Today is 1.21, and the Fear and Greed Index has reached 32. Interestingly, a small exchange's same-named index is only 24, a difference of 8 points. Such a discrepancy is quite strange, but one thing is certain—the overall market sentiment is on a downward trend.

Looking back at the past three months, the index peaked at 61 and dropped to 11 at its lowest. It now seems that the bottom has not been fully explored yet. It is estimated that tomorrow, this sentiment gap will gradually narrow, with data from smaller exchanges gradually aligning with the leading ones, but the overall direction is still likely downward.

Fortunately, today was finally a profitable day. But these are minor matters. In this market, surviving long-term is far more important than making quick money. Being able to survive over the long term is already a win.

The index difference is 8 points, small-scale data always needs to catch up with the leading ones. The longer you stay alive, the more you win. This saying is so true. The bottom hasn't been fully explored yet, let's keep watching the show tomorrow.

Position 32 really isn't enough to watch, and the smaller exchanges at 24 are even more outrageous. I'm a bit anxious about the bottom not being fully explored; I feel like I need to dig a bit deeper. Living long is truly the real winner, I agree with that. Today’s small profit isn't much, but the key is to survive until the next round. An 8-point difference in the index is indeed strange; it feels like the market isn't that simple. Falling from 61 to 11, there probably is more to this story, right? Only the tough ones can hold on until now, really.

Fear index of 32, Small 24, this difference is indeed interesting, it feels like everyone is panicking. The underlying situation hasn't been fully revealed yet, let's keep watching. Living a long life is the real way, the quick money approach should have been abandoned long ago.

Small exchange data is always delayed, which is normal. The foundation hasn't been fully explored yet, no need to rush. Living long is the true way, this statement really has no fault.

theoretically speaking, this 8-point divergence between indices is literally a cross-rollup state verification problem in disguise... the smaller exchange exists in its own silo, right? eventually it'll bridge back to consensus, but that convergence vector is what we should really be tracking here. the beauty of decentralized price discovery is that friction reveals truth.
