ICP has recently dropped quite sharply, down 8.01% in a single day, with the price falling to around 4.109 USDT. At first glance, it’s indeed alarming, but if you look at this coin’s historical performance, from the previous surge from 1 USDT all the way up to 9 USDT, and now a pullback to just over 4, it’s essentially brewing for the next wave.

Looking at the 3-day K-line pattern, this level is quite interesting. The large decline has actually given an opportunity for those patient enough to wait. You might consider entering in stages, not necessarily placing a heavy bet all at once initially, but trying out with 10-20% of your position. Set a stop-loss at 3.8 USDT; if it really breaks below that, accept the loss and exit. That’s the most prudent approach.

The key level to watch is 4.5 USDT. Once the price effectively breaks through this point, it indicates that the rebound momentum is serious, and you can consider adding positions moderately. The current strategy is simple: build positions gradually at low levels, set a risk bottom line, and wait for confirmation of the rebound before gradually increasing your holdings. Keep an eye on this coin’s subsequent trend; opportunities often favor those who are prepared.

nah the whole "patience pays off" narrative is just cope for bag holders tbh. icp's governance is fundamentally broken—this isn't recovery, it's just protocol darwinism playing out.

This dip is purely a shakeout; accumulating gradually at low levels won't result in losses.

Oh no, they're brewing again... According to the database, this set of rhetoric has been used several times. From $9 down to $4, and they're still talking about brewing the next wave. How many days have passed since they last said this?

It's the same "gradual accumulation at low levels" rhetoric again, I've heard it a hundred times... But ICP dropping from $9 to $4 is indeed a bit harsh, and the gambler's mentality is starting to kick in again.

Uh... it's the same story of building positions at low levels. Every time it's said like this, but the results are... ICP, this thing, dropped from $9 to $4. They talk about brewing the next wave, but it all feels like after-the-fact armchair quarterback talk. A $3.8 stop-loss seems like an illusion; at that point, it will just break through the bottom directly.

Oh no, paying over 4 dollars for this position really hurts, but honestly I agree with the logic of dollar-cost averaging. --- It's that old saying again, the key is whether 4.5 can hold steady, otherwise it's a hot potato. --- ICP's recent correction was a bit fierce, but falling from 9 dollars to 4 dollars, history tells us this can still turn around, it all depends on who has the courage to wait. --- Setting a stop-loss at 3.8, I agree with this point, avoiding getting trapped is the most important. --- Dipping in stages at low levels, waiting for a rebound confirmation before adding more, this strategy can't be beaten, it's a test of mental resilience. --- 🤔 Is 4.5 really that sacred? Or is it just another self-soothing thought. --- It's easy to say to enter in stages, but how many actually dare to buy in at over 4 dollars? Most will probably regret it after falling below 3 dollars. --- Opportunities are for those who are prepared, but the premise is that you have to survive until that moment, and that's the real challenge.

Ha, here comes the ICP story again? Honestly, dropping from $9 to just over $4 is really tough, but during times like these, it’s the best test of one’s mental resilience. My approach is to try small amounts, set a stop-loss at 3.8, and that’s it—no heavy gambling. --- If I can break through the key level at 4.5, I’ll follow; if not, I’ll keep observing. Anyway, there’s no rush right now. --- I agree with the logic of building positions in batches, to avoid getting stuck too tightly. When the time comes, it’ll be too late to regret. --- Talking about brewing the next wave, I just want to see if this coin can make a move. It’s still too early to draw conclusions. --- Entering at low levels sounds simple, but in reality, my hands tremble when I operate. It still takes discipline. --- If this rebound really succeeds, those who sold earlier will regret a lot. I feel a bit sorry for them.
