In fact, whether 'the funds can hold out until the bull market' has never been about 'how much principal there is', but rather 'the volatility resistance of the funds + the margin for error in the position' — even if the principal is not much, as long as it is not drained by short-term fluctuations, one can wait; conversely, even if the fund amount is not small, if all in and unable to withstand a pullback, one may exit before the bull market.


First, clarify two core questions, and you will know if your funds can 'hold out':

First: Is your money 'spare money'?

If this money is 'needed in the short term' — for example, next month's rent or tuition in half a year, even if it only accounts for 20% of the position, it may become a 'hidden danger before the bull market'. When the market pulls back, if the money is needed, one can only be forced to cut losses; and bull markets often start when 'everyone can't hold on and exits'; missing this portion of principal means that any subsequent rise will not concern you.


However, if it is 'spare money that won't be needed for more than 3 years', the mindset and operational space will be completely different: a 30% pullback does not need to be panicked (since there is no hurry to withdraw), and one can even take the opportunity to average down and lower costs; even if the market is sideways for half a year, one can withstand the 'time cost'. This kind of 'pressure-free funds' is the foundation for being able to 'wait for the bull market'.

Second: Does your position 'have room for maneuver'?

Many people always feel that 'having more funds can hold out', but in reality, going all in on one asset and using leverage to chase prices is the easiest pitfall that leads to 'not being able to hold out until the bull market'. For example, putting 100,000 all in on a certain altcoin, a 50% pullback leaves only 50,000, and even if the bull market later doubles, it only returns to 100,000, which is equivalent to having wasted the wait; if leverage is added, a single sharp drop could lead to liquidation, leaving no chance to wait.


On the contrary, small funds with reasonable positions — for example, 30% cash + 50% mainstream coins (ETH/BTC) + 20% potential altcoins, can use cash to average down during pullbacks, mainstream coins have strong resilience, and holding a small position in altcoins allows for flexibility. Even if there is a short-term drop of 30%, the overall account drawdown may only be 15%, which can withstand volatility and keep pace when the market starts.

Lastly, let me be frank:

A bull market is never 'waited for', but rather 'lived through'. Even if the principal is only 10,000, as long as it is spare money, with room left in the position, not blindly using leverage or chasing highs and lows, one can endure until the market starts; but if borrowing money to trade or going all-in, even with 1,000,000, one might be liquidated during a pullback.


So there’s no need to struggle with 'whether funds are sufficient', first check: is the money spare money? Is there cash left in the position? Can you accept 'not making money for half a year'? If there are no loopholes in these three questions, your funds will surely be able to 'hold out until the bull market' — the rest, just leave to time.$ETH $BTC #ETH创历史新高
