Let's look back at what actually happened in the previous cycle from a technical standpoint.

Major market turns rarely occur in a vacuum. Usually there's a trigger—exchange collapses, tech narratives falling apart, or some other systemic stress—that finally breaks the dam and sparks the correction.

But here's what's interesting: the patterns repeat. Each cycle brings its own shock event, yet the underlying mechanics follow a similar rhythm. Understanding these catalysts isn't just retrospective analysis—it's about recognizing when conditions are primed for the next move. Whether it's sentiment exhaustion or structural weakness, the market signals tend to cluster before things shift.

NGL, I've heard this theory too many times, every time they say pattern repeat, and then the next cycle gets slapped in the face... --- The key is who can truly identify the signal cluster in advance. To put it simply, it's still gambling. --- Wait, isn't this logic just armchair strategizing after the fact... The trigger had already caused a drop when it appeared. --- The term "structural weakness" is too broad; it can be applied to anything. --- Honestly, I couldn't see the "signals" from the last cycle at all. I don't know if it's my blindness or the author's selective narration.

Want to review the bloody history of the last cycle again? Bro, I’m just afraid—every time I see the words "pattern repetition," I think of the money I went all-in on in 2018... Nowadays, who doesn’t know that signals gather before major bottoms? The question is, can we these little guys understand it? Haha, I’ve never understood it myself. --- Let’s put it this way: recognizing catalysts is easy, but when it comes to critical moments, people still end up holding the bag. That’s my ten years of lesson learned. --- Markets give signals before the "trigger point" arrives? Wake up. No matter how clear the signals are, they can’t stop FOMO’s footsteps. That’s how we keep getting harvested cycle after cycle. --- So, is this cycle coming? Let’s just buckle up; history is about to repeat itself again. --- Pattern repetition? Bullshit. I think each time the routine is different, but in the end, retail investors always lose—that’s the real "law."

Well said, the previous round was pushed down like this, and every time they have to find a reason to dump the market.

History loves to repeat itself, it's just that the reason for dumping has been phrased differently. Wait, what will be the trigger this time? Last time I thought I was being clever. Patterns repeat—it's well said. It feels like every round we fall into the same trap.

Here we go again with the old tricks. Can we avoid them this time? --- History tends to repeat itself, but we never learn... --- Wait, are you trying to say this time is different? I bet five bucks it’s not --- Just look at the technicals, don’t listen to those "this time is different" nonsense --- Systemic risk is always there; it’s just a matter of who runs away first --- Patterns repeat, I’m tired of seeing them. The key is when will it explode --- Recognize the catalysts early, don’t wait until you get burned to regret it
