Don't Panic! This Discount Season Is Not the Start of a New Winter

When the crypto market suddenly turned red across the board, many new investors immediately felt fear: “Is it that we are about to enter bear season?” “Should I cut my losses overnight for safety?” The truth is: this correction is not a signal of collapse at all, but rather resembles the market “sneezing” after a period of tension. To understand correctly, we must first look at the two root causes that led to the recent decline.

1. Global Liquidity is Temporarily Being Withdrawn The financial market – from stocks, bonds to crypto – operates based on cash flow. When money flows in strongly, prices rise; when money is withdrawn, prices fall. Recently, the North American region has implemented a series of fiscal tightening measures: Cut spending, Increase the scale of bond issuance by hundreds of billions of USD. Both of these moves create a “water-sucking” effect on the market. Simply put: the amount of liquidity is being withdrawn, like a balloon that is slowly deflating. Crypto is not declining because the assets are worsening, but because “fewer people have money to buy.”
2. Expectations of Easing are Doused, Market Sentiment Hits the Brakes For many months, the market has been continuously waiting for signs of year-end easing. However, the latest message is that “the policy cannot be adjusted immediately.” This causes a large part of the investors – those who are waiting for a loosening to unwind their positions – to lose confidence in the short term and choose to sell. Crypto inherently has a strong emotional contagion; just a sufficiently large sell-off will trigger a cascading effect: Sell → price decreasesPrice decreases → fear increasesFear increases → continue selling But precisely because this drop is largely based on emotions, it often comes quickly and leaves just as quickly. This Is Not a Signal to Open the Curtain for the Bear Market To form a long-term downtrend, the market needs to have: Prolonged liquidity weakness, Continuous negative policy impacts, Or fundamental risks of major projects. Currently, none of these factors are present. What is happening is just short-term volatility as the flow of funds and market expectations are “out of sync.” Once: Looser fiscal policy, or supportive signals are emerging, liquidity will immediately return. At that time, the assets that were excessively sold off will rebound strongly. The 3 Principles of Response During a Market Adjustment: For All Levels of Investors
3. Do Not Panic Sell Most investors lose money because they sell at the bottom. If the assets being held have a good foundation, sustainable cash flow, or a solid ecosystem, selling in a panic during a crowd's turmoil will only exacerbate the losses. The market always rewards those who act with emotion.
4. Buy Not in a Hurry, Only Disburse According to Each Rhythm Don't try to catch the bottom with a large order. The optimal strategy is to divide the position into smaller amounts at different price levels – this reduces the risk of entering at the wrong point and effectively lowers the average price. This is a way that helps many investors survive through all volatility cycles.
5. Policy Observation – Not Just Staring at the K-line The K-line only reflects short-term emotions. The long road of the market is shaped by: Monetary policy, Fiscal policy, Global capital flows. Those who focus on monitoring these factors will see trends ahead, rather than being shaken by each candle. Conclusion The crypto market always has big waves – sometimes calm, other times fierce. The most common mistake is to look at fluctuations over a few hours to conclude the entire long-term trend. Winners are not the ones who react the fastest, but those who understand the reasons behind market fluctuations and calmly act according to the plan. The current drop is just a technical shake-up - an opportunity to accumulate, not a signal to leave the battlefield.
