【The biggest illusion of retail investors: when fear reaches its peak, should you buy the dip?】

Many newcomers think that when the Fear Index is only 18, it must mean: "Wow, everyone is that scared—so it’s basically time, right? Go for it!"

What happens next? You’re often trapped, stuck in losses.

Honestly, I totally understand this way of thinking—who doesn’t want to buy at the lowest point? But have you noticed that fear can sometimes last much longer than you expect. Market sentiment is like a person who hasn’t woken up yet. You tell it to get up, and it still wants to laze around for a bit.

BTC’s dominance is already 55.7%, which is pretty interesting. It suggests that market funds are highly concentrated, and most coins have already started to bleed. Over on the A-share market today, the themes are pretty mixed. Stocks like Goertek Electronics and Xingye Technology have shown some performance, but overall trading volume is still shrinking. Without volume, no story really lands.

Let me tell you something straight:

In this market, don’t rush to go ALL IN. Position sizing isn’t empty talk. If you hold ammunition, the market has a chance to smile at you. Diversification isn’t cowardice—it’s basic respect for your own money bag. Those news headlines about Goertek Electronics jumping 6%? Just look at it. Chasing in after that most likely means you’ll end up waiting on the sidelines.

Let me ask you one question: Have you filled your position right now? Are you trapped and unable to move, or are you keeping some ammunition and waiting for the opportunity?

A. Fully loaded early on—now I can only lie flat and play dead
B. Still have ammunition, but I don’t dare to act recklessly
C. Sitting on the sidelines, waiting for clearer signals
