2026 Start of the Year, the First Wave of Market Trends Brewing

Since entering the market in November, I truly believe that there is no such thing as a bear market in the crypto world. Three months of adjustment and six months of decline—I've seen too much of this over the years.

To be honest, most people get stuck at the patience threshold. Either they miss the golden opportunity to buy at the lows, or they gradually deplete their capital during sideways phases with no clear market direction. Missing the bottom once or twice can break your mindset, and the result is being forced to jump in.

New year, new opportunities. As long as you don't frequently cut losses or recklessly increase leverage, there will always be a return if you wait.

A bear market is really a false proposition; it all depends on whether you can hold on until that moment. What is patience? Simply put, it's not doing stupid things. Why did I happen to cut losses at the low point? Leverage immediately leads to explosion; the lesson is too profound. The waiting party will never lose; it all depends on whether you can hold it in. Another newbie is about to be shaken out and educated. The market at the beginning of the year was indeed promising, but don't go all-in, everyone.

Patience is truly a touchstone; almost everyone around me who has died here is not less than eighty or ninety. --- It's the same old story, but the key is to see the returns when you're still alive. --- Not frequently cutting losses sounds easy, but when it really hits your psychological price, you realize how difficult it is. --- Entering the market in November was indeed a good timing, but now I'm still waiting for the second wave of the market to come. --- I've heard many times that there is no such thing as a bear market, but in the end, some people didn't live to see the bull market. --- The most terrifying thing about a mental breakdown is starting to trade frequently; the more you trade, the more you lose. --- Starting the year in 2026? Let's just get through January's volatility first. --- Leverage is really meant to get you out quickly; don't touch it, really. --- The golden period for low-point positioning has truly been missed this time; now I can only wait for a rebound.

That's right, only those who endure the volatility can laugh last. Really, I've also fallen into the trap of stop-loss; now I'm just lying flat and waiting. Don't mess around with leverage; actually, you've already won half the battle. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy. I see many people get stuck in anxiety. Will 2026 take off? Feels like I'm waiting for a signal.

nah honestly, most people just lack the discipline to extract asymmetric returns. they panic-sell at inefficiency vectors instead of recognizing the protocol dynamics at play. patience isn't a virtue in crypto—it's literally your alpha edge.

Patience is really the biggest chip; that's how I got through it too. --- It's the same story of waiting for returns, but the key is that more people are going bankrupt. --- There is no such thing as a bear market, so where did the money from liquidations go? --- Being able to stay so calm about getting in on November is really valuable. --- I've been trying to buy at the low for three years now, why hasn't it been my turn yet? --- Saying "don't leverage recklessly" sounds so easy, but that's actually the hardest part. --- The new opportunities are real, but you have to survive until the New Year first.
