【How do you feel after a 36.8% drawdown?】
Today the fear index is 71, a week ago it was 69, and a month ago—well, not this number. That’s how this market works: the numbers change every day, but your position won’t go from halved to doubled just because the index rises two points.
A 36.8% drawdown. That number is interesting. Historically, with a pullback of this magnitude, long-term money does start taking a closer look. But looking is not the same as acting—just like when you fancy a girl: your eyes meet, but you still have to see whether she’s willing to go with you.
On the ETF side, there have been three straight weeks of net inflows, marking the best performance of 2026. The data does look good. But the time I got wrecked in 2017 was when I heard people saying “institutions are buying” and rushed in. Back then I also thought I was pretty smart, keeping pace with institutions. Looking back now—that money wasn’t made by institutions on your behalf; it was luck.
On the Liquid side, 4,000 BTC were taken by “white hats.” I actually don’t think that’s bearish. It’s better for the industry to solve problems internally than to be liquidated by outside forces.
The key question is here: what does buying the dip actually mean in practice?
Whether your money is strong enough, whether you can withstand the torment of continued downside—those are the core questions of buying the dip. It’s not “is the price low enough,” it’s “can you hold on without breaking your mindset.” Most people can’t judge that. So my attitude toward buying the dip is: if you have a light position and want to test with a small amount, I won’t stop you; if you’re fully invested and want to go all in, I advise you to calm down.
This round, I choose to watch from the sidelines and leave my position unchanged. What about you? Are you brave enough for this move?#BTC #加密市场 #SHRUB #marketfeel
