Carrot in front of the donkey, self-indulgent shrinkage of 2.06 trillion

**💡 Little Sister’s Recent Thoughts

Guys, today I want to talk about emotional cycles.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve explained the phases of emotional cycles countless times: chaos stage, main upward stage, high-level oscillation stage, and retreat stage.

Currently, market sentiment is in the chaos stage. Sector rotation and hype are dominant, limit-up spaces are suppressed, and there are some trend-based groupings.
So, the current strategy is mainly low buy and high sell; chasing highs can easily lead to being trapped. Keep positions light (overall 30-50%). Focus on satisfying trading needs and maintaining a good trading feeling, waiting for the main upward phase to arrive.

Identifying the resonance point is crucial. When the index, sentiment, and sectors move in the same direction, it’s resonance.

We need to find the first type of resonance—index and sentiment resonating upward. The most common way is to predict through the “ice point,” known as ice point resonance activation.

After continuous declines in the index and sentiment, the index hits a “golden pit,” and sentiment reaches panic levels. The entire market falls into despair, volume shrinks significantly, the index stops falling, bears can’t push it down further, and even cutting losses becomes difficult.

At this point, a slight push from the bulls can cause a rebound, and the suppressed sentiment can explode instantly.

This resonance point is the easiest to judge and the most valuable.

🎯 Tomorrow’s Small Position Strategy for Trial (30% position)

Watch for volume increase—look for tomorrow’s volume and positive resonance in the direction of the breakout
Wait for main trend confirmation—wait for the real main trend to emerge
Don’t chase highs—news-driven surges are hard to sustain

Key points to observe: whether volume can exceed 2.3 trillion, whether limit-up height can break through 5 limit-ups, the sustainability of the main trend, and quantifiable behaviors.

Today’s all cash. Many guys ask me why I always hold no positions. Why do I always miss out?

Because I know, opportunities don’t come every day. There’s no meat every day. The profit over a year depends on those few waves during the main upward phase. At other times, it’s just maintaining a trading feeling. So, don’t rush. The carrot is always there; the key is whether you have patience to wait until it’s ripe. Let’s encourage each other.

Remember to like and follow—tomorrow will see continuous limit-ups! 💖
