Stop staring all day at those flashy things on the Candlestick, like technical patterns, news, and market sentiment—it's all just surface-level stuff.
It's clear when you do the math: during the peak of the previous few cycles, the capital volume reached 800 billion and 3 trillion USD respectively. This round has been going on for nearly 4 years, and the market size is still stagnant. What does this indicate? Very simply - there is no new capital coming in at all. Without a bubble, there is no cycle peak; a bull market is essentially the process of inflating a bubble and then bursting it. Now, there isn't even a shadow of a bubble. Is the market really reversing back to where it was four years ago?
Think again, what would happen if we really entered a bear market? Hard currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum can withstand it, but many altcoin projects would perish, and ninety percent of people in the entire industry would be unemployed. The current volatile trends are exactly the same as the performances at the end of previous bull markets— the final torment before the surge.
Understand the direction, hold the bottom position steady, and maintain patience; all three are essential. Want to enjoy the main upward trend? First, weigh whether you are qualified enough.
Retail investors ponder "Why isn't it rising today?" while the institutions are figuring out "How to shake you out of the market."
There is an old saying in the crypto world that sums it up well - a bull market is never created by genuine growth, it is deceived into existence. When the sudden surge happens one day, you will look back and realize: "Damn, so that's how it's played."
Don't panic. The harder the pressure, the stronger the rebound. If positive news comes out and the price doesn't rise? That is the last chance to accumulate before the explosion. The abyss is always there, and this is the only light — whether to follow or not, it's your choice.

Ouch, that really hit home. These past four years, I've just been stuck in a cycle of getting shaken out.
Seriously, the part about no new funds coming in really struck a chord with me. No wonder I always felt something was off.
Gotta hold onto my core positions, but that pile of altcoins in my hand is probably done for.
Just wait, after all, there's only this one lamp. Whether to follow or not, it's up to your own choice.

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that people in this space are too easily taken advantage of, watching candlestick charts all day like they're checking the weather forecast.
---
No new growth in 4 years? Then we're really in an awkward spot—feels like we're just treading water.
---
I just want to ask, when the real bear market comes, how many altcoins will survive? Feels like most projects should've died a long time ago.
---
What you said about having a base position makes sense, but most people’s base positions are so deep in the red that they’ll never see that day come.
---
Oh my god, finally someone called it out. The bull market really is a scam—I saw through it ages ago.
---
After all the back and forth, it still depends on what the whales want to do. Retail investors really are just destined to get shaken out, nothing we can do.
---
Not rising on good news means they're accumulating? Alright, I'll believe it for now—not like I can get out anyway.
---
Let me put it this way, 90% of altcoins won't even make it to the next bull market. It's time we faced that reality.
---
The harder the price is suppressed, the stronger the rebound—I've heard this a hundred times, but when the real rebound comes, there are always people still stuck at the bottom.

Well... to put it bluntly, it means there's no money to enter the market, this round really doesn't have that flavor.
---
The market makers are grinding, retail investors are dawdling, a typical Bear Market torment.
---
Wait, according to this logic, there isn't even a shadow of a bubble, what can we still expect?
---
It's not wrong to hold your bottom position, but how many can really do it?
---
A bull run that was deceived out... sounds a bit heart-wrenching, good heavens.
---
The pressure is heavy and the rebound is fierce, is this just a comforting word or is there really something to it?
---
The light at the bottom of the abyss, I've chosen it, let's see how it plays out later.

I never thought about the fact that there is no bubble; wait, this logic is a bit extreme.

Wait a minute, I need to check the on-chain data... The whale addresses from the 30 trillion round are now eerily quiet, the transfer frequency has directly slumped by 50%, something is not right.

You're right, it's just that missing breath.

You're not wrong, the volume of funds is there, this round really lacks that momentum.
---
Alright, I believe you, anyway I can't understand Candlestick, just lying here waiting for a big pump.
---
Wait, you mean it's not the peak yet? Then I have to hold my position.
---
This logic is a bit convoluted, but it sounds impressive, I'll save it for now.
---
Translated, it means: Don't rush, the market maker is still sharpening the knife.
---
The part about 90% unemployment is indeed scary, luckily I only play with Mainstream Token.
---
If that's the case, we all have to wait a bit longer, this wave is still early.
---
"A bull run that was tricked out," I love hearing that, very honest.
---
Only when it's pressed hard does it rebound fiercely, and this position is just too attractive.
