📉 About Market Trends When you feel desperate or even fearful, don't panic; there will be even more desperate and fearful times to come. Only when you truly understand the meaning of "the greatest sorrow is a broken heart" will a temporary bottom likely arrive. Still not giving up, still struggling, still hoping for a quick market reversal? Rest assured, as long as the bulls are alive, the bears will continue. 🔮 About Options In the most panicked moments, volatility amplifies, and people's fears are magnified even more. When implied volatility (IV) soars, this is a good time to "sell options" because: Selling options = selling a placebo to alleviate anxiety. Of course, this placebo is real and effective if the predetermined strike price is reached. When things are calm and IV is low, especially during prolonged periods of "nothing happening, excessive boredom," it's a good time to buy options because prices are low, and you're betting on a large fluctuation soon. However, this is precisely when volatility and panic are at their peak; IV is high, prices are even higher, and buying options is really not worthwhile. That's all.

The so-called moment of extreme panic.
