Playing the market, the biggest test is whether you can stay calm at the bottom phase. Open the intraday chart or daily K-line to check, once confirmed to be in the bottom zone, patience becomes the most scarce quality—because large institutional funds are still aggressively building positions at this time and won't rush to push prices up.

Those coins that hit daily limit-ups every day? Basically, they are projects that institutions have already laid out long ago and are only now starting to move. For this kind of market, we can only observe or engage in short-term trading.

The true bottom operation logic is simple: don't expect to open champagne every day. Instead, you should anticipate more pullbacks, so you can seize the opportunity to accumulate more chips. With the right mindset, the bottom is the best time to strike gold. The more it falls, the more opportunities there are.

That's right, the hardest part at the bottom is to hold back and not move, watching others hit the daily limit without getting anxious. Institutions are still quietly building positions, so we need to stay calm. The more it drops, the more of an opportunity it is. The more aggressively we pick up chips, the more we can earn later.

That's right, but I actually think most people can't do this at all. They get itchy just watching the K-line every day and want to act. By the time institutions build positions, we've already cut losses, and then we watch them take off helplessly. The bottom is indeed an opportunity, but the question is who can confirm whether it's truly the bottom. If it drops a lot, we can eat the chips, but the prerequisite is having bullets. Most people have already gone all-in. It sounds reasonable, but in practice, mindset is much more difficult than technical skills.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people simply can't sit still; they want to cut when they see it falling. Institutions haven't had enough yet, retail investors have already run away, which is truly funny. The bottom tests your mentality the most; only those who can hold on without moving are the winners. The more violently it falls, the more excited I get, because I can add to my position. People who always want to hit the daily limit up will never become true players.

You're absolutely right, it's all about enduring. I'm literally sitting at the bottom right now, staring at K-line charts every day until my eyes blur, but I just can't bring myself to make a move. Those coins that are hitting daily limits every day look so tempting, but I really can't chase them. The risk is too high. The hardest part is actually the mindset, man. When prices are falling, I want to buy the dip but I'm scared it'll keep dropping. You really need patience for this. I've added to my position during this pullback. Now I'm just waiting for the day the institutions pump it. The bottom is the most testing period, but it's also where the biggest profits are made. Let's just wait it out slowly. Bottom line: the people who can sit at the bottom without making moves are the real winners.

That's exactly right, that's the principle. Most people lose because they can't stay calm; they panic at every dip. Why rush during institutional accumulation? Just relax and wait. Those who hit daily limit-ups have already missed out. This wave of correction actually gives us a chance to buy in. Don't think about making profits every day. The bottom is the best opportunity; the harder the fall, the more stable your mindset should be.

It sounds good, but how many can really hold on? I just watch the people around me cut their losses one by one at the bottom. Institutions are building positions while we are selling off, this is the reality. Wait, those who hit daily limit-ups, have they already been dumped? Are we reacting too late? I've heard the phrase "buy more the deeper it falls" for three years, and my wallet is almost empty. Having the right mindset doesn't necessarily bring money. Why does this logic hit so hard? Honestly, it's either you have money or you have patience. What should I do if I have neither?

That's true, but how many can really hold on? I'm already numb from it. Every day shouting about the bottom, yet it keeps crashing further. Many people's mental states are collapsing.

说得没错，但真正能在底部不动如山的没几个，我反正是手痒到不行都想抄底，结果一跳水直接破心态，何必呢机构建仓确实快，咱们散户只能跟风吃残羹冷炙，就这样底部确实是机会，但你得先活着熬过来才行啊

Speaking casually, how many people truly endure to the bottom? I am one of those who watch the daily K-line confirm the bottom area, then stubbornly wait until I become a trapped investor... I couldn't resist jumping in before the MACD even had a golden cross.

Basically, it's about who can endure. Institutions are still accumulating chips, and you're rushing to chase the rise—that's the fate of a rookie investor.
