Let's state a heart-wrenching fact: Those who claim they can buy at the lowest point are either bragging or selling courses. The average cost for large institutions buying BTC is around $40,000, and for ETH, it’s near $1,500 — they have professional teams, insider information, and unlimited capital, yet what happened? They still couldn't buy at the Floor Price. During that big dump on October 11th last year, I saw too many celebrities' accounts worth millions of dollars drop to zero, with liquidated contracts piling up.

Are you still hesitating whether to wait for a lower price? This "wait and see" mentality is essentially an obsession. If institutions can't do it, why should retail investors think they can?

**Talk about some practical operational ideas**

Don't chase the perfect entry point. Buying Bitcoin at 30k and 40k, looking at today, that price difference barely matters in the overall increase - it's not even 10%. What really matters? It's whether you dare to jump in when the price breaks through key resistance levels. Missing out on the so-called "lowest point" is not scary; what's scary is missing the entire market cycle due to hesitation.

Leverage is something you should avoid. A 50% fluctuation in altcoins is considered normal operation; using leverage basically means you're signing up for a funeral package for yourself. Remember the life-saving formula: keep your spot position within 80% of total funds, and you must leave 20% in stablecoins to cope with extreme market conditions—this is your lifeline.

**Sharing a few practical signals**

Market sentiment is the best contrarian indicator. When keywords like "Bitcoin" trend on Weibo, it's time to consider gradually reducing your positions; a sudden surge in the amount of deposits on exchanges usually signals a top; when the fear index falls below 15, it's actually an opportunity to build positions.

How exactly to buy? You can add to your position for BTC and ETH every time they fall by 15%, but remember to only trade spot. For altcoins, just pick the leaders with a market cap below 5 billion USD, like SOL, AVAX, and ARB.

**Three Survival Rules to Remember**

First, institutions can't find the bottom, and pursuing precise entry is just self-torture. Second, leverage is addictive; getting liquidated once basically means you're out of the game. Third, use spot trading to capture the average market increase, optimize returns through position management, and exchange time for space—one complete cycle takes about 18 months.

When the market is crazy, you stay calm; when the market is desperate, you are greedy. It's that simple.
