[Crash≠Rebound? The pain only seasoned old retail investors understand]
When retail investors see "a 91% drop," one thought pops into their minds: it’s so cheap now—so what are the odds it won’t go up?
I thought the same way back in 2017.
Hold on before you get carried away. A 91% drawdown is a fact, but “cheap” has never been a reason for a stock to rise. Has Disney’s stock ever been cheap? It could drop 90% and still get cut in half again. When UNI falls to this extent, the valuation is indeed low—but turning that undervaluation into upside doesn’t come from “it has dropped enough.” It comes from someone being willing to put real money in.
Why do I think the next seven days will most likely trade with strength and sideways action?
First, I’ve been watching the support at 3.86 for a long time. Several tests failed to break it, which suggests the buyers are still stepping in. If the shorts really wanted to smash it down, they would have pushed through by now.
Second, the Fear & Greed Index is 30. Market sentiment isn’t panic—it’s numbness. Retail investors have already given up and are lying flat. In situations like this, it often isn’t the worst point.
Third, there’s a regulatory-related vote in the US in September. I won’t name it—you can look it up yourselves. Even if the outcome isn’t immediate, the market likes to trade on expectations.
Of course, the most grounded question is this: can UNI truly turn around? Fundamentally, it depends on whether the DeFi sector can heat up again. Trying to pump the price just because “it fell too much” is something big players decide—it’s not something retail investors can guess.
When would I admit I’m wrong? If it breaks below 3.86 and does so with heavy volume, then that support is fake and I’ll reassess. But as long as it keeps wobbling within the 3.86 to 4.15 range, I’ll just watch the show.
What’s your mindset right now? Are your hands itching to trade? I’ll admit I’m a bit tempted—but this time, I really didn’t jump in.
