Gate Square | 2/2 Today’s Hot Topic is #CryptoMarketPullback, and this one matters more than most.

I’m starting with the reason. What we saw in the last 24 hours wasn’t random selling — it was a classic leverage flush. BTC dipping below 76,000 dragged ETH and SOL with it, wiping out over-leveraged positions and resetting the market. Volatility didn’t spike because sentiment changed; it spiked because excess risk was removed.

Now let me break down how I’m navigating this shift.

💬 Portfolio Strategy
I’m not fully in cash, and I’m not blindly holding either. I’m staying selective. After a leverage flush, the market usually moves into a decision phase. I keep dry powder ready, but I also hold positions where structure hasn’t broken. The goal isn’t to predict the bottom — it’s to survive volatility and position for the next expansion.

💬 Winning Secrets in a Down Market
I focus on three things only.
First, I reduce size — not conviction. Smaller positions keep emotions out.
Second, I trade reactions, not headlines. Liquidity sweeps and failed breakdowns matter more than red candles.
Third, I hedge mentally before I hedge financially. If a level breaks, I’m already out in my head. That discipline saves more than any indicator.

💬 Market Alpha — What’s the Deciding Factor
Right now, I’m watching macro alignment, not just charts. Government shutdown risk, broader macro shifts, and sudden narrative shocks all affect liquidity behavior. The Epstein files chatter adds uncertainty, but price only reacts when liquidity reacts. For me, the real deciding factor is whether BTC reclaims and holds key levels after the flush. If it does, this pullback becomes opportunity, not danger.

This phase separates reactive traders from prepared ones. Volatility doesn’t mean weakness — it means reset. The ones who stay calm, structured, and patient usually come out ahead.
