From the perspective of the main players, before the main uptrend begins, they usually first smash the trend to render all technical indicators ineffective. They hold the initiative; whether you sell or not is your choice, but they will definitely take this action. This is not to completely crush the market, but a form of testing. If you can withstand this test, then you are qualified to enjoy the subsequent gains.
So, when will the main uptrend begin? When people in the market feel that the price has risen high and are shouting that the 'main uptrend has begun,' that is actually not the real main uptrend. You can never catch the main uptrend because you are always trapped in a comparative thinking pattern of highs and lows. If you can't catch the main uptrend, then what can you earn?
