【Yesterday I lost the equivalent of three meals, so I've decided to stay put today】

To be honest, I haven't dared to look at my account these past few days. I'm not the only one, right? The fear and greed index is at 23, in the extreme fear zone, even lower than last week.

The US stock market is in a grim state too. AI stocks skyrocketed before, but now they're crashing hard. Chip stocks are feeling the heat as well. This tech sector pullback has trapped a lot of retail traders who chased the highs.

The global crypto market has dropped nearly 6% in the last 24 hours, with the total market cap shrinking to $2.38 trillion, although trading volume has surged to $140 billion. What does this indicate? Some are selling off, but others are scooping up big. It’s just a matter of who can hold out longer.

I've set a rule for myself: if my account is in the green, don’t rush to sell; if it’s in the red, don’t rush to buy more. Especially in this kind of extreme sentiment, it’s totally normal for today’s dip to be followed by tomorrow’s rise; chasing highs and cutting losses is the fastest way to lose.

I’m really focusing on position control right now. No matter how bullish I feel about a certain direction, I won't put more than 30% of my capital in a single market. When the stock market drops, crypto might follow, and if crypto crashes, the stock market won’t be safe either. Diversify a bit, at least I can sleep better at night.

Right now, the key for the US stock market is when the Fed will ease up. Until there’s a clear policy signal, don’t expect any big moves.

How heavy is your position right now? Or are you already on the sidelines?
A. Heavily invested, I'm betting on a rebound
B. Lightly holding, waiting for clear signals
C. Out of the market, taking a vacation
