Every major drop is a collective test of retail investors' understanding. Some panic and cut losses, some wait and observe, and some quietly increase their positions. The true bottom never appears when market sentiment is 'stable'; it hides within panic, collapse, short-selling, and exit. When you are hesitating whether to catch the bottom, the smart ones have already positioned themselves in batches. Don't aim to be the most precise in timing; instead, think about how to prepare in advance, control the pace, and hold onto your chips. Opportunities are not waited for; they are actively created in moments of pain.
