1.26 BCT Evening Trading Strategy

This will be a watchful session. A friend sent a message: "Just passed by the repair shop I used to go to often, saw the master convincing a newbie. The car only had a blown bulb, but he insisted the wiring was aging and needed a full vehicle inspection."

I glanced at BTC's trend at 88,000 and suddenly understood.

This market now is exactly like that repair shop.

1. The main force is giving you a "free checkup"
Price is stuck around 88,000, neither rising nor falling, like the master circling your car: "Look, it's loose here, and there's noise over there."

Actually, he's doing two things:
Repeatedly testing the 87,500-88,500 range, making you think "it won't move downward";
Occasionally giving a small bounce, creating the illusion of "being fixed."

When you think "the master is responsible, the problem isn't big," that's when he hands you the bill.

2. The real "scam" hasn't started yet

The harshest thing about the repair shop isn't the high quote, but dismantling your car and then telling you: "Parts need to be ordered, can't leave tonight."

The market is the same
Now, sideways movement is dismantling your psychological defenses:
Making you adapt to this tense feeling of "not falling but not rising";
Gradually building your expectation for a rebound.

When your long positions enter (equivalent to the car being disassembled into parts), he will say: "The trend is bad, continue to fall."

That large-volume breakdown below 86,100 with a big bearish candle is like a sky-high repair bill.

How should we respond to $BTC ?
Strategy: Shorting at high
Ambush zone: 88,500 (pre-set replenishment at 88,900-89,500)
Life and death line: 90,388
Target line: 87,200 → Break below 86,500 → 85,700

Finally, my friend added: "That master’s toolbox probably doesn’t even have a new bulb."

I closed the chat window and took a sip of water.

This market repair shop is filled with psychology tools.
Remember: as long as the car can still run, don’t let anyone dismantle the parts easily.
