#美联储重启降息步伐 Want to survive in this market? Ask yourself three questions first.



Are you managing your positions correctly?
I made mistakes last cycle too—had less than 10% in reserve and still dared to go all-in at the bottom, ended up getting buried. Now my rule is: always keep at least 40% cash on hand. If your assets drop to the point where cash makes up over 70% of your portfolio, then buy in batches—pick the ones you’re sure can survive until the next bull market. Don’t go all in at once.

Are you really smarter than the market?
The ones who call for exits at the bull market top are often the first to rush in at the bear market bottom. Remember: almost everyone who enters during the first two waves before a big move will end up being wrong. Wait until liquidity is so tight it makes you question everything, and you see two waves of people frantically calling the bottom within a few months—that’s your signal to act. That’s human nature: it usually takes a third occurrence of a low-probability event for people to truly believe it.

Is your cash flow stable?
If you don’t have a steady income, your mindset and actions will be distorted during volatility. This isn’t motivational talk; it’s both a mathematical and psychological fact.

$BTC $ETH $SOL are all there, but whether you can hold on depends on how solid your fundamental logic is.

40% cash allocation is really aggressive. Last time, I had to sell at a loss because I didn’t keep enough. Now, the cash portion in my portfolio is only 35%, and I’m a bit nervous.

Well said, but I still think keeping 40% cash is too conservative—I usually keep just 20%. The key is to truly know whether you can withstand a pullback; don’t fool yourself.

Going all in to catch the bottom can really wipe you out. Now I only sleep well when I keep enough cash on hand. But honestly, waiting to see three rounds of "calling the bottom" before making a move? This market doesn’t give you that much time.

Really, going all-in ends up in liquidation. I went through the same thing last year. Now, I can't sleep at night without any cash on hand.
