Let's talk about the trading mindset. From the four-hour K-line chart, this blue zone is a major overall framework, and recently the price has been oscillating within it repeatedly. The middle part of the range (the area marked with a black box) is the dividing line between bulls and bears, and this position is very critical.

If the price continues to consolidate here, it is basically certain to hit a new high later. Conversely, if the range is broken downward, don't hold onto long positions blindly. The price will definitely continue to find support or refresh lows.

The current strategy is to enter long positions on the left side. The market is oscillating around the dividing line, and what we expect next is a new high. The previous upward move can be seen as the main wave of rise, and the current correction and consolidation are just building momentum, waiting for the next breakout. This is the core of the entire entry logic.

The most critical point is risk control—setting a very small stop-loss so that we can achieve the effect of "small stop-loss for big gains," as we often say.

The repeated tug-of-war around the boundary line makes it feel like we need to wait for a breakout to truly determine the direction. I've seen too many cases of dead longs; a small stop-loss is indeed crucial. The logic of consolidation and accumulation sounds good, but I'm worried it might be a false breakout again. Bottom fishing on the left side still carries high risk; the mindset is most tested when the pullback hits new lows. Can we reach a new high? I always feel this round is a bit weak. A small stop-loss assumes you are confident in this judgment; I’m not quite willing to bet on it. The area near the boundary line is a trap; many people stop-loss there. After the main upward wave, there’s usually a long consolidation period. Don’t be too impatient.

The boundary line is really stuck tightly. Your logic is solid; I'm just worried it might be the same old routine of repeatedly scanning for stop-losses.

The boundary line is indeed the key, I'm just worried that the consolidation will suddenly drop halfway through. Let me guess, it's another gamble on whether it breaks or not, right? Small stop-loss for bigger gains sounds great, but the key is to withstand the volatility. Buying at the bottom on the left side tests your mentality the most; I wouldn't dare to play like that. Do you have an idea of the probability of a breakout in the next phase, or is it just luck? I always feel that this kind of accumulation phase is easy to get trapped in; honestly, it feels a bit虚.

The boundary line is indeed interesting, but I still think we should wait for a breakout. I've heard too many times the logic of entering on the left side. If we can't break new highs, we'll be waiting in vain and still have to bear the stop-loss. The word "accumulation" has become so overused that it’s almost worn out, and true reversals always come when you least expect them. Small stop-losses for bigger gains sound great, but executing it is really difficult. Consolidation is just consolidation; insisting on attributing a rise to it is a bit too much. Can this round really break new highs? I'm a bit skeptical.

Don't go long until the breakout is confirmed; I respect this logic. I'm just worried about human nature... It's easy to lose your composure when you're trapped.
