# Current U.S. stock market volatility has significantly increased, with the Nasdaq leading the declin

Current U.S. stock market volatility has significantly increased, with the Nasdaq leading the decline. Selling pressure on leveraged ETFs and tightening liquidity have intensified the fluctuations, and there remains a short-term inertia for further pullbacks.

Whether to reduce positions depends on your portfolio and investment style: For high-valuation tech stocks, fully invested/leveraged positions, or low risk tolerance, it's advisable to cut 10%-30% on a rebound, shifting towards value stocks and cash. For high-quality blue chips, long-term allocations, or those with sufficient cash flow, you can hold steady, set stop-losses for drawdowns, and optimize the structure rather than liquidate entirely.

The core principle: Control risk first, then talk about returns. Don't chase rallies or panic sell.
