In recent years, Bitcoin's performance has been highly synchronized with those of leading tech stocks—when Apple and Tesla rise, the crypto market gains popularity; when they fall, the majority of the crypto market also comes under pressure. Interestingly, in extreme situations like a banking crisis, Bitcoin is sometimes seen as a safe haven asset, and during deep corrections in the US stock market, it can show independent upward movement.

To grasp the rhythm, you must watch the half-hour before the US stock market opens—that's when emotions and capital flows are at their most intense. More practically, every time the US stock market experiences a significant drop, it often presents a "golden opportunity" window for the crypto market. Panic selling often creates short-term extreme lows, and those brave enough to act at this time can spot opportunities. The key is to stay clear-headed when emotions are at their coldest.

The half-hour before the US stock market opens was truly amazing; you really have to be there to watch it. Talking about the golden pit is easy, but when panic sets in, your hands still tremble. The correlation between the crypto world and US stocks is a bit excessive, but during crises, Bitcoin’s independence is indeed appealing. Staying clear-minded is easier said than done; many people lose their composure during the coldest times. It really depends on whether you dare to take a shot when everyone else is cutting losses. When popularity drops and prices fall, following the trend is really just old advice. The positioning of safe-haven tools still depends on the market; not all crises Bitcoin can protect you from. Many follow the trend, but few truly grasp the rhythm. The lows created by panic selling are sometimes just fake drops. When the US stock market coughs, the crypto world just catches a cold. The current linkage is really tight.

When US stocks fall, cryptocurrencies get opportunities. It sounds good, but how many actually dare to bottom fish? The key is having bullets; without cash, even the best dips are useless. I always hear this kind of reasoning, but I still get cut. This linkage is indeed becoming tighter and tighter, and it feels like the crypto world is increasingly becoming a vassal of the US stock market. Watching the market half an hour before opening? Workers don’t have that kind of time. Panic often indicates that the bottom hasn't been reached yet, and that’s the hardest part. On the other hand, there are indeed few people who can stay clear-headed in cold times.

The first half-hour after the US stock market opens is really a fierce battle; if you can't keep an eye on it, you'll suffer heavy losses.

The so-called "Golden Pit" is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Many people get scared even colder when their "emotions are at their coldest." --- I really can't keep up during the first half-hour of the US stock market opening; either I oversleep or I shake and lose money. --- I'm tired of the idea that cryptocurrencies and US stocks move in sync. When will they truly decouple? --- Banking crises are the real test for Bitcoin; everything else doesn't matter much. --- It's easy to say, but the key is who can stay calm in panic— that's the real skill. --- Golden Pit? I think most are Golden Holes, one after another. --- The first half-hour of intense emotions is true; my account is even more fierce— it just crashes outright.

That's right, the key is that the half-hour before the opening is really the most intense time for the kill. I've heard the term "golden pit" many times, but it mainly depends on whether your psychological resilience is strong enough. It's during panic that true players emerge. When the US stocks fall, cryptocurrencies follow suit—I've seen this pattern too many times. Those who can place orders during cold, tough moments indeed earn the most, but I still hesitate. Staring at the market before the opening has become a habit, and I haven't had much sleep.
