Regarding the recent market trend, my judgment is that this wave of rally is a rebound and is unlikely to develop into a bull market. Looking ahead, the overall trend in 2026 will enter a bear market cycle, so maintaining a cautious attitude towards mainstream cryptocurrencies like BTC is more prudent.

However, a bear market does not mean continuous decline; this is a common cognitive trap. There will be at least two more obvious trading opportunities, and the key is how to seize them.

More importantly, the current market is no longer the era of "one trick pony" that it used to be. Structural trends will become more common—differences in performance across various sectors and different coins will widen, and blindly sticking to a single strategy is definitely not viable. You need to learn to adjust your approach according to market rhythm, avoid rigidly sticking to one method, as this is the key to survival.

Rebound, just rebound, don't keep promising yourself empty promises here. In a bear market, you still need to be flexible. Sticking rigidly to one coin really doesn't work. If 2026 really turns into a bear market, how to grasp structural opportunities remains a problem. I prefer the metaphor of carving a boat to seek a sword. Instead of blindly guessing ups and downs, it's better to learn how to turn around. Honestly, this wave of market movement feels a bit虚 (uncertain/weak). A bear market is not the end of the world; it’s about how you choose to play it.

A rebound is not a bull market; there's nothing wrong with this logic, but the main concern is that most people won't listen. Even if the 2026 bear market arrives, there's still a chance; the key is who can survive until then. Playing with coins in a fixed way will eventually get you cut; you need to be flexible. The market is changing, and the mind can't be rigid; I agree with this point. Carving a boat to seek a sword is indeed prone to losses; a structural market requires sharp insight. However, claiming there are two opportunities in a bear market is overly optimistic... it all depends on luck.

A rebound is not a bull market, I agree with that, but is 2026 really a bear? --- Is there still a chance for a bear market? It sounds comforting, but I'm just worried it’s all talk and no action. --- Structural market trends are indeed real; blindly holding onto one coin is just asking for trouble. --- The metaphor of "carving a boat to seek a sword" is brilliant—how many people are still using last year's strategies? --- Two waves of opportunities sound easy, but in practice, it's hard to tell which one is the real chance. --- That's correct, but execution is difficult. Knowing you need to adjust and actually making those adjustments are two different things.

A rebound is not a bull market, I still agree with that judgment. The key is whether you can truly seize those two opportunities, which is easier said than done. A structural market trend is the main event; sticking to a single strategy should indeed be phased out. In a bear market, there are actually more opportunities—let's see who can survive longer. The era of relying on a single trick is over; you need to be well-prepared with multiple skills.

nah this is exactly the kind of hand-waving i'd expect. "two obvious opportunities" but somehow nobody ever catches them until hindsight... empirically speaking, structural trades require actual data, not vibes

There are still opportunities in a bear market, the key is not to buy and hold foolishly --- I'm tired of hearing the term "structural market trend," but indeed, we need to be more flexible --- 2026 bear market? Wake up, let's survive this year first --- Sticking to one strategy is long outdated; you need to learn to follow the trend --- Two waves of opportunities sound simple, but who can precisely grasp them in reality? --- A rebound is just a rebound; don't fool yourself into thinking it's a bull market --- The market moves so fast that trying to stick to old methods will really cost you dearly --- A bear market doesn't mean everything is wiped out; you still need to have that awareness

A rebound ≠ a bull market, I agree with that, but only entering a bear market in 2026? That seems a bit optimistic. You need to be flexible with your position adjustments; holding onto a single coin for too long should have already led to exiting. Two waves of opportunities sound simple, but in reality, bottom-fishing is extremely difficult.
