Don't Try to Nail the Bottom
Waiting for the exact lowest price before buying back in sounds smart, but nobody can reliably identify a bottom until well after it's passed. Easing back in with smaller, regular purchases over time smooths out your entry price and removes the pressure of getting one single decision perfectly right.
Stablecoins as a Landing Pad
Parking funds in a stablecoin first, rather than jumping straight back into volatile assets, gives you a temporary base to work from — no price exposure while you get comfortable again, with the flexibility to move back into the assets you actually want once you're ready.
Check the Fundamentals Haven't Changed
Before buying back into something you held before, it's worth re-checking why you held it in the first place — real use case, active development, a healthy treasury. Re-entering out of habit rather than genuine conviction is how people end up back in a position they didn't actually mean to rebuild.
Coming back into the market doesn't need to be all-or-nothing. Market Re-Entry walks through exactly how to do it at a pace that actually feels steady.
