The market has recently shifted its tone; it's time to take it seriously.

BTC has been declining from the 126,000 high set in October, with a nearly 30% drop, essentially giving back all the gains made this year. This is not just small fluctuations—$500 million in liquidation occurred within 24 hours. Meanwhile, silver has exploded, with a year-to-date increase of over 175%, breaking through $80 for the first time. Capital is voting with its feet, moving from digital assets to precious metals.

The underlying logic behind this warrants careful consideration. Experienced trader Michael recently pointed out that the current market bubble dynamics are eerily similar to the pre-2008 financial crisis. Economist Henrik Zeberg bluntly stated that we are in the largest financial bubble in history, and a crash is only a matter of time.

There are actually several warning signs: valuations of AI concept stocks are seriously detached from fundamentals, raw material costs have surged significantly, and the bubble in virtual assets is becoming increasingly obvious. When these factors stack up, the market's fragility begins to show.

What should we do? Now is not the time to focus on trading techniques but to think about how to survive. Consider these points:

First, reduce leverage ratios. In extreme market conditions, leverage is a ticking time bomb.

Second, reassess your holdings. Altcoins based on AI concepts and with high valuations are often the first to be hit during market volatility.

Third, moderately allocate physical gold and silver assets. This is not an all-in recommendation for precious metals but a hedge to diversify risk.

Fourth, maintain sufficient cash reserves. True opportunities often favor those who have bullets left.

The rhythm of history is hard to replicate exactly, but similar patterns keep recurring. No one can accurately predict what the next domino to fall will be, but preparing defenses in advance is never wrong.
