$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Top-down works best in macro-driven markets, ie,high inflation, Fed uncertainty, geopolitical shocks. Whereas bottom-up thrives when fundamentals matter again, ie earnings season, stable rates, sector rotation. But the best investors know when the environment favors one over the other!
After losing money, I learned to respect volatility. It can make you money fast, but it can take it even faster if you’re careless. I realized that high-volatility setups demand tighter discipline, smaller position sizes, clearer stop levels, and zero emotional trading. Volatility isn’t the enemy; being unprepared for it is. Once I started treating volatile markets with caution instead of excitement, my trading became more controlled, consistent, and far less stressful..
Circle has been plunging, but the story isn’t all bad: the company is still growing fast, USDC circulation is rising, and some major analysts have upgraded the stock, suggesting long-term potential. The drop mainly comes from worries that lower interest rates will shrink its revenue (since Circle earns a lot from yields on USDC reserves), plus concerns about competition and high valuation. So yes, it could rebound if crypto sentiment improves and USDC keeps expanding. but it remains a high-risk, high-reward play that depends heavily on rates and stablecoin adoption.
