From the four-hour breakout pattern of BTCUSD, there are two trading strategies for this wave, and the key is to choose based on your risk tolerance.

**For a more aggressive approach**, watch how BTC stabilizes around 91,000. If it stays above this level for several hours with significantly increased volume, you can consider opening a position. Set a stop-loss at 88,270 and avoid being soft-hearted or resisting the decline. During the upward move, reduce your position in batches at 95,500, and if it reaches 98,000, close all remaining positions.

**For a more conservative approach**, wait for a pullback opportunity. Wait until it drops back into the 90,500 to 91,000 range and stops declining (for example, a small bullish candle confirming a bottom), then consider entering. Place the stop-loss at 90,000 for tighter risk control. The target remains at 95,500 for profit-taking, but with a small trick: once you gain 10%, move your stop-loss to your entry price to lock in profits and prevent previous gains from turning into losses.

The core difference between these two strategies is really about mindset and patience—aggressive traders may get in faster but with more psychological pressure; conservative traders wait a bit longer but feel more secure when entering.

I am a hot-tempered person, going all-in at 91,000 without fear of losing. --- I’ve learned the conservative stop-loss and profit-locking techniques. Steady entry and exit are the real way to succeed. --- 98,000? Dream on. Exit immediately at 95,500. --- It's the same old tactics with two different strategies; ultimately, it still depends on luck. --- Stop-loss at 88,270 is a bit tight; it’s easy to get knocked out. --- Taking a 10% profit and then setting a stop-loss is a brilliant move to prevent profit reversal. --- The aggressive traders have a real psychological burden. I regretted going all-in at 88,000 last time. --- Waiting for a pullback, but I missed the entire market rally. Being more proactive is better. --- I’ve never understood the signal of a small bullish candlestick confirming the bottom. --- 95,500 is the first target. Reaching 98,000 already makes me very happy.

I think this wave of analysis is somewhat interesting, but when it comes to actual trading, it's easy to get soft. Wait, can we really just go ahead once 91,000 is stabilized? Feels like every breakout is a trap. The conservative plan is indeed safer, but waiting is the hardest part. I'm the type of person who wants to run after making 10%, I can't wait for 98,000. Honestly, reading the charts and actually investing money are two different things. Anyway, I still prefer a steady approach; I don't want to get cut again.

I'll wait for a pullback; I don't feel confident about the 91,000 level.

Wait, can the radicals really build good mental resilience? I think most people say they will tough it out and hold the stop-loss, but in the end, they still get soft.

I still prefer to wait patiently, wait for the pullback to buy again, and keep a relaxed mindset.

Reaching the 91,000 level is indeed quite tough, but there's no rush. --- Setting the stop loss at 88,270 is a bit risky; mental resilience needs to be strong enough. --- It still depends on volume; breakouts without volume are all fake. --- A conservative plan that is steady is safe, but I'm worried about a sudden surge. --- I love the move of moving the stop loss by 10%; finally, no more making money until I feel sick. --- Two trading strategies sound simple, but in practice, it's easy to get flustered. --- The target of 95,500 might be a bit optimistic; the historical resistance is right there. --- Positioning between 90,500 and 91,000 is definitely more comfortable than directly aiming for 91,000. --- The only worry is if it dips below 90,000 during a pullback—that would be awkward. --- Impulsive traders really face a lot of psychological pressure; I suggest playing it more conservatively.
