The truly profitable people share a common trait—the Zen mindset. Don’t misunderstand, this doesn’t mean lying flat. What I mean is, when you stop viewing overnight riches as a lifeline and instead learn to coexist with volatility, riding through bull and bear markets, the entire game changes.

The market never rewards those who think they are clever. It only rewards those who survive the longest.

Here’s the real watershed: stay calm amidst the frenzy, and maintain restraint in adversity. In doing so, those fluctuations that once scared you can become your unique moat.

So before placing an order, I suggest you do this—rehearse the failure script three times in your mind. Specifically:

- Clarify your stop-loss level
- Determine your maximum loss per trade
- After consecutive stop-losses, how much money do you still have to survive

Sound complicated? But true trading courage doesn’t come from bravado; it comes from a thorough understanding of risk.

**Now, looking at BTC’s technical outlook:**

The current price is at 88,514.9 USDT.

Looking down, the support level is at 87,566.0 (close by), with another support zone between 86,760.0 and 87,833.2.

Looking up, resistance is at 89,355.0.

**Strategy idea**: When near support levels, consider placing buy orders, but if it breaks support, cut losses decisively. Don’t be greedy.

That's so right, this is exactly what I've been doing all along. Last year's market almost wiped me out, and I was terrified and mentally shattered. Only then did I realize that it's really not about being more daring, but purely about mental resilience. Now looking at the 88500 level, it indeed can be considered for a bottom-fishing, but my set stop-loss is firmly at 87400. If it drops further, I will clear everything. The living money must be kept. To be honest, it's not that complicated, it's just a matter of execution. --- Set the stop-loss below 87500 and never waver, that's my rule, no exceptions. This time is different, I’ve learned to be smarter. --- Being Zen is correct, right? I now just watch lying down, and I actually earn more steadily. Those who watch the market every day end up cutting losses. --- If the support at 87566 is not held again, it will just slip away. Don’t think so much—just focus on going long. --- Yes, I’ve already thought through the worst-case scenario, what to do if I lose 50%, how to handle three consecutive stop-losses, I’ve played it all out. This makes me especially calm when placing orders.

That's right, but the real challenge is execution. Many people talk casually, but when their accounts start to dip, they go all-in. With BTC approaching 87,566, I am indeed considering placing an order, but I still need to see if there are other signals to confirm.

No, it's really just those who have been around longer making money, while those who got rich overnight are gone. I'm really struggling with stop-loss; I keep telling myself to stick to discipline, but I still get greedy. I've already placed an order around 88,500; let's see if it can reach 87,566. The concept of living expenses needs to be carefully thought through, or you really won't be able to withstand the volatility. Being Zen doesn't mean being careless; the key is to be clear in your mind about how much you can afford to lose.

The laid-back attitude sounds good, but the real challenge is execution. I thought this way a year ago, but I still got caught and stuck when I bottomed out at 89,000, haha.

The so-called "Buddhist mindset" sounds very right, but few people can truly achieve it, especially when the market takes a downturn.

The laid-back attitude has become so common that it's worn out to hear about it. Basically, it's about living longer; the greedy ones all die off.

The "Zen" mindset and these sayings have been heard countless times, but the key is still to stay alive. Stop-losses are set, but when it reaches the critical point, it's hard to bear to press the button—that's human nature.
