The sentiment shift is stark: traders who rode the 2025 bullish momentum are now positioning defensively for 2026. What changed? Market cycles always reverse. The optimism that peaked in early '25 has given way to caution as we look ahead. Whether it's macroeconomic headwinds or profit-taking pressure, the consensus has flipped from accumulation to distribution mode.

Laughing and losing this round, even the new traders can become joke kings If I had known making money was this hard, I might as well keep sleepwalking until next year

Here we go again with this set? I saw through it long ago; this wave is to shake out the weak.

Let me look at the data. This sentiment flip is not wrong, but the question is—is it really a cycle reversal or just a short-term adjustment? One clarification needed: distribution mode sounds very professional, but does the actual trading volume really support this conclusion?

Another cycle, can we buy the dip this time?

Here comes that cycle theory again, talking as if it's really true... If I had known earlier, I would have just invested everything now. What are you still waiting for?

It's just another round of pulling the wool over investors' eyes; I've seen through it long ago.
