Bitcoin recently approached the 92,500 resistance level again, marking the third attempt to rebound here in recent times. The first two attempts were decisively stopped out, but should we continue to short on the third try? This is a question worth deep reflection.



From a technical perspective, repeatedly testing an important resistance level usually follows this pattern: the success rate of the first two retests is relatively high, around 70-80%, but by the third attempt, the win rate clearly drops to about 60%. The reason is simple—no point will give you unlimited shorting opportunities; it might break through next time. If you want to continue shorting near 92,500, it’s recommended to use only small positions or to use it purely to add to long-term short positions on dips.

A more prudent approach is as follows: place short positions at the higher resistance level of 94,000. At this level, a significant pullback often occurs, allowing for profits of over a thousand points. If you haven't participated in long-term short positions at 94,500 before, you can consider establishing a basic position at 92,500 now, then set buy orders at 94,000 for additional entries. This strategy is to prepare thoroughly for the negative news of no rate cuts at the end of January.

Besides Bitcoin, the MEME coin sector also presents some trading opportunities. The earlier top-take profits and short operations have allowed holders to successfully lock in gains, and the coin price has undergone a substantial correction. Now, these coins are starting to rise again, encountering clear resistance near the previous high of 0.18. You can open short positions with 1x leverage at this level, set stop-loss just above the previous high with a small breakout, and if it breaks out false and falls back, re-enter short positions. These coins often retrace about 30%, with a very favorable risk-reward ratio.

It’s important to note that MEME coins are highly volatile and inherently carry 20x leverage characteristics. Therefore, 1x leverage is effectively equivalent to a 20x risk exposure, which is already sufficient. Never be greedy for higher leverage.

Based on recent trading results, the strategy has been executed quite smoothly. The short plan below the 92,400 resistance yesterday proceeded as scheduled, and profits were successfully realized in the evening; even the "hard nuts" like BCH and ZEC declined as expected and were closed for gains. As long as this rhythm is maintained and opportunities continue to appear, there’s still a chance to repeat such successes.

Do you really want to stay empty for the third time? That's a bit of a gamble.

This is the third time, huh? Do you really dare to short this time? I don't dare anymore... Breaking through is just a game, I'm not gambling this time, let's wait until 94,000. Meme coin at 0.18, it's worth a try, but really don't leverage up, it's too intense. Made a profit again yesterday, this rhythm isn't bad. The resistance level at 95,000 is a bit hot... Wow, three consecutive tests, next time it really needs to go up? A 1x leverage on meme equals twenty times the risk, sounds ridiculous, forget it, not playing anymore. Waiting for the short at 94,000 is safer. This trading idea still has some merit, but for the third time, I really choose to believe in the breakout.

Should we continue with the third short? I think it's risky; the win rate is directly halved.

Third time still empty, isn't that asking for death? Time to change the approach. --- The 9.25K trap has been stepped on twice already. Do they really think the opportunity is endless? --- Let me short hard, the negative news at the end of January hasn't fully played out yet. --- Watching MEME coin with 1x leverage is tiring enough; a 20x leverage with an accelerator is truly insane. --- Just break through if you can, anyway the stop-loss is already set, what are you afraid of? --- Yesterday’s 9.24K wave was really comfortable, just waiting for 9.4K to come again. --- It sounds good, but actually it’s just a few correct bets. Now I’m hooked. --- Is a 30% correction space real? I don’t believe in MEME coin. --- The add-to-position order is hanging there, just waiting to see if it dares to jump over. --- This rhythm can’t last long; the market isn’t that obedient.

Are you really still willing to short on the third time? I think this time it depends on the strength of the break below. Otherwise, wait until 94,000 and then take action more safely. The probability of a breakout is indeed increasing. Trying with a small position is okay, but don't be greedy. The claim that MEME coins with 1x leverage equal 20x is spot on; this is true risk management. Yesterday's move to 92,400 was indeed beautiful, but consecutive wins can lead to complacency, so be cautious. Waiting for the interest rate cut trend at the end of January, it might still be a bit early to act now.

Still empty for the third time? Brother, you're digging your own grave. The breakthrough is right in front of us. Don't be greedy this time. The 95,000 position is getting a bit hot. I prefer to take a break first. But small positions are also okay to try, as long as we can hold the 9.4K level. I'm actually a bit tempted by MEME coins. The fake breakout at 0.18 is too familiar. Let's wait and see. Don't get caught in a trap.
