Last year, when $ASTER was above 2U, the plan for building positions below 1U had already been set.

The logic at that time was:

In a bear market, Perp DEX's trading volume and income will definitely drop,

The price of the coin not only follows the market downturn but will also be further devalued by worsening data.

But once we enter a bull market, the situation is exactly the opposite: volume increases → income rises → narrative holds → price spirals upward.

So in my view, Perp DEX is the standard target for value buying in a bear market.

If the overall direction is correct, what remains is patience and execution.

I also summarized a few increasingly confident conclusions:

1. A truly good target has independent trends; it won't follow the mood of $BTC every day, resisting declines in weak markets and leading gains in strong markets.

2. For medium to long-term bottom fishing, you must plan in advance, and stop analyzing too much on Twitter; many so-called analysts can't even come up with two cents.

3. Since it's about building positions in batches, don't be obsessed with the lowest point;

Good prices and good news are hard to appear simultaneously;

Low costs and large positions are also almost impossible to obtain at the same time.
