Last night, the account numbers were jumping wildly, earning 300,000 in one go. That moment was truly exciting, I didn’t sleep the whole night. Today I’ve calmed down a bit and want to share with everyone some of my most honest thoughts after this crazy profit frenzy.



To be honest, this wave of market movement is all about playing the rhythm. BTC stabilized around 89,500-90,000, but started to falter at 93,000-94,000. Many traders are just buying low and selling high, flipping back and forth. However, I’m increasingly losing confidence in "holding long positions"—that key support at 88,500 looks dangerously shaky. If that line breaks, it could mark the start of a new wave of C-wave decline. I really don’t want to see that scenario.

So I’ve adjusted my strategy. I’m abandoning the dual-direction approach of trying to catch every move, and now I’m focusing on shorting rebounds. More aggressive traders might open small shorts around 91,500-92,000, with most positions near 94,000. ETH follows the same pattern, with continuous shorts around 3400 and 3250, each time hitting the stage top. Once you get the rhythm, making money really becomes quite fast.

But here’s the problem: can I really sleep soundly with the profits earned from this "high short, low long" strategy?

Watching the numbers in my account climb rapidly, I get excited and can’t sleep. But at the same time, another voice asks me: what if next time, the market doesn’t rebound to 94,000, but instead crashes through 88,500? How much of my accumulated profits can I really preserve? If the US stock market crashes hard, can the crypto world really stay safe? Playing on the edge day after day, can I keep doing this game forever?

These questions make me start to reassess my asset allocation. Catching swing opportunities is necessary, no doubt. But the problem is, my account is now all "offense," almost no "defense." This imbalance carries significant risk.

So I’ve decided to take some profits out and start building a real risk buffer.

You made 300,000 and are still hesitating there. I just want to ask: when will you be willing to lock in profits?
