Last night, I seized a rebound opportunity for ETH during the oscillating trend, precisely positioning a small short at around 2999, and ultimately successfully took profit.
The key points of this operation are:
First is trend judgment. ETH showed clear short-term correction signals, combined with the market volatility at the time, making the risk-reward ratio quite favorable for shorting. However, I didn't be greedy and adhered to the principle of small positions — this is the foundation for surviving in a ranging market.
Second is the flexibility of taking profits. Many people tend to fall into a misconception: either holding on stubbornly or exiting too early. This time, I adjusted the take-profit point in advance before any rebound signs appeared, capturing the downward gains while avoiding the risk of being caught by a rebound.
Honestly, the most testing aspect of a ranging market is mindset and discipline. When the overall trend is unclear, it's better to wait for clearer setup opportunities rather than trade frequently. I will continue to observe, stay patient, and wait for a more promising entry signal.

I agree with small positions, but is that order at 2999 really accurate? Or is it just a coincidence in hindsight?

Small positions are really the money for survival. If I had been greedy during this bottom-fishing wave, I would have been liquidated early.

Small positions are really a lifesaver; otherwise, I would have been wiped out by the rebound long ago.

Small position take-profit is indeed a way to survive; greed can easily backfire.

Small position take-profit is indeed more stable, much smarter than those who go all-in with full positions.

I make about 50U a day, little arguments here and there.

Haha, I’m familiar with the small position take-profit trick. You’ve got to stay alive to see the big cake fly to the sky three years from now.

2999 precise take profit, this dip-buying skill is indeed solid, just feel sorry for the retail investors who didn't catch the dip.
