Hear me out before trying to bite my head off.
Markets have been expensive since the last high in October 2024, traders scraped pennies in 2025, no windfall wins, barely surviving, low liquidity. This is classic when you zoom out. Macro indicators are yelling a reset is required.
Now for retail participants, markets have been tough this year might be one of those where “lucky” traders will be wiped out, no problems in that usually happens every few years in the business cycle, however what one should understand is markets are against you, your inability of getting accustomed to market changes is.
Not trying to ragebait or anything, markets are tough this year we might even see some expansion but it would be with low liquidity to begin with but liquidity might enter once the wheat is separated from chaff.
P.S.: i hope i am wrong.
