The recent Ethereum trend has been a bit outrageous, with obvious fluctuations in the market. Even laypeople can see signs of manipulation—such a market condition is better to avoid.

In comparison, Bitcoin's performance has been much more normal. But to be honest, we really missed the price above 89,000 before the US stock market opened. If we follow up now, the cost basis won't be as ideal. Instead of chasing highs, it's better to stay put.

Our idea is simple: let this wave of decline run its course, solidify the bottom, and when clear low-position signals appear, then lightly add to Bitcoin positions. No need to rush; the market will come back. The main concern is just not entering at the wrong point.

ETH0,77%

BTC0,97%

This wave of ETH is indeed a bit strange, it feels like institutions are dumping. Wait for the bottom signal before acting; chasing highs is just giving away money. That surge to 89,000 really caught me off guard; it's not worth jumping in now. BTC still needs to wait; only when the position is good can you get on board. ETH this wave feels heavily manipulated; better to stay away for now. To put it simply, just wait. Don't rush to buy the dip.

89000 that wave indeed didn't get in, now chasing it feels like taking a bagholder Wait for the bottom signal, what's the rush, the market won't run away The manipulation atmosphere in this Ethereum move is too strong, better to observe and wait before acting

My comment: That wave at 89,000 was truly amazing. Looking back now, it's all tears. I would have gone all in if I had known earlier. ETH's recent movement is indeed a bit strange; the manipulation is too obvious... better to wait. Don't move before the bottom is confirmed. I've learned my lesson from chasing highs. Wait for signals, don't rush. Anyway, the coins will eventually rise, just see who can hold on. This market trend seems to be testing the waters. Light positions are a safer way to try. At this price for Bitcoin, chasing the high is no different from giving away money.

I also watched the 89,000 wave, and it was truly a close call. Jumping in now just following the trend isn't meaningful. Wait for a low signal; anyway, the market isn't going anywhere. ETH has been a bit strange these past two days; it's better to stay cautious and observe. Diving in before the bottom is solid is just giving the big players money. Take it slow with a light position, no rush for this wave. BTC is still more reliable than ETH, but the entry timing is quite tight.

89,000 missed out, really a huge loss. Now jumping on the bandwagon to buy in is just catching the high-level leek.

I'm watching that wave at 89,000 in the mempool. The gas war is fierce, and arbitrage opportunities are being squeezed tightly... Now chasing the high is really just brain damage.

Missing out on 89,000 was a real hard lesson. Chasing highs now is just giving the market makers money. It's better to wait until the bottom is solid before taking a small position. If you don't get on this wave, you won't starve.
