Interestingly, when everyone is unanimously bearish, the market actually accelerates upwards. Last year, the bearish voices were everywhere, and the conclusion was nothing more than "No hope for a bear market in 2025." But what happened? The main index was pushed up stubbornly.



Looking back, at the beginning of 2025, there were indeed many pessimistic views, saying there was no hope within the year and that it needed time to adjust. But the facts are in front of us—the market simply does not follow the usual patterns. Those who held their positions firmly laughed last; the thrill of being fully invested and eating up gains is indeed undeniable.

As we enter 2026, the bears have started to change their tune again. Now the narrative is "Long-term optimism, short-term risks" and "The crazy bull won’t appear, reduce positions and wait for a correction." The reasons sound convincing, but can we really trust this line of reasoning?

Looking from a different angle: the upward cycle in 2025 has already laid the foundation, so the task for 2026 is to continue and amplify it. Since the big cycle is established, the fluctuations within the short cycle are actually just part of the trend-building process. True market movements often quietly ignite amid voices emphasizing "risk management."

This is the interesting part of the market—making money in crypto and finance relies not on following mainstream opinions. Breaking through the cognitive barriers of consensus is often where the opportunities lie. Those坚持 that most people look down upon will eventually become shining memories.

Ha, starting to talk down again? The group from last year should be struggling financially this year. Full positions are the way to go; those shouting about risk management have already fallen behind. Contrarian trading is really profitable; the more bearish the outlook, the more opportunities there are. When most people are wrong, that's when we make money. We need to stick to this wave; don't be brainwashed by the bears. Hold your positions and sleep; wake up and enjoy the gains—simple. Last year's wave of pessimism now sounds like a joke. Waiting for a pullback? Haha, all you'll get is regret.

Contract all-in is the right way; these short sellers are just here to harvest the retail investors. The thrill of going all-in and eating the meat is truly unmatched. Those who were bearish last year are now all silent. Talking about reducing positions and waiting for a pullback is purely a panic buyer mentality. Contrarian thinking can make big money; most people miss opportunities when they are wrong. Breaking through consensus can lead to sudden wealth—simple and straightforward, but makes sense.

Haha, you're changing your tune again. It's really funny, I'm tired of the same old tricks from the shorts. Last year they were shouting bankruptcy, now they are long-term optimistic. This inconsistency is hilarious. Those who are fully invested are truly making a killing. I have to keep up with the pace too. Lowering positions and waiting for a pullback? Wake up, brother, history will repeat itself. Contrarian consensus is the golden rule, and this time should be no exception. The more bearish the outlook, the more I want to go all in. Anyway, at worst, it's just a full position at a high level trapped. Holding on to win, right? Feels like luck plays a big role after all.

Shorts really have no memory, getting slapped in each round and still not learning. To be honest, being fully invested has indeed made a lot of money. Those around me who listened to advice and reduced their positions are now all regretting. This is outrageous. Always thinking about catching the bottom and picking up flying knives, but in the end, the flying knife cuts your own foot. Counter-trend trading is the real way to go. When most people are bearish, I should be bullish. Will 2026 continue with this logic? It feels like another wave of being cut again, haha.
