The market has indeed been unusual this week. Tonight at 21:30, the US CPI data will be released, and at the same time, the Bank of Japan will announce the results after the meeting on the 18th-19th. The probability of a rate hike has exceeded 80%, and the impact of these two major events should not be underestimated.
From a technical perspective, such major economic data often trigger intense market volatility, and a scenario of both long and short positions being wiped out is highly likely. In this kind of market condition, blind trading often leads to pitfalls.
For spot holders, the advice is simple—stay on the sidelines; there's no need to buy back the dip within this time window. For contract traders, shorting on rallies might be a relatively safer approach, as the upward movement itself could present an opportunity to reduce positions.
Overall, the key in the next couple of days is to control risk, prepare stop-loss plans, and avoid letting sudden fluctuations disrupt the overall rhythm.

Oh no, another long and short squeeze. I think I'll just stay out of it.

Wait, are we about to double kill again? I just don't believe that big data releases can predict accurately every time... Last time I fell for this and got trapped twice. This time, I'll just stay honest and lay low.

Oh no, it's that moment again where we have to risk it all... CPI and the Bank of Japan are both making moves, and hail is coming to the garden. My advice? Stay safely on the sidelines and let the bulls and bears fight it out. Let's just be a safe spectator, and make sure our stop-loss plan is in place.
