The crypto market is experiencing another round of deep turbulence. Bitcoin rapidly dropped from around 90K to the 86K-87K range, with a 24-hour decline of over 3%; Ethereum is similarly under pressure, fluctuating around $2900. The entire market is filled with a sense of panic, and many are beginning to cut losses.

But traders familiar with cycles understand: this kind of pullback is precisely the golden window for shakeouts + accumulation.

With BTC and ETH as the two dominant kings, and their fundamental ecosystems unchanged, institutional funds continue to flow in net. From a long-term perspective, the main upward trend of the bull market remains intact. Rather than being scared off by short-term volatility, it’s better to select and position at lows.

During market downturns, choosing projects with practical application scenarios and community support is crucial. Those concept coins that only tell stories often become harvesting tools for retail investors; in contrast, blockchain projects that focus on real-world implementation and genuine ecosystem needs can stand out in the next upward cycle.

Volatility is not scary; what’s scary is having no sense of direction. The correction period is a perfect time to review your investment portfolio — no need to change your long-term holdings of BTC and Ethereum, but you can consider increasing the weight of promising ecosystem projects at lows. Opportunities always favor those who are well-prepared.
