The market continues to rise, with Bitcoin surpassing $90,000, Ethereum remaining around $3,100, and Dogecoin continuing to lead the mainstream sectors. However, as some comments have pointed out, the recent market trend has been quite uncooperative; whenever I place an order, it drops. Although I feel it's unfair, short-term market movements are too unpredictable, which has somewhat shaken my confidence even when I am bullish.
Objectively speaking, over the past two months, I have been frequently reaffirming my belief. When Ethereum fell below $3,000, it indeed felt like it could drop to $2,000. But currently, there is a chance to form a consolidation around the $3,100 level, creating a bottom in the oscillation. Of course, the market's upward momentum still requires time, but if a new wave is to happen, the next 2-3 months are the most likely period.
Based on my recent experiences participating in offline meetings, the overall investor sentiment in the crypto space is very bleak; the industry atmosphere can even be described as desolate. During such times, opportunities are usually scarce, but it also indicates that project valuations have been lowered, making the risk-reward ratio quite attractive. As long as you believe in the cyclical nature of the industry, there's no need to fear downturns excessively; instead, you should embrace the future more.
Another feeling I have is the importance of building cash flow. Many people rushed in during the peak, switching industries or going all-in physically, but it becomes difficult to endure during the downturn. In fact, relating this to our specific investment strategies, being able to generate returns without relying entirely on market movements is very important; this is a prerequisite for overcoming cycles. Simply put, during downturns, what supports you to buy? During peaks, are you willing to sell?
