Sometimes this market really has extremely low efficiency... Prices hover there all night, then perfectly retest the breakout level? Only to realize after waking up that I missed the chance to add positions. Thanks to this wave of low efficiency. From a technical pattern perspective, it’s somewhat similar to the April rally—an upward breakout after sufficient consolidation, followed by a retest to confirm support. Although this kind of movement can be confusing, for sharp-eyed traders, it’s actually a golden window to accumulate positions. The market’s low efficiency sometimes also means opportunity.

Sleep is actually the biggest enemy; if you miss it, you miss it. Low efficiency? I think this is just taxing retail investors. This trend really, not watching the market at midnight is just asking to be cut. That wave in April, I was also too late to wake up; now looking at the charts, I regret it. By the way, many people don't have the patience to wait for this kind of pullback confirmation and rush to buy the dip, only to get trapped. Market inefficiency is like a printing press for big players; retail investors like us can only pray. It feels like now you have to follow the robots to add positions, or you really won't be able to grab anything.

ngl the retest setup is classic but honestly? most retail just gonna fomo chase instead of actually respecting support levels. that's where the real inefficiency lives—not the price action, it's between the ears

Waking up too late really results in a blood loss; this market just loves this routine. I also experienced the wave in April, feeling like every time it's just repeating the same plot... Inefficiency is indeed a double-edged sword; some make money while others lose. Missed it again? Set an alarm next time, brother. This kind of pullback really tests your mentality; it's easy to bottom fish into a copycat. Being sharp-eyed also requires good sleep, I think. The essence of market inefficiency is the nightmare for retail investors. Are you fully prepared and just want to break through? I don't think so. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, or I would have regretted it for a week.

Low efficiency is an opportunity, it all depends on whether you have the eye for it. --- It's the same retracement pattern again, every time it can fool a wave of people. --- If you miss it, you miss it. Anyway, it will come around again next time. --- The trend in April was much clearer than this wave, this time it's a bit tug-of-war. --- Wait, can that support level really hold? Feels a bit shaky. --- Where are the sharp-eyed traders now? Why does it feel like there's no one talking? --- Is a full consolidation before a breakout? It looks more like a shakeout to me. --- The most disgusting thing about a low-efficiency market is this—you never know what the next second will bring. --- Accumulating positions? You need capital for that. I don't have enough money to play with this little. --- Waking up too late is the real problem; technical analysis here is all in vain.
