Since the start of 2026, the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum can be summarized with one word—steady. There have been no earth-shattering surges or crashes; the most notable rally was from 87,500 straight to 94,700, but the entire process was quite restrained, following a gradual upward pace, then a natural correction. Currently, they are oscillating around the 90,000 level.

Let's review the strategic approach of this market movement: establishing a long position around 87,500 on January 1st, and chasing longs in the 2,960 range. When prices reached the 94,000-94,500 zone, profits were taken in stages. Finally, after seeing consolidation near 90,000—this approach perfectly aligned from entry to exit. Honestly, daily fluctuations aren't large, and it's inevitable that some stop-loss orders get swept out along the way, but as long as you can get on board in time, you can generally recover the profits.

The key principle is to use small defensive positions to gain opportunities for larger gains; fundamental risk management always comes first. An important realization here is—trading is essentially a process, not a result that must be decided with a single decisive move. This kind of skill isn't developed overnight; market ups and downs are normal, and what truly matters is your mindset when facing volatility. Trading is no different from everyday life—both require time to accumulate experience and upgrade understanding. Greed and fear are present in everyone; the key is when they trigger—this is what separates experts from novices.
