We can’t know exactly when the market will reverse, but we can take steps to reduce exposure during uncertain periods. I stepped away from trading on the 28th because I felt a pullback might be coming. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to stay disciplined during the rally, and I could have ended up taking unnecessary losses.

Sometimes slowing down is the fastest way forward. At market highs, managing emotions and avoiding impulsive decisions can matter more than chasing every move.
