The Best Entry Point? When You Dare Not Buy

Many people ask: When is the best time to enter the market? The answer is often harsh—usually when you least want to place an order.
When the group is filled with despair, K-line charts look like slides, experts fall silent, bloggers delete posts, and you stare at the screen questioning life—those moments of “If it drops further, I’ll uninstall the app” are often not far from the market’s bottom. Because the market’s nature is not to reward bravery but to reward going against human nature.
The true bottom never comes with a banner saying “Welcome to Bottom-Fishing.” It’s usually accompanied by doubt, fear, and silence. Trading volume shrinks, discussions decline, and even jokes disappear. This “extremely boring” moment is when chips quietly shift hands.
But note, not all declines are opportunities to buy. The key is in the structure: Are there signs of a bottom? Is there increased volume supporting the move? Is there a fundamental reason backing it? If it’s just emotional panic and the logic remains unchanged, then there is a reason to consider positioning.
Therefore, the best entry point is not when the price is rising the fastest, but when it’s falling hard but no longer making new lows. When your heartbeat speeds up but you can still analyze rationally, that might be the opportunity.
In summary: Stay calm when others panic, stay alert when others celebrate. The market is tough on the unprepared but rewards patience.
