Watching the market ride new waves these days is wild. Stock indices keep hitting fresh records, AI projects are drawing billions in hype, and trade tensions keep everyone on edge. Yet one legendary investor chose to sit tight rather than chase the action.

Buffett's move says something interesting: patience beats FOMO in volatile times. While everyone's chasing the latest rally, he's quietly building his war chest. The strategy? Stay alert, observe market mechanics, wait for dislocations. It's a reminder that sitting on cash—though boring—sometimes pays off more than jumping into every opportunity that glitters.

For traders and investors tuning into market cycles, this approach highlights why reading the room matters. Uncertainty in trade policy, elevated valuations, and speculative excess can shift faster than you'd expect. The 'waiting for the right moment' game isn't passive sitting—it's strategic positioning.

Buffett's move this time is really brilliant, it's basically teaching us not to get killed by FOMO. Now, who isn't following the trend of AI or trying to buy the dip? He's just lying flat and saving bullets... Basically, he's betting on the next big drop.

When Buffett holds cash, it's basically betting on the market being irrational... waiting for others to sell at a loss.

It's 3 a.m. and I'm still watching the market. Buffett's move to hoard cash... I think the issue isn't FOMO, but rather that the liquidity gap hasn't appeared yet. Let's wait and see the price difference data between CEX and DEX.

Warren Buffett is plotting another big move; this old fox just knows how to wait... --- Right now, it's all AI bubbles, everyone wants to make quick money, but he's stockpiling bullets. Impressive. --- Basically, it's about waiting until you see clearly before taking action; don't get brainwashed by FOMO. --- The saying "cash is king" is back, but this time it seems to have some truth... --- Wait a minute, this strategy sounds simple, but not many can stick with it. --- AI projects are so hot, how can you resist buying? I really can't do it, haha. --- Dislocations are always opportunities; it all depends on who can hold out until that moment. --- Trade wars, overvaluation, hype... now risks are piled up, no wonder he's choosing to observe. --- Patience pays, but I can't listen when my account is bleeding.
