The strategy of bottom fishing seems simple, but in reality, it carries some risks. Waiting until the price hits the bottom before taking action may seem smart at first glance, but during a market decline, no one usually knows where the bottom is. Many people end up losing more and more, catching the dip halfway up the mountain, only for the market to continue falling afterward. So, this method sounds easy, but actually implementing it is quite challenging.

Really, I am that fool who copied halfway up the mountain, still holding my position now.

The experience of losing more the more you copy is heartbreaking. Everyone claims they can buy the dip, but in reality, they're just armchair strategists after the fact.

catching the knife is just mempool fiction tbh. nobody has real-time bottom detection—that's alpha copium. most retail gets liquidated chasing that fairy tale, averaging down into the abyss while whales already dumped their bags three dips ago. classic toxic flow pattern.
