I was having an interesting discussion about buy strategies in a falling market. Basically, people get obsessed with hitting the perfect bottom, you know, that exact moment when everything rebounds? Well, according to analysts like Tom Lee, that's practically impossible.



The conversation is different: instead of trying to predict the bottom, why not just start accumulating during the decline? Like, you know the asset will eventually go back up, so why not buy little by little as it drops? It seems obvious when you think about it that way.

I remembered this while talking to some traders here, and some people still believe they can catch the exact bottom. David Morris, one of the names I follow, also comments on this regularly — most lose money trying to be heroes, while those who accumulate during the fall end up making more profit.

The thing is: nobody knows where the real bottom is. It could be today, tomorrow, or a month from now. But if you start buying gradually during the drops, you reduce the timing risk and increase your chances of profit when the recovery comes.

It's like the difference between trying to catch a ball in the air versus catching it as it falls. Much easier that way. Here at Gate, you can do this smoothly with various strategies.
