"Can I still go long?" ETH surged to 3380 and then dropped back down, causing an instant uproar in the trading group—some people shouting to short, others buying the dip, and some just watching the K-line in a daze. Retail traders watching the MACD death cross think to themselves that this time it's safe, not realizing that in the eyes of the big players, this might just be a bull flag consolidation, ready to continue the rally with a different momentum. The most uncomfortable moments are when opportunity is right in front of you: you hesitate to act for fear of being left behind, but if you act, you're afraid of missing out.

Ultimately, this kind of dilemma reflects a deeper issue: are we too obsessed with "betting on the next move," and in doing so, missing the chance for our assets to "grow money" on their own? Short-term fluctuations are always a game of emotions, but there is a different asset strategy—it doesn't care whether you guess the market direction correctly or not. The key is that no matter how the market moves, your money is automatically "snowballing" at the underlying level.

Imagine instead of sitting around waiting for the perfect pullback, you could use DeFi protocols to stake assets like BNB for liquidity, converting them into slisBNB. Your principal immediately enters a "working state," continuously earning staking rewards 24/7—like installing an endless "value-increasing engine" on your money. You can still hold BNB for its market upside while earning additional income from staking, effectively placing a bet on price appreciation while also creating a cash flow safety net for yourself.

This is the true wealth management approach: not desperately trying to time the market, but making your assets work for you every second you hold them.
