Shorting the index? Don't get your hopes up. You can't even catch the main upward wave, and you're already dreaming of making a profit in a declining market? Wake up.

What's the current situation? The main market just broke down. Look at this year's thousand-point rally — the main players—AI concept, tech stocks, metal sectors, energy storage lithium batteries—none of them just fell from a high? They're still at high positions.

Treat each major index like a stock. Today’s candlestick—do you dare to buy the dip? Anyway, I don't dare.

At times like this, unless you have a core position that's determined to hold long-term, there's really no need to keep flipping in and out, wasting yourself. The wisest choice: wait and see, until the market stabilizes.

Of course, idle time is also idle time, so you might as well think—after the next stabilization, which direction will funds flock to? Doing some homework in advance can never hurt.
