The recent market fluctuations have really left me with mixed feelings. The U.S. stock market is on holiday, which actually means a temporary 'stagnation' for the market, with no new capital inflows and no selling pressure from institutions.
But the problem is that this wave of corrections for altcoins has been the most severely affected. Many weak coins have already collapsed directly, and many haven't rebounded before being dragged down by Bitcoin, reaching new lows.
From my personal perspective, the current market is actually a rollercoaster. Strong coins may be able to hold on, but many altcoins are in a state of being 'flung away', completely lacking support. My operational strategy remains to enter and exit in batches, especially in this kind of situation; keep some base positions and don't throw all your chips in.
Regarding the upcoming market trends, I have some thoughts: We are still some time away from the ultimate positive news on January 20th, and the holiday effect cannot be ignored, especially with the Asian New Year approaching. Overall market sentiment may become more unstable. Therefore, the risk of chasing high positions in the short term is too great, and I still recommend staying on the sidelines and patiently waiting for suitable entry opportunities.
If you are currently stuck in a position, don't rush to make big moves; the key is still position control. You can hold onto your spot and wait for clearer market signals before making adjustments. Regarding short-term fluctuations and consolidations, I personally believe that the best strategy is to do less and observe more. As for contract trading, try to avoid chasing highs, especially in such an uncertain market environment where risks are extremely high.
At this time, calmness and patience are more important than blindly chasing rises and falls. Believe in yourself and maintain a clear strategy; the market will always have turnarounds.
