These days, the market has been quiet, and what I really want to do isn't to buy the dip, but to stop. Stop and refrain from adding leverage, take a moment to see if liquidity is still there, stop refreshing those "smart money" screenshots... Large on-chain transfers, hot and cold wallets on exchanges being moved are often interpreted as signals, but honestly, many times it's just others adjusting positions or consolidating, which has nothing to do with retail investors like me.

In the past, I used to push hard during these times, but as a result, my capital curve was directly taught to doubt everything. Now my principle is simple: survive first, then look for bargains. If I can try with a small position, I do; if not, I stay out, and even holding an empty position counts as a stance. That's the way it is for now.
