When the entire market is bleeding red—both on the charts and in sentiment—sometimes the smartest move is to sit tight and resist the urge to chase. Panic trading during crashes usually just locks in losses.

Instead, consider redeploying your capital into less correlated assets. I've found it useful to diversify into other spending categories—whether that's real assets or even just stepping back from the markets entirely.

The reality is prices are likely headed lower from here. Rather than obsessing over every daily move, find something meaningful to focus on. The market will still be here when the cycle turns.
