The Fear and Greed Index rose from 10 to 29, and some say this is a signal that the Bear Market has bottomed out. But what if we look at it from a different angle?

The market thaw is never an instantaneous event. It's not as if a switch is suddenly flipped and everyone rushes in at once. Rather, it gradually warms up, little by little. The melting glaciers won't notify you; they will quietly flow downstream.

Many people are waiting for that definitive signal—it's as if the market will kindly tell you, "Now you can get in." But what is the reality? By the time the signal is truly clear for everyone to see, the candlestick chart has already risen halfway up.

From extreme fear (10) to moderate fear (29), it doesn't seem like much of a change. Yet it is precisely this "unremarkable" shift that marks the true turning point of market sentiment. When the index is still hovering at low levels, those who dare to enter the market will only realize later that they have hit the right timing.

The market always rewards those who have already started acting while others are still struggling with signals.
