Last night while scrolling through messages, I saw someone in the group wildly shouting "buy the dip opportunity is here," along with a bunch of screenshots of alts that have fallen 50%. To be honest, this scene is too familiar—every time there is a big dump, there are always people who think they found a treasure, but the result is often that they end up catching the heaviest knife.

**Do you think it's the bottom? It might just be halfway up the mountain.**

Looking at the current trend, the bear market sentiment is clearly becoming stronger. Those coins that surged recently have already seen large funds gradually cashing out at high positions. The current trading volume on the market is mostly retail investors trading against each other; when the K-line stabilizes slightly, they think it has bottomed out, but the next day, there’s a big dump that breaks through support directly. What operators are best at is making you feel like "it can't fall any further," and then catching you off guard.

**In this bull market, alts haven't kept up with the pace at all**

Think calmly, apart from BTC and a few old coins that have reached new highs, most alts haven't even touched the highs of the previous round. There is only so much money in the market, with thousands of coins competing for a share, who will get a turn? Those bloggers who shout "the next hundred times coin" every day might just be waiting for you to enter the market so they can reduce their positions.

**I've seen this script too many times**

In 2018, I went all in on public chains, and in 2021, I gambled on animal coins. How much is left in the account now? The fairest place in the market is this: the more you want to turn things around quickly, the more it makes you lose completely. Those who truly survive the cold winter are often those who dare to stay in cash and control their own hands.

**My coping strategy?**

It's very simple: most of the funds are just sitting there, at most taking a small position in mainstream assets like BTC and ETH. Don't touch altcoins for now; wait for real signals to appear—like when the market is so quiet that no one is discussing it; that might be the opportunity. Don't rush, the bear market is long, and surviving is more important than anything else.
