#Strategy加仓BTC A friend of mine continued to build positions during the pullback, and this decision now seems quite interesting.

In this market rally, some people who are bearish are behaving quite amusingly. Those who shorted $ETH at around 3200, watching Ethereum rise to about 3400, almost getting liquidated, comforting themselves that it's no big deal. As a result, after a slight correction and a few days of consolidation, they immediately start cheering and saying the opportunity has arrived. Their mindset is like a roller coaster.

I still remember when Bitcoin was at 87,000, many people were mocking the bullish friends, saying their strategies would fail and the market was doomed. The bullish people were ridiculed at that time. Now that $BTC has surged to 95,000, those voices have completely disappeared.

The trading market is like this. Retail traders wanting to manipulate the game is simply unrealistic. Instead of struggling against the market, it's better to learn to follow the market's rhythm. Maintaining enough respect for the market might be the key to surviving long-term.

BTC-1,09%

ETH-0,66%

Friends who continue to add positions during the pullback are indeed quite bold. Looking at it now, they definitely made a profit. The bearish people's mentality is really a roller coaster—hesitant when it rises, excited when it falls. Such operations will inevitably lead to a blowup sooner or later. The wave of mocking the bulls at 87,000 probably all deleted their comments by now, haha. Retail investors going against the market, and the result is only one.

This mindset can really break someone’s composure. Now, the ones crying are the very people who mocked back then.

The dip continues to add positions, and this wave is really intense. Now it feels great to watch. The group of people cheering on the brink of liquidation are truly incredible; their mentality is definitely a roller coaster. The 87,000 that was mocked is now all silent, haha. The market is just so healing.

From a technical perspective, the essence of this wave of market行情 actually reflects the psychological cycle issues of market participants. According to behavioral finance research, retail investors' decisions are often excessively influenced by short-term fluctuations. It is worth noting that your friend's strategy of adding positions during the pullback, based on historical win rates shown by data, indeed aligns with the core logic of contrarian thinking. Meanwhile, those players who shorted ETH at 3200 have essentially fallen into a classic anchoring bias trap. In summary, the market will never change direction because of retail investors' emotions. Instead of trying to predict, it's better to verify hypotheses through actions like your friend did. That is true trading wisdom.

Really, this is the common problem among retail investors—emotional swings are as exciting as candlestick charts. Why bother being so exhausted about being bearish? Yelling at the market until your throat is sore won't change the direction. Friends who add positions during a pullback are probably very happy now, while those with short positions at 87,000... never mind, I won't say more. The market isn't just black or white; following the rhythm is the key to success.

Friends who are building positions during the pullback are now enjoying it. The group that was bearish should have shut up long ago. The bearish traders' mentality is truly dragging things down. They mocked at 87k and now that it’s at 95k, they have no voice. What can you do by going against the market? Just admit defeat if you need to.
