After keeping a close watch over the past seven days, I’ve noticed something rather frustrating—BTC and $ETH, these major coins, have completely become shadows of the US stock market. Their own rhythm? Doesn’t exist.



The most troublesome thing about this passive tracking is that whenever US stocks pull back, the crypto market immediately bleeds along with them, but when stocks rise, crypto doesn’t necessarily keep up. So, should you be buying the dip now? My answer is: don’t rush.

What should you really wait for as an entry signal? Wait until major coins show signs of “falling with the market but not rising with it”—that’s when it means the market is starting to develop its own pricing logic. But here’s the question: by then, how much cash ammo will you have left in your account? Thinking this through in advance is more useful than staring at candlestick charts every day.
BTC-0.39%
ETH0.12%

I've looked at on-chain data for seven days, and the correlation coefficient between BTC and ETH is ridiculously high. But you know what? This is actually the perfect time to set up a multisig wallet—while the market hasn't decoupled yet, hurry up and upgrade your cold wallet's private key management solution. Don't wait until a real decoupling happens and regret not having any cash on hand. --- The longer I wait for this "follows the drop but not the rise" signal, the more I feel the need to diversify asset allocation and bridge across different chains. If I'm just letting assets sit idle anyway, I might as well assess the risk factors in advance. --- To be honest, bottom-fishing right now is basically gambling on the direction of US stocks. I'd rather spend more time organizing token storage solutions in my wallet—at least I can control the security of my private keys myself. --- Wait until signs of decoupling appear before taking action? The problem is, by then, who even remembers their own wallet address? I've long gotten into the habit of writing down my portfolio numbers. --- Instead of stressing over when to buy the dip, it's better to run a contract audit first and see if the tokens you hold have any potential vulnerabilities. That's way more reliable than just staring at candlesticks.

Following the dip but not the rise makes this signal feel a bit shaky. I'm afraid we might get trapped before any decoupling actually happens.

Forget it, let's not do anything for now. Let's wait for a decoupling signal.

Absolutely right. I’ve noticed the same thing these days—the crypto market has really become a tool for the US stock market. It crashes along with it, but gets left behind when it goes up. Who would want to trade in this kind of market?

Don't rush—I agree with that. But waiting for a decoupling signal? You might be waiting forever.

That really hits home. I've also been getting tossed around by the US stock market these past few days, with absolutely no conviction of my own. This signal of following the drops but not the rises is so spot on. The real worry is that by then, I'll already be out of ammo, and now I honestly don't know whether I should sell or just hold.
