Chasing the Nikkei Dip

My mistake was trying to catch every dip on the Nikkei 225 last month, especially when it was showing clear signs of retracement after a strong run. I kept averaging down, only to see it continue lower, essentially tying up capital and magnifying the paper loss without a clear reversal signal. It became a lesson in respecting the trend and not pre-empting the market's direction based on historical support levels alone, particularly in an environment with shifting global sentiment. Should have waited for confirmation.
