🤔 CATCH THE BOTTOM?

A common mistake. Psychologically, it feels «safer» to enter at extremes: tighter stop, better price, better position than others.

But markets don’t work that way.

No one knows the exact reversal point. We can only read signals like exhaustion, overheating, and structure shifts.

And usually, trying to catch the bottom comes not from greed — but from fear of being wrong or taking a loss.

Nobody knows the exact turning point. Too many factors are involved — which is why trading pure guesses is barely different from gambling.

🐑 SO WHAT SHOULD YOU RELY ON?

1. Wait for confirmation.

Don’t try to be first. Waiting for a reversal? Let price show the first impulse, then enter on the pullback.

2. Look for structure.

Higher lows/highs, structure breaks, consolidation — these matter more than guessing one magic level.

3. Watch for capitulation.

You know I’m against trading the news, but sometimes an event becomes the final exhaustion point. At the top they push maximum euphoria, at the bottom — maximum fear.

4. Keep liquidity for re-entries.

In reversals, taking a couple stop losses before finding the real entry is normal. One good trade can easily make up for it.
