This is the truth about bottom fishing: While most people are gripped by fear, a few are picking up chips according to plan. But do you think bottom fishing is just 'buying when it drops'? Wrong. The real bottom fishers hold two sheets of paper: one is the target price list, and the other is the position allocation chart.
In the current market, the bottom fishing logic for ETH, BTC, and PEPE actually hides completely different strategies:
First look at ETH: only act when it drops significantly; don’t rush.
When ETH dropped from $4,000 to $3,300, I told everyone in the group to set their target price in the range of $3,200-$3,000 and build positions in three batches. A new fan couldn't help but go all in at $3,500 and ended up panicking all night when it dropped to $3,300. But the experienced players do it this way:
First batch: $3,300, using 10% of total funds to test the waters;
Second batch: $3,100, add another 20% position;
Third batch: only dare to put in the remaining 30% position after dropping below $3,000.
Why so cautious? Because the ETH market is too large; a 5% drop is enough to cause a stir. When it dropped to $3,300 last week, on-chain data showed that the selling volume on exchanges suddenly decreased—this indicates that the panic selling is almost over. Buying in batches at this time is much steadier than going all in at once.
Looking at BTC: the more it drops, the more you need to keep some backup.
When BTC dropped from 120,000 to 110,000 over three days, I noticed two types of people around me: one type kept asking, 'Is the bear market here?' while the other quietly opened Excel to calculate their positions. Among the latter, there was a friend doing quantitative trading, and his strategy was very simple:
Every 3% drop, use 5% of idle funds to add positions;
Always keep 30% cash, even if it drops to 100,000, don’t move;
As long as it doesn't break the 20-day moving average, don't consider stop-loss.
He showed me a chart: from last November to now, every time BTC drops more than 10%, as long as there are no black swan events, it will rebound more than 5% within 30 days. But the key is, you need to have enough bullets to wait for the rebound—those who hold a full position have long been shaken out by the volatility.
Lastly, about PEPE: bottom fishing for this kind of coin requires a 'stop-loss parachute.'
The bottom fishing logic for MEME coins is completely different from mainstream coins. When PEPE dropped from 0.0000015 to 0.0000008, some shouted 'After a 50% drop, it's time to buy,' but ended up buying halfway down. I’ve seen those who truly made money from PEPE all understand this rule:
Only use 5% of the principal to play, and you won’t feel bad if you lose it all;
Set two stop-loss points: cut half at 20% drop, clear out at 40% drop;
Sell in batches as it rises; never fantasize about 'selling at the highest point.'
Last week, when PEPE rebounded to 0.0000012, someone in the group shared a profit screenshot saying, 'Bottom fishing successful.' But I know that those who entered at 0.0000008 and sold half at 0.0000010 are the real winners—MEME coins are too volatile, and securing profits is always more reliable than greed.
In fact, the core of bottom fishing is like an old fisherman catching fish:
Patiently wait for the fish school to gather (assets drop significantly, panic selling is exhausted);
Leave some strength for the net when casting (build positions in batches, don’t go all in);
When encountering a storm, quickly reel in the net (strict stop-loss, don’t hold on stubbornly).
Currently, ETH is hovering around $3,500, BTC has stabilized at $115,000, and PEPE is fluctuating around 0.0000009. The real opportunities have long been hidden in these numbers—it’s just a matter of whether you have the courage to act according to plan and the patience to wait for your prey to take the bait.

Follow me; tonight in the live stream, I will break down the 'mainstream coins + MEME coins bottom fishing template,' including real-time on-chain data interpretation. Remember, the market dropping isn't scary; what's scary is that you have no plan and no courage—opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
