# Everything crashed when I woke up. It's rare to see such a drop during the session and then continue

Everything crashed when I woke up. It's rare to see such a drop during the session and then continue falling after hours.

If we really let the narrative follow the stock price, it's because the market sees the newly appointed Fed chair as hawkish + several major earnings reports recently failed to meet market expectations, so the market has lost confidence.

My own plan is not to blindly bottom-fish, but to hold cash and wait for confirmation of a reversal before entering. Don't keep adding leverage as it falls—it's easy to get stuck halfway up the mountain. So patience is key.

Small-cap stocks, like $Rocket Lab(RKLB.US), could easily drop another 15%-20%. Larger-cap stocks will fare better.

Hope everyone can protect their profits!
