Tomorrow is Friday, the stock index delivery date, coupled with the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on the 19th. This week, the market is definitely going to see a big move. ETH and other mainstream cryptocurrencies will experience significant volatility in the coming days, making it easy to get caught in traps on both the long and short sides.



Contract traders are advised to appropriately reduce their position sizes to avoid being wiped out by adverse movements. Markets with dual-direction volatility test risk management skills the most. Instead of frequent trading, it’s better to observe and wait for the right moment.

Spot holders, however, have opportunities. They can place orders at price levels that are usually hard to reach, such as the 2700 mark for Ethereum. Perhaps a quick price spike will trigger a fill. During intense market fluctuations, such extreme prices often present good entry points. Patience is sometimes the best strategy.

Friday settlement + Bank of Japan, this wave of market movement is indeed unpredictable. I still decide to reduce leverage. I'll just set it at 2700 and wait, there will always be opportunities when the price hits the target. Contracts have been too risky these days; frequent trading is just giving away money.

Friday delivery, the Bank of Japan's double blow, this wave of market is indeed dangerous, brothers holding contracts should reduce their positions. I will buy the dip at 2700, I dream about doing this every night. Waiting patiently, if there's a chance I will go in, if not I will lie flat. As soon as the Bank of Japan acts, I knew something was going to happen, this week has been a bloodbath. Spot orders at 2700, then I sleep, maybe I wake up and it's filled, now that's true wisdom. I really haven't dared to touch contracts these days, I got wiped out again yesterday, brothers, I'm socially dead. I've been placing orders at 2700 for three days, just waiting for that spike, it’s a bit unrealistic but I just can't help it. Anyone who trades contracts this week is a fool, I’m telling you.

It's really heartbreaking. Contract leverage these days is truly a money-making mode. I should just obediently reduce my position. Holding spot and placing passive orders is the real way to go. If 2700 can really be reached, it will be a huge profit. The Bank of Japan's meeting that day will definitely be another bloody storm. If you don't understand, just don't make a move.
