January 15 Market Overview: The Greed and Fear Index has risen above 62, signaling an increase in market sentiment. Meanwhile, the total liquidation amount across the network has reached $380 million, with traders' risk exposure rapidly releasing.

At this juncture, many are asking the same question — is now the right time to buy the dip or is it a trap to escape the top? Market enthusiasm is rising, but liquidation data is warning of risks. From a technical perspective, the index is trending higher, and from a capital perspective, the long and short positions on major exchanges are changing. Some see this as an entry point for a rebound, while others believe this wave of heat may be unsustainable.

The key is to understand your own risk tolerance and operational cycle. Short-term traders and long-term holders make completely different choices at this market stage. What is your strategy?

380 million liquidation, the greedy have all been harvested It's that old topic again, bottom-fishing or top-selling, honestly no one can say for sure The index is rising, but how many days can this heat last? No one knows I just believe in the short term, good luck to brothers holding long-term With so many liquidations, it seems some people still haven't learned to cut losses

380 million liquidation, still dare to rush in? I don't have that courage. Buying the dip? First, see how much is left in your wallet. Those who go all-in when the index rises are probably going to kneel. Short-term traders are probably regretting their guts out now. Greed index at 62, feels like it's time to harvest the leeks again. This wave of hype really can't last, I bet five cents. Entering without any stop-loss awareness is just giving away money. Is the rebound a trap? First, ask the 3.8 billion liquidation people.

38 million liquidation, greed index 62, this pace is indeed exciting. But I think most people are just gambling, not really following any strategy. Another wave of liquidations, I can't understand this market trend, it feels like gambling on the next sucker to take over. As the index rises, liquidations also increase. Is this the bottom or a trap? Anyway, I have no money to buy the dip haha. Greed 62, 38 million in liquidations, indicating that some people are still buying the dip while others are being liquidated. It's a coexistence game. The most painful are probably short-term traders; with this kind of volatility, you either don't survive or end up battered and bruised.

380 million liquidation, this is teaching us a lesson The index is rising but liquidation is high, it feels like they are digging a hole for the retail investors The greed index at 62, to be honest, is a bit scary... conservative folks should stay on the sidelines Short-term luck is strong, long-term luck is weak, it all depends on individual ability Those who are buying the dip now need to ask themselves if they can withstand another 3.8 billion sell-off The hype is rising, but I always find this kind of heat suspicious Everyone talks about a rebound, but I especially want to see a decline Risk tolerance, to put it simply, is how much loss you can sleep through

3.8 billion liquidation, is this what you call "opportunity"? I think, it's just the little guys getting slaughtered. Greed at 62 points and still daring to buy the dip, how hard is your head? Short-term slide, long-term lying flat, I'm just here watching the show. Index rises, liquidations happen simultaneously, isn't this script getting old? Quickly releasing risk exposure? That just means more cuts are coming. The phrase "heat cannot be sustained" hits hard, it resonates with many people. Is the rebound entry a trap to escape the top? I choose to keep observing, waiting for the blood to flow in rivers. Frequent position changes, is it big players shaking out the market? Greed index at 62 points, in simple terms, someone else has to take the buy-in. Choosing the right cycle is more important than just looking at the right direction, but this wave of market movement is hard to say.

380 million liquidation haha, still asking about the right timing, this is the signal The index is at 62 and still saying the hype is unsustainable, a typical FOMO mentality Short-term traders jumping in now are just throwing money away, I’ll keep holding The greed and fear index truly reflects the market sentiment, people are very restless Those who still dare to go all-in after liquidation data is out must have strong resilience Buying the dip, but the results are all like catching flying knives, why bother? 62 is really not low anymore, it's time to calm down and be cautious

380 million liquidation, can we really trust this wave of hype, or is it just another wave of harvesting retail investors? Greed index at 62? Beware, this is a classic false prosperity. Short-term traders entering now are just asking for trouble; I still hold and wait for the next cycle. As the index rises, liquidations also increase; this contradiction just doesn't seem right. To put it simply, big players are shaking out the market; retail investors, don't follow the trend, really.

3.8 billion liquidation, index rises to 62, this pace is a bit fierce... To put it simply, it's still mostly gamblers' mentality, few are truly strategic. Damn, it's the "bottoming out or top escaping" ultimate dilemma again, asking me this every time just gets annoying. The greed and fear index at 62 isn't really the top; it looks pretty scary but hasn't reached madness yet. Short-term traders might get wiped out this round; risk is being released too quickly. I'm just waiting idly; anyway, my idle funds are limited, let's see if it drops more. In terms of holdings, it's clear that there's a switch, indicating institutions are adjusting their positions, while retail investors are still blindly following. Can this rebound last? Honestly, I don't know, but such a fierce liquidation always feels like something's going to go wrong. Long-term holders don't need to look at these daily data at all; it's simply unnecessary.
