The market you are observing right now is the perfect example of why professional trading has nothing to do with instinct or with "it seems to go up": after a violent dump, like the one that just occurred on BTC and cascading on SOL, the following phase is not automatically an opportunity but an absorption zone, where market makers unload leverage, freeze the price, and wait for retail to expose themselves mistakenly; oversold RSI, Stoch RSI at zero, and extreme Bollinger Bands are not entry signals in themselves, but maximum risk signals, because the price can bounce back as much as continue to lateralize or revisit the low without any warning; the professional broker in this context does not look for the low, does not anticipate movement, and does not "try", but stays flat until the market shows a clear decision through structure, hourly closes above key levels, and recovery of the main averages; entering early means paying spreads, fees, and funding on a market that has not yet chosen a direction, turning even a P\u0026L positive into a ridiculous gain relative to the capital involved; the real difference between those who survive and those who burn the account lies precisely here: knowing when not to operate when the market is in a trap phase, waiting for a confirmed breakout or a clean pullback, and using capital only when the risk/reward ratio mathematically returns in favor of the trader and not the market maker.
