It depends on the timeframe you are looking at it. I am looking at it from a long-term perspective. As if you are a long-term holder. So it might seem wrong in the moment, but if you zoom out it might be just a deviation.
From that perspective if you sold the exact bottom at 4100, but then it went higher to 5200, and then it crashed to 1500... You still did alright.
Call me crazy but this is how i view things right now. We have the most CRAZY conditions we've ever had, so why wouldn't we have the most crazy price action as well?
This is with 12Month candle chart.

If you are looking from (day)trading perspective then you have no choice but to trade with the momentum.
If you don't follow the momentum, you will be wrong on the timing, get stopped and lose money... and then it happens without you.
I'm up 8.9% this month on a decent sized portfolio. The point being if you are in the right areas at the right time a lot of stuff doesn't matter ( and vice versa ). I'm not in US indexes or stocks I liked them in mid to late 2022 but didn't dive in ( eg I posted I liked JPM around $103 on here ). 2024 has been a strong year for what I trade and a lot of 2023 was very weak.
