Historically, more retail capital is wiped out during sudden pullbacks in a greed phase than at the absolute bottom of a bear market.
When sentiment runs hot, watching sudden red candles triggers a painful mix of panic and paralysis. Most traders freeze on their planned profit targets, only to panic-sell right into support when fear takes over.
I have seen this exact sequence play out across multiple cycles. Every time $BTC takes a sharp tumble, the gut reaction is to treat it like a catastrophe, but these sharp liquidations are standard market mechanics designed to wipe out excess leverage. When open interest gets too crowded on the long side, the market always seeks liquidity before finding a sustainable floor.
The costliest error during these moments is trying to catch every falling knife or blindly rotating into volatile assets like $ETC without a clear invalidation level. Keeping dry powder in $USDT and letting price action settle before executing is what separates survivors from exit liquidity.
Are you taking this pullback as a signal to derisk, or are you waiting for key support to confirm before stepping back in?
