Last night's market movements can be described as a mixed bag—some are happy, others are worried. The short positions at 89500 and 90500 for Bitcoin were directly stopped out, and the shorts I currently hold are also trapped. The second short at 3100 for Ethereum is the same. The defensive lines are set around 92300 and 3230. Tonight, I’ve decided to rest and not stay up late to drain my energy.

During this period, the market has been swinging on the edge of life and death. A sudden wave of intense volatility might actually be a good thing—it's time to break the deadlock. If it doesn’t rise, it will fall. Every day, either the bears are overwhelmed or the bulls are in despair. The daily profit fluctuations from trading are quite normal. Friends who go all-in right away are only suited to enter during this midday period.

Don’t rush to declare the bull market reborn after a rebound. Of course, I say this not because my shorts are trapped and I’m bearish on the future—such logic doesn’t hold water. Friends who are currently without positions, now is definitely not a good time to chase the rally. Recently, the market has been a typical cycle of pump and dump. You need to control your impulses to chase and sell. Missing out on long positions during the day is okay; there’s no need to rush to catch up.

For those trapped in shorts, set your stop-loss properly, and then it’s just a matter of waiting for time to resolve it. It’s better to avoid adding to your positions.

Oh no, we've been hit again. This market is really crazy. --- Friends who went all-in with full positions are probably crying now, haha. --- I agree not to add more positions. This rhythm is too surreal. --- Can 92300 really hold? It feels like it's going to drop further. --- Taking a break is the right move. Staying up all night is just asking for trouble. --- This rebound is just a trap to lure buyers in. Be aware. --- If your short positions are trapped, just leave them. Anyway, they can't run away. --- Midday is indeed the only good entry window; other times are poison. --- Tired of the cycle of pushing up and then crashing down. When will there be some new tricks? --- Mine was also pushed back below 92. So annoying.

Short positions are once again trapped, this crazy market really is torturous. But to be fair, these fluctuations were indeed expected. We can't keep swinging on the brink of life and death forever. Friends who went all-in at noon are probably not laughing now. The bearish outlook isn't because of being trapped; the logic doesn't hold up. It's just that the cycle of pushing prices up and then crashing should come to an end. Set your stop-losses properly, and adding to positions? If you can tolerate it, then do it.

The market is so volatile, short positions are being crushed, making me doubt life Stop-loss, stop-loss, and still need to keep stopping losses. When will I make money Friends who went all-in at noon, why haven't they been liquidated yet? I'm impressed Don't really believe in a bull market from this rebound, it will continue to crash tomorrow

It's that same pattern of pushing up and then crashing. Watching the short positions get trapped is really frustrating... But taking a rest for a night is also good; staying up late is the biggest loss.

If you don't stick to your stop-loss, you have to accept it. This wave of market行情确实难顶, but don't think that just because your short positions are trapped, the rest is all a trap. Breaking through is always this painful.

Ha, being trapped is just being trapped, anyway, this is how we've been through it all. --- Don't chase the rally, you still need to hold back on this, no matter how crazy it gets, wait and see. --- Bro who went all-in, take it easy during lunchtime. --- Don't rush, waiting for the breakthrough, what's the point of messing around. --- Set your stop-loss properly, the rest is up to time. --- This rebound doesn't mean much, stay calm and cool. --- Pulling up and down every day, I've become numb to it. --- I'm not bearish because I lost money, the logic really doesn't hold. --- Getting a bit sleepy, might as well wash up and sleep tonight, not worth it. --- Teetering on the edge of life and death, a breakthrough has to happen eventually. --- Adding to the position? Forget it, brother, it's too risky.

All stopped out yet still insisting it's not because of short positions being trapped, the market is so volatile it's truly incredible.
