Totally agree. Retraces are somewhat self-fulfilling prophecies, no? People sell down to capitalise and take advantage of the 'impending' retrace, into which the selling volumes feeds and supports the retrace itself.

It all comes down to trying to predict the turning point, both ways. Balls of steel belong to those that can do it, but there shouldn't be any downside in the long-term to simply buying + holding throughout the entire period. Especially more so, seeing as we're now in a time of company-making milestones and a bullish lithium market.

Step 1: Buy
Step 2: Hold
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

(not financial advice lol)
