Current market signals are not optimistic. The reason for being bearish is simple—rebounds are often bait.

On the surface, the upward trend seems to return, but in reality, traps are hidden. When retail investors chase the high, big funds have already planned their escape. This rebound, smart money may not fully exit; instead, they might continue to harvest latecomers at high levels.

So the key point is: even if you see signs of an increase, you should not rush to enter. A rebound ≠ trend reversal. The true bottom confirmation requires time and volume validation; rushing to chase the high will only make you the bagholder. The harsh reality of the market is here—seeing the right direction but entering at the wrong time results in the same being trapped.

Coming again with the trap? Same old story, every rebound is said to confirm the bottom, but isn't it just another chance to cut the leeks. --- That's right, but most people simply can't wait; the desire to chase highs outweighs rationality. --- After all these years of "don't catch the bag," I'm still the one caught. --- The smart money left long ago. Now they're talking about timing verification, but by then, they've already been washed out. --- Although this is true, who can precisely catch the right moment? Anyway, I've entered again. --- I've believed in the bait of rebounds countless times, and now I'm numb to it. --- Instead of analyzing so much, it's better to admit you're here to gamble. --- Entering at the right direction but wrong timing—that's my usual move. --- The market really only cares about timing; fundamentals are all nonsense.

Coming back with this again? Every rebound is called a bait. I've seen through it all. The term "bagholder" has worn my ears out, but the words may be rough, the truth is not wrong—it's just cowardice.

They're trying to trap again; I've heard this explanation a hundred times already.
