunity. My prediction is that it will explode in 2026, and now is the perfect time to position oneself.

That's right, the bottom is when the noise is the loudest; the more noise, the more you should get in. --- History always repeats itself. Those who understand cycles have already been quietly accumulating. --- The question is reversed, and this sentence hits the mark. Many people lack this understanding. --- People who are afraid to act will end up regretting it. That's a rule. --- In 2026, it will depend on who can hold their mindset over the next two years. --- When it's truly profitable, no one makes a sound; when losing money, everyone has something to say. --- The difficulty lies in this "judgment"; knowing is easy, acting is hard. --- The process of building a bottom is also a process of wealth transfer, very clear. --- I just want to ask how many people are really holding on right now. --- Forming a low point takes time to wash out the chips; this is an iron law. --- Daring to hold on in uncertainty is easy to say but hard to do, everyone. --- This logic applied in 2020 and 2021, and it's no different now. --- Those who have gone through several complete market cycles understand; beginners are still debating whether to buy.

Bankruptcy Countdown: Basically, it's about not being able to wait. When others are panicking, you're buying the dip—that's the difference.
