Traders all know that a sharp decline is not scary; what’s scary is when the market falls into dead silence.

Look, as long as there is a clear direction, whether it’s positive or negative, the market can digest it. Investors can judge, respond, and find their own position. But what about that state of uncertainty? No one knows what the next step will be, everyone is guessing, and no one has confidence. The volatility at this time is often the most intense.

When does the real turning point occur? It’s the moment when the answer finally is revealed. Certainty arrives, and the market becomes calm. Because the biggest cost to the market is the cost brought by this uncertainty—incorrect expectations, frequent timing attempts, and psychological exhaustion.

So, rather than worrying about whether the market is good or not, it’s better to focus on when this story will have a definitive conclusion. Certainty is the true reason the market can settle down peacefully.
