When market sentiment gets too extreme, flipping conventional wisdom can actually work. But what's our game plan if we want to bet against the crowd in a structured way? Are there solid hedging strategies or contrarian indicators we can actually rely on? Or do we just need to stay disciplined and ignore the noise?

Discipline and all that are just empty talk; the key is whether we can survive until the next bull market.

Reverse trading is easy to say but hard to do. I myself tend to go all-in when I’m bearish, and FOMO is the real pain.

Basically, it depends on whether your mental toughness is strong or not. As for me, I'm pretty bad at it.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice; those who can truly make money are the ones who can resist looking at the K-line. Counter-trend trading sounds sexy but is prone to failure. I still trust psychological cycles more than fancy indicators. Honestly, when the market is overly pessimistic, it's often the best time to take action, but you need to have enough ammunition and mental resilience. Hedging strategies? No matter how smart the algorithm is, it can't compete with a macro event like a sudden surge in BTC. Sometimes, intuition is still the best guide.

Discipline > Strategy, to be honest, this thing is just psychological warfare
