To be honest, short-term corrections in the crypto market are nothing new.

Volatility is the very nature of this market—expecting it to soar endlessly? That’s not investing, that’s dreaming. Every price correction actually filters out those who truly understand the rules of the game.

When panic sets in, that’s often when opportunities start to appear.

For Bitcoin, my personal target is still above $100,000. Why? Because the real major bull runs usually don’t start when everyone is euphoric, but are quietly brewing amid skepticism. Looking back at history, every major rally began with fear and doubt—by the time we reach $120,000 or even $126,000, those chasing the top will only be left kicking themselves.

My strategy is simple: stay patient, stay disciplined.

Market ups and downs are normal; complaining is pointless. The ones who truly come out ahead are those who stick to their convictions and weather the cycles. The current volatility could well be the accumulation phase before the next big move.

Additionally, besides Bitcoin, I’m also watching some structural opportunities.

Take Injective, for example. This isn’t just another public chain spinning stories—it’s real financial infrastructure with an order book built directly into the protocol layer. Perpetuals, spot, options—all natively integrated, and developers can plug right in. As for speed, it’s top-notch: low latency and near-zero gas fees. This kind of experience is rare in decentralized trading.

When Bitcoin is consolidating, smart money is often already positioning for the next engine. The market never lacks opportunities—it only lacks people who can spot them and hold on.

The thigh-slapping analogy is brilliant; I regretted it when it hit 120,000. Those who couldn't hold on have already been weeded out; only those who still hold are truly resilient. Injective indeed hasn't received much attention from me; I need to catch up on that. You should buy when there's panic. I've heard this many times, but I just can't do it. Wait, how do you know so much about so many chains? It feels like you're lurking everywhere. The market has always been like this; the harder it falls, the harder it rises. It all depends on who can withstand the psychological pressure.

Just treat the surge as a dream, haha, this is hilarious. --- Wait, is Injective really that strong? Gotta do some research. --- I'll slap my thigh on that day too, but for now, I'll just buy the dip. --- Patience and discipline sound easy, but in practice, my blood pressure just skyrockets. --- Order book protocol layer? That sounds interesting. --- People who chased at 126,000 really should be slapping their thighs, but who can really time the market perfectly? --- That's how the market is—smart money already left, and we're still staring at the candlesticks. --- Injective, Bitcoin—we gotta grab both, right? --- This consolidation is just building up strength. I bet you don't have enough patience for it. --- Sounds nice, but let's see if you can really hold on.

To be honest, I'm already tired of hearing this logic, but it really can't be proven wrong. When the day comes that it hits 120,000, I bet I'll be hearing stories about how people "should have gone all in" again, 😅 Injective is actually a bit interesting. Putting the order book on-chain is indeed different from other public chains, but you have to distinguish whether it's real demand or just another story.

Slapping the thigh is a perfect metaphor, people really will regret it when the time comes. Wait, I need to take a deeper look at this Injective chain, it doesn't feel like an overhyped project. To put it simply, it's all about enduring—only those who can hold on will profit. This correction is a real hassle, but you're right, moments of panic are indeed great opportunities to pick up bargains. Bitcoin hitting $100,000 isn't a dream; the key is whether you can hold on, that's the real test. Injective's gas fees are nearly zero? If they actually build out the ecosystem, it will definitely take off, but it still depends on how the developer community grows. The biggest fear is not being able to stick with it, panicking when you see others making money, and then selling at a loss and exiting. Right now, I'm just waiting—waiting for the next ignition point.

Seriously, anyone still worrying about pullbacks must have never looked at historical charts—this is just standard practice. When we look back at today’s prices at $120,000, they’ll seem like a steal; it’s all about mindset. I’m also watching Injective. Having the order book on-chain is definitely rare, and near-zero gas fees are really attractive for DeFi. Patience is key; complaining won’t change the market. Opportunities have always been there—it’s just about who can truly hold on.

To be honest, I'm just waiting for that $120,000 moment right now. Let's see who still dares to chase then. I need to do some in-depth research on Injective. The protocol-level order book is indeed something special. Pullback? I've long gotten used to it, my mindset has already gone numb, haha. Really, there aren't many people who dare to hold right now—most are still tangled up in panic. I agree with the prediction of Bitcoin hitting $100,000. History always repeats itself. If you can't hold, it's better to exit early. Don't torment yourself. Injective's gas fees are close to zero? If they can really pull that off, that's insane. Hope I don't get off before the main rally starts. This round of sideways movement is just recharging—it's time for the next engine to fire up.

The real money-making opportunities often quietly appear when others are panicking. That "slap on the thigh" metaphor is spot on—when the time comes, we'll see who's really playing the game. Injective's low-gas design is actually pretty interesting. It's definitely different from those chains that rely solely on narratives. Wait, is this really just a buildup phase? Or am I getting trapped again, haha. To be honest, I'm also waiting for Bitcoin to hit $100,000. Let's see who can hold on until that day.
