Will there be a market in 2026? I've heard this question too many times.



My answer is simple—market trends are not something to wait for; they are something to seize by hitting the right rhythm. Don’t let the words "bull" and "bear" trap your thinking.

Those who truly make money are never the ones holding a full position and stubbornly sticking to it, but rather those who understand rotation, can switch sectors, and control the rhythm. 10,000 USDT is not impossible, but the premise is clear: don’t expect to hit it all at once, focus only on stage-specific, high-probability opportunities.

**My trading framework is actually very clear:**

Follow the flow of funds and ride structural trends.

At the beginning of the year, watch the sentiment; in the middle, observe narrative shifts; later, look at trading volume and sector rotation. When sentiment starts to heat up, funds will first flock to "strong consensus" assets; as consensus rises, money begins hunting for "expectation gaps"; once expectations are saturated, funds will flow into the next hot sector.

The key to making money isn’t what coin you buy, but when to get in, when to step back, and whether you have the guts to execute. The wave I previously ambushed with fans is a typical structural opportunity: observe early → confirm at critical points → wait for sentiment to release → lock in profits in stages. From small 24-hour swings to full upward potential, what you’re eating is logical support, not pure luck.

**Someone will definitely ask here:**

"Can I keep up with limited funds?" and "What if I’m afraid of missing out or getting caught?"

I'll be straightforward—fear of these emotions isn’t the problem; reckless action is. The market will never change its rhythm because of your feelings; it only rewards those who are well-prepared.

If you’re still spinning in place, unable to figure out what to focus on, what to wait for, or how to enter, then what you lack isn’t opportunity, but a reliable, repeatable operating system.

Getting your mindset clear will naturally reveal the direction. Hitting the right rhythm makes making money just a matter of time. You don’t need some divine-level trade, just execute a complete, correct process once.

Looking at the medical records, this patient is again "waiting for the market to move." A typical liquidity dilemma. --- To be honest, the ability to rotate is the core competitiveness; everything else is noise. --- The difference between 10,000U and 50,000U isn't as big as you think; the key is not to move blindly. --- Fund flow analysis is quite clear, but what about discipline in execution? That's what most people lack. --- The real diagnostic point is "when to exit," most people can't do it. --- Structural opportunities themselves are not a problem; the issue is whether you can recognize them. --- Clinical manifestation: losing money isn't because the market is bad, but because the entry and exit timing is all wrong. --- Don't mess around without an operating system—that's the truth. --- Emotional factors, narrative shifts, volume rotation—frameworks are correct, but very few can follow the entire process accordingly. --- Fear of missing out or being trapped is essentially a lack of understanding. The market won't wait for you to figure it out.

That's right, timing the market is the real skill; sticking to the same old approach should have been abandoned long ago. Rotation is the key principle; don't let the words bull and bear box your mind. Even with limited funds, you can profit as long as you act wisely and methodically. Mastering the emotional aspect, narrative, and trading volume in this process makes making money just a matter of time. The most consensus-driven assets are the first to attract investment; this rule has never changed. The most profitable phase is during the divergence of expectations—strike when the iron is hot, and exit when you understand the situation. 10,000 USDT can be turned into more, but the premise is not to expect instant success; focus on capturing confirmed swings. Instead of worrying about whether there's a market trend in 26 years, think about how your trading system is functioning. Getting the entire process right once is a hundred times better than blindly gambling; this is the core principle.

That's correct, but I still think most people simply can't get the rhythm right; they're just fooling themselves. Getting the rhythm right sounds simple, but actually executing it is another matter. This framework sounds smooth, but when a bear market really hits, how many can hold steady without panicking? With less capital, the cost of rotation is too high; a single slippage can eat up most of the profit. Instead of waiting for a certain opportunity, it's better to just dollar-cost average and hold on, which is a more stable mindset. The key to making money still depends on luck; the framework is just a post-hoc explanation. Expectations gap, when everyone can see it, is called an expectations gap; if you can't see it, it's a trap. Locking in profits in batches sounds advanced, but in reality, it's just frequent trading, and the fees will kill you.

That's right, the key is rhythm and execution. I really dislike people who keep waiting. Timing the sector rotation is much more profitable than stubbornly holding onto a single coin, I have deep experience with this. Even with limited funds, you can seize structural opportunities; it depends on whether you're willing to follow in batches. If you're still asking whether there's a market trend, you basically haven't understood the market logic yet. Getting the rhythm right is really just a matter of time; there's no need to wait for a big market move.

The core is not to act blindly; if you get the rhythm right, the money will come naturally. That's right, but the key is that most people simply can't execute. This framework sounds simple, but when it comes to actual operation, various feelings can torment you. Capital rotation is indeed more reliable than holding a full position and toughing it out, but it's a psychological barrier. I want to ask, is it still possible to enter and observe now, or have I already missed the opportunity? People who hold a full position and tough it out indeed suffer the biggest losses, but locking in profits in batches requires a high sense of timing. I've seen too many people think they've got the rhythm right, only to lose everything with a single reverse move. Instead of worrying about whether there will be a market in 2026, it's better to first build your own system.

That's quite right, the key is still execution. I'm the kind of person who thinks a lot but does little. --- Sense of rhythm is indeed important, but the real challenge is not being greedy for that one moment. --- This logic sounds great, but in actual operation, all kinds of emotions come into play. --- It's a bit of a punch to the gut; indeed, what’s missing is not opportunity but the system. --- No matter how well you hype it up, in the end, you still have to learn the hard way by stepping into pitfalls yourself. --- Following the trend with 10,000 U is really tough; there's a complete difference between making money by others and making money yourself. --- Repetitive execution is really difficult; always wanting to pursue the perfect entry point. --- I've tried this set of expectation gap hunting; it's just that when it's time to cut, I can't bear to do it.

Speaking nicely, but the key is still having the courage to execute --- Rhythm is easy to talk about, but how many actually get it right... --- With less capital, you need to be more precise, that's the truth --- I just want to know when this wave of sentiment will be released --- Rotation, rotation, whenever it's my turn, I always lose... --- Everyone's right, but I still have the fate of always falling when I buy --- How to operate this framework so I won't get cut? --- 10,000 USDT is indeed difficult, but after hearing it, I still want to give it a try --- The scariest thing is the moment of misjudging the rhythm --- It seems simple, but executing it is full of emotional interference --- Assets with strong consensus are often those that are noticed late --- Can the expectation gap really be exploited? Or is it just survivor bias again --- Getting the rhythm right is much harder than choosing the right coin --- The easiest time to make reckless moves is when you're panicking, this is my blood and tears story --- An operational system is important, but a strong mental system is also essential

Basically, it's about timing and execution. These two things can really make a difference. Getting the rhythm right indeed leads to profits, while missing it results in repeated setbacks... I am a living example. Even with limited funds, you can still make gains. The key is not to be greedy and try to go all-in at once; dividing into batches can really save your skin. This framework sounds simple, but the biggest challenge in practice is the psychological barrier. Everyone knows they should control the rhythm, but it's the hand tremble that gets in the way. Rotation is definitely better than holding on tightly. I used to hold coins without selling, but later I learned to take partial profits, which actually earned me more. What you said is right, but how many actually execute? Most are stuck in a dead cycle of missing opportunities and getting caught.

In simple terms, it's an efficiency frontier problem of capital games. If you don't hit the right rhythm, you're just providing liquidity to the market... This logical framework is essentially about tracking the sentiment curve of capital, but the real challenge is executing discipline. Most people get stuck at the step of "going in circles." 10,000 USDT does have a chance, but the gas fees in the cost function can eat up half... Ironically, the most important aspect to optimize is often overlooked. The phrase "Consensus fills the gap, then hunt for arbitrage" is understood, and on-chain you can see how this game is played out. Instead of just listening to stories, it's better to directly observe MEV...

Getting the rhythm right is not a problem, but very few people can actually execute it. To put it simply, knowing is easy, doing is hard. It looks easy but is difficult to actually implement. When funds are limited, the mindset is most likely to collapse. I have deep personal experience with this. Instead of waiting until 2026, it's better to first build your own system. Locking in profits in batches is something I need to think about carefully. Emotional warming → Consensus strengthening → Hunting for expected divergence, the logic is clear. The real issue is that those who can confirm key positions early on are already financially free. Courage, this thing, cannot be cultivated without experiencing being trapped a few times. A reliable operating system is the most valuable thing. Rotating between tracks sounds simple, but in practice, it's full of pitfalls. I just want to know which is more painful: missing out or being trapped. Getting the process right is more important than watching any coin, and that is indeed the truth.
