These past few days, I clearly feel that liquidity is a bit scarce, and the market looks like a car without oil — it doesn't run well even when pressed. To put it simply, at times like this, I care more about "staying alive first," not over-committing, not recklessly adding leverage, and keeping some bullets and patience in hand. It's more realistic than trying to catch the bottom.
Recently, narratives around AI Agents and automated trading have heated up again. They are indeed convenient, but they also make people more prone to frequently interact on-chain out of curiosity. I tend to pay more attention to permissions and signature content, preferring to do fewer transactions. Last night, I was refreshing/retrying to wait for confirmation, and my patience was worn thin... Anyway, the market doesn't owe me this one. When risk appetite returns and on-chain activity truly picks up, it won't be too late to talk about bottom fishing.
