Market dynamics reveal an interesting paradox: what looks overextended often keeps climbing, while what appears oversold typically continues falling. This is the essence of trend momentum—strong assets tend to ride their wave even after substantial rallies. The conventional wisdom of 'buy the dip' gets tested repeatedly when you realize that catching falling knives rarely beats the disciplined approach of following established momentum. In both traditional markets and crypto trading, fighting the trend often costs more than it gains. Sometimes the asset that seems expensive by historical standards is expensive for a reason—and that reason usually has more momentum left in the tank.

That's right, following the trend is always safer than bottom-fishing... I was operating against the trend and lost heavily, now I'm just riding the wave.

Following trends really makes money; many are left behind when the market hits bottom.

Honestly, the idea of bottom-fishing should have been thrown into the trash long ago. I've been saying it... Those who jump in front of the trend end up losing the most.

Chasing trends leads to quick death, trying to buy the dip leads to even faster death, this is what the market has taught me. To put it simply, don't go against the trend; there is a reason why it is expensive. Once momentum starts, it simply can't be stopped. Historical highs are sometimes truly not the top. Fight the trend? That means you're tired of living.
