Bear markets make bulls disappear from sight. Bull runs make bears vanish from the radar. That's the illusion every cycle plays on us.

But here's what matters: each phase we go through only amplifies what's coming next. A deep pullback isn't weakness—it's just building pressure for the next move. A rip doesn't mean it'll last forever—it's setting up the counterforce.

Understand the cycle, respect its power, and stay committed. The ones who flinch lose. The ones who hold through the noise? They're the ones who catch the real moves.

Really? It’s always like this. During a bear market, the bulls hide away, and when the bull market comes, the bears disappear. Basically, it’s an illusion game. In fact, pullbacks are just energy accumulation, don’t panic. Don’t get too excited during rapid rises; everything has its limit. Those who persist will make money, while the hesitant always chase the high. You’re right, the cycle is so cruel. What about those in the bear market? They’re either dead or have changed their tune. When the bull market returns, they’re all back alive, hilarious. The key is to keep a steady mindset and not follow the crowd blindly. The greater the pressure, the stronger the rebound—this is a law. --- (Here are other comment versions with different styles, you can choose any:) The cyclical nature is very real, but human nature is the biggest enemy. I’ve heard this countless times, yet some still chase highs and cut losses... Deep correction? That’s an opportunity, why can’t some people understand it? Those who are firm really make big money, but unfortunately, most are not such people.

nah, seen this cycle pattern analyzed to death but fr the red flag here is ppl thinking they can "respect the cycle" without actually doing DYOR on fundamentals. drawdowns ≠ guaranteed pump incoming, just sayin'

That's true, but how many people can truly stick to it until the end? Most people cut losses in a bear market, chase highs in a bull market, and go through cycles repeatedly.

That's right, but the problem is that most people can't hold on until that day. --- The cycle is easy to talk about, but when it comes to the critical moment, who doesn't want to cut losses? --- Steadfast? Ha, just look at your account balance to know what steadfast really means. --- Deep retracements don't necessarily mean weakness... It sounds comforting, but does it work when you're losing money? --- The idea that bullish and bearish trends disappear is a bit absolute; in reality, they are both present, it's just that those making money are celebrating while those losing are silent. --- The key is to live long enough; not everyone can wait for the next cycle.

That's right, those with a fragile mindset are the first to be eliminated. --- Deep corrections are really about accumulating energy; many people fail to see this point. --- The cycle is meant to test your mentality. If you can't hold on, you're destined to be cut. --- Hesitation is indeed a death sentence. This round of the market is just so brutal. --- Bull and bear forces disappear and reappear, cycle after cycle. In the end, those who can wait are the winners. --- When the counterforce comes, most people start to regret not holding on. --- Every deep correction sees some people fleeing; when the market recovers, they start to regret, typical of chasing highs and killing lows.

That's right, but the only concern is whether you can understand this point. In a bear market, the bears become overconfident; in a bull market, the bulls get carried away. As a result, everyone gets caught off guard. The key is to have patience and endure, as too many people are just one step away from winning.
