The legendary investor keeps sounding the alarm: patterns from past market crashes are showing up again. When you look at valuations, sentiment swings, and the way money flows in and out of assets, you spot something eerie—the tape really does repeat itself.

Think about it. Every major cycle follows a similar script: irrational exuberance, peak euphoria, then a violent reset. Asset prices disconnect from fundamentals. Retail piles in when everyone's already in. Then reality hits.

For traders and investors watching the broader market, the lesson is clear: don't ignore what happened before. The mechanisms that triggered past crashes—overleveraging, stretched valuations, crowded positioning—don't disappear. They just wear different costumes.

Whether you're trading stocks or exploring crypto markets, recognizing these patterns can save you from repeating history. The question isn't if cycles repeat. It's whether you'll recognize the warning signs when they do.

History always repeats itself, but most people only repeat the same mistakes..

That's right, retail investors should have just run when they were the last to take the bait.

Haha, here we go again. This set of rhetoric sounds clever every time, but no one listens. --- It sounds nice, but in reality, we're still getting cut. --- Instead of studying history, it's better to see what the main players are doing. --- Wait, isn't this what those people in 2021 were saying? And what happened? --- Alright, since I've already lost my money, why bother listening to these words? --- The pattern always exists; it's just a matter of execution. --- Constantly warning, but when the market really crashes, you still haven't escaped. --- It looks convincing, but would you think this way when you're bottom-fishing? --- I only trust my candlestick charts and my loss records. --- How great it would be if these words were said ten years ago.

Bro, you're just repeating the same old tune again, talking about historical cycles, pattern recognition... but how many can really avoid it? --- Eh, what's the use of talking about these? The key is who can truly resist chasing highs. I haven't managed to do that anyway. --- No matter how good the hype, it's all hindsight. When the real black swan arrives, no one can save you. --- I'm too familiar with the overleveraging routine; I can't forget the bloody lessons every time... but next time, I'll still fall for it. --- Bear markets are always explained convincingly, but when the bull market comes, we instantly turn into chives—that's us. --- Watching this, I start to get itchy again, want to place a bet. This is the real cycle. --- So the key is discipline, not relying on recognizing some damn pattern. --- Here we go again. I bet five bucks that the comment section will still surge.

Here we go again, a three-year cycle. It sounds nice, but when it comes to the critical moment, it still depends on luck. --- I've heard the cycle theory a hundred times. The problem is everyone knows it, but no one can avoid it. --- Stop with these illusions. The key is whether you have bullets in your hand at that moment. --- Honestly, I only believe one thing: losing money is called risk education; making money is called investment wisdom. --- Every crash has warnings, but no one listens, including myself haha. --- No matter how fancy your clothes are, they are still the same at the core. Is this time really different? I question that. --- Let's see the real results within three years. Right now, all talk is meaningless. --- Even if you see through it, you might not be able to escape. That's the most heartbreaking part.

Damn, here we go again? Every time I say I'll learn my lesson, but the next round I'm still getting cut.

To be honest, I've heard this explanation too many times. Every time they say it's going to crash hard, but what happens... the coins are still rising.

Medical records indicate that it's time for your regular check-up. The parameters of liquidity indicators... are now textbook-level manifestations of complications. --- History tends to repeat itself, but the problem is that most people can't understand the repeated signals. Overleveraging, inflated valuations, crowded positions... these have been happening year after year, just with a different appearance. --- Clinical signs are all here, with obvious symptoms of capital outflow. What are you waiting for? --- The cycle theory is fine, but the key is whether you can detect it before it actually occurs. That is the core of risk warning. --- Every time, people say "this time is different," but the mechanism remains the same. It is recommended to regularly review your position structure.
