# Crypto Dip: Bargain Hunt or Bear Trap?

BTC fell by 20%, ETH fell by 40%. The recent market decline has left many people in a dilemma: Is now a good time to buy the dip, or should I run away?

**Logic of Bottom Fishing**: Historically, BTC's "buying the dip strategy" has never disappointed. In 2022, BTC fell from 69K to 16K, and those who dared to bottom fish have now made a fortune—BTC has now risen to 85K. With the Trump administration's recent pro-crypto policies (Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, regulatory friendliness), bulls firmly believe this is the "historical bottom."

**What the bears say**: Don't get cut. The U.S. has 36 trillion in debt + slowing economic growth + tariff pressure, a retreat from risk assets is underway. Money is running towards safe-haven assets like gold—this is called "risk aversion" sentiment. As for Trump's Bitcoin reserve plan? Just listen to it, there's no real purchase commitment, it's all just paper games.

**The Knowledge of Coin Selection**: Not all coins are worth copying. Cathie Wood bluntly stated that many meme coins are destined to go to zero, and DOGE should be avoided. Although ETH has long-term upward potential, it is still 60% lower than its historical high and has not recovered since the "crypto winter" of 2022 – the risks are too high.

Relatively reliable bottom-fishing targets: market cap ≥ 5 billion, annual decline < 25%, and still reaching historical highs. Currently, the only ones that meet the criteria are **BTC and SOL**, both of which have been hit by macro factors, but have great rebound potential.
