Have you recently felt that the market is especially torturous? It won't rise, it won't fall, just oscillating back and forth. Buying gets crushed, selling causes it to rise—this precise "sniping" feeling really drives people's mentality to the brink.

But what I want to say is that many people lose a lot of money during this kind of fluctuation, and the core reason is not the market itself, but the frequent operations after a mental breakdown. I've seen too many traders stare at the 4-hour chart all day, trading back and forth, and in the end, they lose more and more, and their principal is gone. So the most important rule during oscillation is actually very simple: control your hands, fewer operations mean more wins.

Now, let's get to the main point—what exactly is this wave of market? My judgment is very straightforward: this is a correction in the middle of a bull market, not the beginning of a bear market. Breaking down some details: the main decline phase on the weekly level has already been completed, and the lows are gradually rising, which is a typical sign of a strong correction; the daily chart remains sideways without breaking key levels, indicating that the bulls still hold the situation; those short-term oscillations are actually the main force shaking out the weak-handed retail investors, paving the way for the upcoming rally.

Some may ask, how can I be so sure? Just look at a set of data. This round of oscillation has been going on for over a month since the lows, and each retracement has been getting smaller, indicating that the downward momentum is gradually weakening; looking at the upward movement, although the volume isn't particularly large, each time it can return above the middle line of the sideways range, showing that the bulls are secretly exerting force. From historical patterns, sideways oscillations in the middle of a bull market usually follow this rhythm.
