Looking to short BTC at current levels with my stop loss placed above $92k. Initial targets are in the $90-86.6k range—I'll be trailing this position to see how the price action unfolds as we move lower.

There's a potential bounce scenario near $90k due to the CME gap, which could provide a brief pullback before continuing downside. This is a key level to watch.

If we continue breaking through support without holding, the next major downside target I'm watching is the $80k level. That would represent a significant move if we get there, so position sizing and risk management become even more critical.

The setup hinges on support levels holding or failing. Stay disciplined on your stops and manage risk accordingly.

That 90k CME gap definitely needs to be watched, but can our short position hold until 80k... Honestly, it's a bit uncertain. --- Stop loss above 92k? Bro, the risk is still a bit high. --- Support holds, then rebound; if it breaks, then drop further. Isn't that just gambling on luck? --- How exactly is 86.6k calculated? Feels a bit arbitrary. --- If 80k really comes, it'll blow up. Don't waste time. --- I trust your discipline; most people can't hold this stop loss. --- I've never believed in that CME gap; if there's a rebound, just rebound, don't talk about that. --- Position sizing is correct, but execution still easily leads to overleverage. --- Shorts with a stop loss at 92k are a bit tight, brother. A little backlash and you're out.

92k stop-loss is set a bit tight, a single surge and it will directly liquidate... However, the target at 86.6k is quite impressive, while 80k is probably a dream level.

92k stop loss is a bit tight, be really careful around the CME gap... see you at 86k --- Is this short position betting on the support holding? Feels like 80k is still too far away --- Poor position sizing could really cause a crash, risk management sounds easy but is hard to implement --- Another support level and CME gap, can it drop to 86 in this round? --- Damn, the 90k rebound really needs to be guarded against, don't get shaken out --- That 80k target looks uncertain, but it's definitely worth paying attention to

A 92k stop loss is a bit tight. Will it really drop to 80k this time? I'm not so sure. Be careful with the CME gap.

If Bitcoin drops to 80,000 yuan... Hey, I need to check if I still have any bullets left in my wallet.

诶呀 92k 设止损有点紧吧，反弹空间够吗... 这哥们86k就想抄底？我觉得80k才是真的底 CME缺口这块儿确实要盯，不过我还是倾向于继续往下砸位置管理太重要了，一个回调就能翻车

A 92k stop loss is a bit tight. If it rebounds after this drop, it could be a big loss.

86.6k is indeed a significant level, but I still think the 90k CME gap is more dangerous... A pullback and then a continued drop? Feels highly probable. If it directly drops to 80k, that would really be a major event, but this guy's stop-loss setup is quite strict.

Playing it safe with a 92k stop-loss, just worried about missing the 86 level.
