At three in the morning, after drawing the last trend line, the conclusion is cold and clear: BTC weekly above 80,000 is just a dying struggle, this rebound will peak at 98,000, and then is very likely to continue to drop to the bottom. ETH is worse, once it breaks 3,000, it’s a free fall. This is not the eve of a bull market; it's just a somewhat decent technical rebound in a bear market—looks like the script from early 2022 is about to be replayed.

If it were two years ago, I should be so anxious that I can't sleep, torn between cutting losses or adding positions. But now, I simply calmly close the trading software, open my wallet, and exchange the last bit of spare money into USDD, depositing it into the @usddio ecosystem's interest-bearing protocol. Watching the steadily growing interest, I suddenly feel that in such an uncertain market, having a certain return is itself a luxury.

I am very familiar with this market state: it seems to have stopped falling, with many lower shadows, and the MACD has also golden crossed, everything looks like it’s about to reverse. But historical lessons repeatedly tell us that in a downtrend, all signals that look like a “bottom” are often just a halftime break. When most people are guessing whether 84,400 can hold or whether 94,000 can break through, the real smart money is doing one thing: seeking a safe haven to preserve strength.

For me, this safe haven is USDD. In the system built by @usddio, I don’t need to predict whether BTC will fall to 70,000 or worry about whether ETH will drop below 2,775. The value of USDD is guaranteed by over-collateralized assets on the chain, real-time transparent, and not affected by any market emotions. While the entire market is nervously watching for a few percentage points of rise and fall, my USDD position is quietly generating returns, like having your own power station in a storm.

Someone asked me: Isn’t this missing the rebound opportunity? My answer is: “When you need to rely on this level of rebound to make money, it indicates that the real opportunity in the market has not yet arrived.” Real opportunities are never found on the knife-edge of such a bull-bear game, but in the major trends that follow a clear direction. What I need to do is ensure that when the big trend comes, I still have enough capital that hasn’t been consumed in the fluctuations.

So now, my strategy is simple enough to make people laugh: convert most of my assets to USDD to earn interest, and keep a small portion of funds in the market to maintain my feel. I no longer stay up late watching the market and am no longer anxious about every fluctuation. Because I know, no matter how the market moves, I am accumulating energy for the next cycle in the safest way.

If you are also confused about the direction of the market, perhaps you can change your mindset: give up on predictions and focus on defense first. Sometimes, surviving in the market longer is much more important than making a lot of money in one instance.

#USDD sees stability as trust — while everyone is staring at the K-line guessing tomorrow’s rise and fall, the real winners have already built a wealth fortress that can generate stable returns regardless of bull or bear markets. Market fluctuations will pass, but your asset growth can continue indefinitely.
