[LINK, this spot—I really don’t dare to move]
To be honest, seeing LINK at 12.32 right now, up 7 points over the past 7 days, my first reaction wasn’t “Should I rush in?”—it was “This position is really f*cking awkward.”
Why?
First, the emotions. The Fear & Greed Index is 71, and the market overall is greedy. In a situation like this, sure, it can go up. But the gains in the greed zone are never handed to you for free—they’re for the people who chase in and pay the bill. The time I got cut in 2017 was exactly because I thought I could make another round of profit while it was in a greed zone.
Next, the chart. In the last 24 hours it rose 0.3%, and over 7 days it’s up 7.1%—what does that indicate? Momentum is exhausting. It ran up for a while, and now it’s starting to hesitate. Trading volume is still active, but at times like this, sideways consolidation usually means it’s waiting for a direction. There isn’t a small amount of sell pressure overhead, and the buy orders below haven’t fully withdrawn yet.
One more thing: LINK is down 77% from its high. Isn’t that a big drop? But the issue is: oversold doesn’t automatically mean a bottom. Back when I was making money in 2021, I trusted the saying “If it drops enough, it should bounce.” The bottom is something the market forms—not something you calculate from valuation.
So when would I think my judgment was wrong? If, over the next few days, it breaks out above 13.5 with increased volume, that would mean there really is fresh capital entering—it wouldn’t be a bull trap. If it keeps consolidating on thinning volume, or even starts getting smashed downward, then my consolidation call holds.
So what’s my attitude right now? ➡️ Consolidation. I’m not saying it definitely won’t go up. But even though my hands are itching, at a spot like this I’m not going to bet big on the direction.
What’s your mindset right now? With this wave of LINK, do you dare to move? Are your hands itching?
