Most traders didn't anticipate the recent sharp pullback. What looked like a bullish setup turned into the opposite narrative—the charts flipped dramatically. Those who went long early likely faced liquidations, while shorters who read the reversal correctly captured solid risk-reward setups. The lesson here: when the picture inverts this quickly, you need to adapt your thesis fast rather than averaging down on a losing position. Clean entries with favorable R:R ratios often come right after these violent reversals.

It's the same old story. I already said not to hold on stubbornly; instead, turn around and seize fortune. How many people are still averaging down? It's hilarious.

It's the same old story. I knew a reversal was coming the moment the long position was blown out. --- The average cost strategy is really brilliant; it’s like burying yourself alive. --- Charts flip faster than pages in a book. If you can't keep up, you're out. --- Short-term counter-moves can be profitable but tricky, but opportunities like this are rare. --- Re-enter after clearing your position; don’t get entangled with the loss point. Easier said than done. --- Every time there's a sharp drop, some people get washed out. Those who need to know already know. --- Adding to positions against the trend is a leek strategy; it needs to be changed. --- Risk-reward ratio is the right way; I believe in that.

It's another reversal market; the bulls have been shaken out again. The problem is that the reaction is too slow; you can't tell when the chart will turn around, and that's why you're losing money.

Another reversal like this... This morning, there was still full hope for a bullish trend, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a slaughterhouse. Truly unbelievable.
