why must it be so hard to make money on the stock market, I don't even care about becoming rich, I just want to make a median salary

I'm scared. This looks a lot like the failed breakout in the beginning of June last year, which resulted in an absolutely miserable summer. Only this time, the alts are already where they were near the bottom of last year's downtrend, so they're going to be completely demolished this time. Some might never recover.
