Friends who have been watching the market recently should have noticed ZEC's trend. After falling below the 512 support level on January 3rd, the previously bullish outlook immediately turned bearish, and market sentiment became particularly restless. Many people are at a loss—should they buy the dip or exit and wait?

To be honest, most retail investors in the crypto market are caught in a strange cycle: when prices rise, they follow the trend and shout "Charge to 550"; when prices fall, they rush to say "Defend 400." This pattern of chasing gains and selling at losses seems to follow the market, but in reality, it is completely drowned out by market noise. What's the core issue? It's the unwillingness to spend time understanding the price structure, making decisions purely based on emotions.

If you're currently facing ZEC's downward trend, I think you can remember three "don'ts" and two "dos" principles.

Don't blindly buy the dip. The 476 support level hasn't stabilized yet, and forcing yourself to catch this knife often results in a worse cut. Don't sell in panic. If your long-term investment strategy is sound and your cost basis is reasonable, there's no need to be scared out by short-term fluctuations. Market volatility is normal every day. Don't be led by the words of influencers. Many opinion leaders currently lack solid logical support; they are just mouthpieces. Following their rhythm will only accelerate losses.

The most important thing at this stage is to stay calm and wait for clearer signals.
