Anyone who has experienced multiple cycles of ETH bull and bear markets understands one principle—what tests the most is never the rise, but the fall. This bear market from April to May might truly test the bottom, and what are the people who will really make money doing right now? Waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for that moment when their mindset collapses and they are forced to sell off in panic.

Many people don’t understand this logic. They think that blindly following the trend and chasing every rise daily is trading cryptocurrencies. Actually, that’s not the case. The ones who make the most money are always those with patience—they know every penny they earn is real money, not printed by the system. So they prefer to lie low at the bottom rather than recklessly shooting at high prices.

What will the bottom of the 2026 bear market look like? No one can say for sure. But one thing is certain—some will shout bearish, and others will go long. The key is not to follow the wind blindly. The opportunity to open positions with real money will always be reserved for those who place calm and rational orders.
