Last night, when DOT dropped to 1.69, the market discussion forums were filled with voices like "Breaking new lows, this is really the end." But I was doing the opposite—adding $5,000 during this panic moment, not with a reckless all-in gambler approach, but with a systematic strategy specifically designed to target bottom rebounds. This morning, when DOT hit 1.86, my account showed the strategy was complete, with a total profit of +23.8%. Even more interesting, only one-third of these profits came from the price increase itself; the rest were gained through on-chain structural analysis and white-hat opportunities.

Many people often buy the dip halfway up the mountain, and the key reason is—they only look at candlestick indicators.

Ordinary retail investors see DOT's RSI entering oversold territory and rush in eagerly, often getting trapped in a "downtrend continuation." Why is that? Because true bottom signals are not drawn by technical indicators but are determined by large on-chain transfers and liquidity pool game theory.

When DOT fell to 1.72, I did three things that were completely different from most people:

First, check on-chain fund flows. Although there are $5.6 million in cash outflows from the spot market, three large whale addresses continued accumulating within the 1.70-1.73 price range, with a buy-in volume of about $8.2 million. More importantly, all these funds flowed into staking contracts, indicating this is not exchange dumping but long-term holders positioning.

Second, hedge against market panic. By monitoring trending keywords across the entire network, I found that negative keywords like "cut losses" and "zeroed out" surged over 30%. This precisely indicates that market sentiment has reached an extreme, and the energy for a rebound is building.

The key to bottom-fishing is whether you can identify genuine bottom signals rather than being fooled by superficial price figures.
