Market corrections can be brutal, but here's what separates winners from losers—discipline.

When the price tanks, even down -35% or more, the chart can still look bullish if you zoom out. The key isn't timing the bottom perfectly; it's having the conviction to hold your position through the noise.

Two critical mistakes to avoid:

**Don't panic-sell at the lows.** You'll crystallize losses and miss the bounce.

**Don't chase rallies with fresh money.** Buying higher after selling lower is a losing game.

Instead, build your thesis before the dip, stick to it, and let volatility work in your favor. The biggest gains come after the worst looking charts.
