The harshest move in a bear market is often this tempting rebound.



Look, those who cut their losses and ran during the first plunge tend to regret it as soon as the price starts to rise. They think to themselves, "Why am I so bad at this," and when the rebound comes, they jump back in with heavy positions. But what happens? When the trend reverses and the price drops from the high point, the feeling of shattered resolve is indescribable.

Even more so, this round of decline will attract more newcomers—they see those who got trapped earlier cutting losses and think, "The bottom opportunity is here," and they enter one after another. When the main players strike again, the entire market turns into a slaughterhouse.

BTC's movements best illustrate this logic. Every rebound in a bear market is like a "fishhook"—it looks like an opportunity but is actually a trap. Traders with strong discernment can identify the nature of the rebound; but most people are emotionally driven and often fall for these false signals.

So if you believe we are still in a bear market, don’t be fooled by these rebounds. But if you’ve already confirmed that a bull market has started, then I didn’t say anything.

ngl this reads exactly like 2022 all over again... reminds me of UST in May when everyone thought the bounce was "it" lol. statistically speaking, bear market relief rallies trap like 70% of retail before the next leg down hits. not financial advice but... the risk-reward on these bounces is just fundamentally broken. smart money already exited.

Coming back with this again? I've seen through it long ago. The rebound is just the main force's fishing hook.

Here comes another fake rebound? I've seen through it long ago, really. --- Oh my, isn't this the same experience I had last time when I got trapped? Looking back, it still gives me a heart attack. --- The theory about fish hooks is correct, but ask yourself, has the bear market really ended? --- Haha, that's easy to say, but how do you tell? Most people simply can't do it. --- Those who get crushed when entering on a rebound are all greedy ghosts. Staying calm, can you die from that? --- So the key is to judge the overall trend, not to be hostage to every single K-line. --- The main force's method of cutting leeks is becoming more and more skillful, making it hard to defend against. --- Wait, your logic is a bit tangled. Is it still a bear market or do we need to go in? --- Everyone who has been through a slaughterhouse understands—never trust rebounds again.

Here we go again with this routine? I'll just see how many people fall for it; anyway, it's always the same script.

I've already said it, a rebound is just accumulation. Wake up, everyone.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. I just want to ask, are you sure you’ve clearly seen whether it's a bear or a bull now? --- A rebound is just a rebound, don’t add drama to it. --- Really, the ones who cut their losses are the easiest to get their faces slapped, I’m saying. --- I'm a bit tired of hearing about the fishhook theory, but... it does seem to happen every time. --- Is the bottom opportunity here? Haha, beginners will never learn. --- When the big players make their move, the retail investors should accept their fate. --- The bear market rebound pulling people in, this trick is indeed toxic. --- I mean, only a few can actually tell the difference. --- Who can really confirm that the bull market has truly started? Let’s hear it. --- The term "slaughterhouse" is perfectly appropriate.
