Yesterday's market outlook roughly followed expectations—BTC oscillated around 91,000, then moved towards 95,000. The first half of the script played out perfectly, but when it touched the resistance level at 94,700, the market played a surprise move. It didn't leave room for me to add positions on the pullback but instead launched a long-awaited volume spike, pushing aggressively to 96,800. The short position I placed near 94,700 before sleep was finally stopped out with a 600-point loss.
Honestly, I don't regret this stop-loss. Because this strong breakout candle, surpassing the two-month consolidation range, clearly announced the return of the bulls. When the market breaks the balance with such "irrational" strength, the smartest move is to respect the trend and not fight the market. Now, 94,500-94,700 has shifted from strong resistance to new support. As long as the pullback doesn't break this level, it's an entry opportunity for longs. The next target is 98,000.
In the context of institutional funds re-entering and market structure being optimized after the year-end options clearing, this upward logic becomes even more valid. But this is also a reality—pursuing market gains is stimulating, but the volatility of the crypto market also brings proportional risks.
The real question worth pondering is: how to profit from the trend's wave while preparing a set of "ballast stones" that can generate stable cash flow in both bull and bear markets? This is not just hedging but maximizing asset efficiency through wisdom. When part of your assets automatically generate interest within a safe mechanism, you can face any market volatility more calmly, even extracting additional gains from the fluctuations. This is the true essence of long-term asset management.

Stop-loss of 600 points and still comforting myself, I really give up. The market doesn't play by the rules, so you have to make sense of it.

Cut losses and exit at 600 points; this mindset is impeccable, really worth learning from.

A 600-point stop-loss is nothing; later doubling up will just break even.

Damn, I got wiped out by the market again. Paying 600 points for tuition was quick.

What does a 600-point stop loss mean? The key is that you weren't forced out; as long as you're alive, there's a chance.

A 600-point stop-loss was hit. Bro, do you feel at ease sleeping now? I'm just wondering, why insist on fighting that single bullish candle? The trend is right there, just respect it and that's it.

A 600-point stop-loss is nothing; if you want to respect the trend, you should respect it. It's much smarter than those who stubbornly hold on.
But to be honest, I'm the type who gets caught chasing highs and gets hammered. Listening to things like ballast stones just annoys me.
If can't hold @E5@, then let's say goodbye. I'll just see how high it can go.
This wave is indeed fierce; there's no gentle pullback, only the fierce momentum of breaking through.
It's called asset management in a nice way, but actually it's just fear of losing... I admit I can't stay so calm.
