**Recent Market Review and Trading Recommendations**



Bitcoin and Ethereum have recently fallen into a typical range-bound pattern, with repeated shakeouts becoming the norm. In this kind of market, patience is the biggest test—only participating at key support levels is worthwhile; otherwise, it’s easy to get stopped out repeatedly, which is quite frustrating. The shakeout力度 remains fierce, sometimes lasting half a day, then within just a few minutes, prices fluctuate up and down, making the market look quite unappealing.

From Bitcoin’s perspective, as long as the upper resistance at 94,500 isn’t effectively突破ed, don’t be overly optimistic; as long as the lower support at 90,500 isn’t broken, the rebound isn’t over. There’s still a probability that the market will continue to decline. Therefore, the trading logic is simple: avoid chasing highs and killing lows, steer clear of the ambiguous middle zone. For short positions, consider布局around the 94,000 to 94,500 range, with a stop-loss if the midnight dip reaches 91,200. For long positions, focus on 91,500 and 90,500 levels, and stay cautious in the middle zone—don’t actively give away money.

On Ethereum, entering long positions around 3,210 at midnight is a good point, and those who have already entered should hold according to plan. For those who haven’t entered yet, prioritize a low-buy strategy during the day. Ethereum has not yet tested the 3,440 level (recent high), but Bitcoin has already started to probe higher, indicating Ethereum has room for a rebound. In the short term, focus on low buys around 3,200 to 3,150.

**Essential Reflection on Trading Mindset**

Many people often complain about poor mindset and inability to hold positions. Honestly, the biggest opponent isn’t the market but oneself. It’s important to reconcile with yourself and clarify your purpose for entering the market—not passive defense, but a rhythmical, proactive attack. If your only goal is to minimize risk, then not participating at all is the safest choice.

What are we really trading? Essentially, we are trading risk itself. The market’s规律 isn’t complicated; what’s complicated is human nature. Everyone’s experience, cognition, and insight differ. In other industries, you might be an elite, but in financial markets, that’s not always the case. The root cause of not being able to hold positions often lies in not understanding—not knowing why you hold a certain position. True trading isn’t about staring at your account balance and waiting; it’s about having a deep insight into the规律 of price fluctuations. When the price breaks through support or resistance, adjust your思路 promptly. Falling behind the market rhythm only leads to being beaten.

Instead of exhausting energy studying the market, spend time studying yourself. Learn to反思, making yourself more objective and rational in facing the market you participate in. Geopolitical situations, trade frictions, technical analysis—these are surface factors. The real关键 lies within yourself—understanding your limitations and realizing that trading’s本质 is never passive defense but a well-planned attack after thoughtful consideration.

The shakeout is too fierce; don't send money in the middle position. If you can't hold the position, honestly, it's because you don't have a clear plan. Is it 3210 again? I got trapped last time I heard this price. Try a position at 91,500 to test the waters. That's right, indeed, oneself is the biggest enemy.

Well said, the saying that you are your own biggest enemy is really true.

The middle position is to give money, I am convinced by this statement.

Such fierce shakeouts, in the middle zone, can only be watched passively

It's another day of shakeouts; lying low is the most comfortable way. --- If you can't break through 94500, don't even think about flying. --- There's nothing wrong with having the right mindset; just executing it is extremely difficult. --- Listening to "don't chase, don't kill" sounds simple, but a twitch of the hand and it's all gone. --- How long do I have to wait for Ethereum's recent catch-up? I'm almost falling asleep. --- Studying the market is not as good as studying yourself. I need to forward this to my friends who got stopped out and wiped out. --- Not being able to hold a position really means you don't understand it; sometimes it's also because the account is too small and it hurts. --- I've already suffered losses at 91500; this time I'm watching from the sidelines. --- The trading risk itself? Sounds sophisticated, but in reality, it's still following the trend.

Here comes the shakeout again. Can you hold this time... If you can't hold the position, it means you don't understand it. You've hit a sore spot. If it breaks the level, you need to run. Don't stubbornly hold onto that bit of face. There's something interesting around 91,500. Give it a try. The hardest part is mindset, even more than finding support levels. Buy low around 3200, wait for the catch-up rally, simple. Don't chase highs or bottom fish. Just stick to discipline. Your biggest opponent is yourself. You need to admit it.

Oh my, it's both a shakeout and a cut-loss. I really can't understand this market trend. That's right, it's really just a struggle with oneself. It's very uncomfortable not being able to hold onto positions. The support level at 90500 must be defended, or else we'll have to wait for the next wave. The point at 3210 is indeed good, but unfortunately I didn't hold on to the bottom. The key is to think clearly about what you're doing. Don't enter the market blindly. Bitcoin is currently stuck around the 94000 range. It feels like there will be more turbulence. Ethereum should have room for a rebound, it all depends on whether Bitcoin leads the way. You're absolutely right about the mindset; the market isn't cruel, people's hearts are the cruelest. Did you hold the support at 91200? That's very important. That middle zone should indeed be avoided; it's easy to get repeatedly educated. The biggest enemy of a person is really their own greedy heart. Trying low longs around 3150 to 3200 is definitely worth a shot. Honestly, not being able to hold onto positions is because I didn't understand the logic of the market.

The shakeout is really brutal, I really respect it. The problem of not being able to hold positions is not really a market issue at all. --- That's right, the biggest enemy is yourself. Easy to understand but hard to implement, everyone. --- If you can't break through 94500, don't get excited. If you lack this discipline, what are you playing at? --- Ethereum's potential for a rebound? We'll see. First, wait for Bitcoin to truly stabilize before talking. --- The hardest part is mindset. I'm the kind of person who just can't hold on. It's really tough. --- There's no problem with the logic of positioning around support levels. The key is to be patient and wait. --- Try to avoid the ambiguous zone in the middle. I agree with this—don't actively give away money. --- The essence of trading is trading risk... sounds simple, but actually doing it can be life-threatening. --- That 3210 level is indeed good. Now I regret not copying it.

Well said, but it's easy to get caught up and cut... You need to recognize yourself clearly.

The shakeout is so fierce. If you don't understand, don't force a bottom pick, really. If you can't hold onto your positions, honestly, it means you haven't thought it through, and you'll regret it. It's the same old theory, but the key is execution, brother. Buying the dip at 3210 is indeed attractive, but the psychological barrier is hard to overcome. The human mind is the biggest enemy, there's no doubt about that. Repeatedly getting cut during bottom picking, my mental state is almost exploding. Why do I always end up losing money in the middle? The rhythm is just too poorly managed. Talking about self-cultivation every day is pointless; it's better to just focus on stop-loss and execution. Having a good mindset is great, but account losses are the real culprit. This round of volatility is truly outrageous; being swept multiple times in a single day.
