Every market cycle tells the same story: the best entry points feel terrible when you're taking them. That's the catch nobody talks about. You're buying when sentiment is grim, charts look ugly, and everyone around you is bearish. It doesn't feel right. That discomfort? It's actually the signal. Clarity always comes later—after the move has already happened. By then, looking back feels obvious. The trick is learning to trust the uncomfortable feeling before it becomes comfortable in hindsight. Curious to see how 2026 plays out and what lessons the next cycle teaches us.

To be honest, the hardest part is enduring that period of mental torment. --- It's the same old excuse... but it does seem to work every time, ironic, isn't it? --- Feeling uncomfortable is a signal. It sounds simple when you hear it, but actually doing it almost gives you a heart attack. --- 2026? Uh... let's just survive this round first, haha. --- So either you become numb from earning, or numb from losing—there's no middle ground. --- Is clarity always after the fact? Then why do I still lose after the fact? Did I misunderstand? --- Reverse thinking really isn't a problem, it's just the psychological barrier that's tough.

That's right, it's that awkward feeling that truly signals an opportunity. The problem is most people simply can't endure until that moment.

That's right, the more uncomfortable you feel, the more you should buy. That's the art of holding on, haha.

Well said. It's often that this awkward feeling is the best opportunity, and contrarian indicators are indeed useful.
