The recent market rhythm has prompted me to adjust my strategic approach. January's market movements were more exploratory; my plan is to take profits when possible and reduce positions as needed—there's no need to hold on stubbornly. This month is mainly for observation and adjustment, preparing for what's to come.

The real opportunity should be in February. The expectation of a Federal Reserve rate cut is heating up, which will be the core driving force in the next phase. I am already monitoring related prediction market dynamics, aiming to leverage this policy expectation window for strategic positioning. The key is to maintain the right pace—focus on defense in January, and then shift to active efforts in February.

You should take profits and stop in January; don't be greedy. Wait for the February window period before jumping in. That's the way of seasoned traders.

Thinking about February opportunities in January—typical "next month will definitely take off" mentality haha The Fed hasn't even cut interest rates yet, and they're already planning and strategizing... Defensive + policy gambler, I really respect this combination

January should be the month to reduce positions; those who hold on tightly are all trapped. --- If the rate cut expectations are once again dashed this wave, I will laugh. --- Sense of rhythm is indeed important, but is predicting the market really reliable? --- Good defense already means victory; don't think about getting rich every month. --- Will February really come? For now, it's just a wait-and-see situation. --- Heard this routine too many times, and in the end, it's just chasing highs and getting cut. --- Wait a minute, how can you be sure that the rate cut expectations can last until February? --- Old brother, your thinking is clear, but I'm worried about your mindset collapsing during execution. --- Instead of waiting for February, why not look for opportunities now? --- It's right to cash out when you can; don't be greedy. --- Predicting the market still depends on the real actions of policies in the later stage.

January is the time to harvest the chives; wait for February's Federal Reserve move, and that's when the real show of skills will begin.

January sell-off, February double? I've heard this line too many times, and the result is always the same—getting slaughtered anyway.

The position should be reduced in January, I agree with that, don't be greedy. When the expectations of interest rate cuts in February start to heat up, that's when you should pull the trigger.

January is for survival, February is for turning things around. Sounds good, but I'm just worried it might change again by then. The expectation of interest rate cuts really is, on the surface, simple, but who knows how it will actually play out? Defense still makes sense; it's stronger than those all-in moves. If you don't grasp the rhythm well, you'll end up getting cut. Hope your market prediction skills are sharp enough. If February really brings an opportunity, then clearing out and reducing positions now would be worth it. This round of operation ideas is quite clear-headed; at least you know when to stop.
