In a volatile market, human nature is fully revealed.

As the price falls, the bearish sentiment becomes overwhelming. The candlestick patterns are being over-interpreted, and a sense of despair pervades the community, as if a rebound has become a luxury.

This scenario is a common discussion, but the level of suffering among participants this time is indeed different. It's not that the volatility is more fierce, but that the opposing side is becoming increasingly sophisticated—capital manipulation is no longer barbaric, but has shifted to repeated experimentation based on human flaws. False breakouts entice the bulls, rapid drops trigger stop losses, and key support levels are pulled back and forth; the goal is very clear: to destroy confidence and make you doubt yourself.

People without a stable trading framework are likely to lose patience during the turmoil.

This is the real watershed.

The gap that can be opened during a chaotic period often exceeds imagination. Some are swallowed by emotions, buying high and selling low; others remain calm, reducing frequency and sticking to their plans. On the surface, the market is still testing, but in reality, the chips are being silently replaced.

The market needs a new story, but first it must go through a bottom wash. Prices repeatedly test the bottom, confidence collapses, and most people choose to wait and see. When impatience fades and emotions cool down, the market can regain its vitality. The current turmoil is essentially a cleansing before building momentum—shaking off weak hands to create space for a rebound.

Real opportunities never arise when emotions are running high. On the contrary, they hide in moments when most people do not want to discuss the market, and it feels cold and quiet.

Whether you can endure until that moment tests your trading rhythm. Market fluctuations are external factors; maintaining a stable mindset and executing your plan are fundamental to surviving in the market. Whether it's $ETH or the overall market, as long as the logic is consistent, there shouldn't be a problem.

Faith remains unwavering, time will provide the answer.
