Current Recommendation: Slightly Bullish, Light Position (≤3% of portfolio, 100x leverage very high risk, recommended to reduce to 20-50x for intraday trading)
Risk Warning and Invalidations
With 100x leverage, a 0.5% move can trigger liquidation; strictly adhere to stop loss; if 15m/1H drops below 96,000 with increased volume, bullish plan invalidates, switch to short observation; conversely, a break above 97,500 and stabilization can add to long positions. Watch for liquidity changes in the evening.
