The recent market fluctuations have indeed been quite intense. Bitcoin has dropped from 94,500 all the way down, smashing over 5,000 points in a short period, now touching the 90,000 level. To be honest, this level has some support, and many friends with short positions might consider reducing their holdings first. As for the rebound, I am also contemplating whether to try a reverse operation. After all, there have been too many lessons from chasing highs and getting trapped. Waiting until near support to act is the hard rule.

ZEC's performance has been quite miserable. Its previously strong momentum has now fallen into a complete collapse, dropping to around 400. From a technical perspective, there is some support here, but honestly, no one dares to bet on how much it will rebound. If you have short positions, consider taking partial profits gradually, keep some positions to watch, and if it rebounds, adding more shorts is not too late.

Next is WLFI. This coin's price movements are not very obvious, but its positive news period will end on January 24th. After this date, the positive news will be fully realized, which usually marks the beginning of a top. I plan to gradually build short positions on it over the next week whenever the price surges, using long-term 1x contracts. No rush, as we hold the advantage. When the positive news is exhausted, the ZEC story might play out again.

The overall strategy is: continue holding the long-term shorts, planning to hold until the January 27th interest rate meeting, when the expectation of no rate cut will become a new negative factor. In the short term, you can flexibly reduce positions, especially during rebounds, but don’t be fooled by market noise. Stick to the plan, and you’ll be the last to laugh.

Are you trying to bottom out at the 90,000 level? Wake up, this wave isn't over yet. ZEC really dragged down the market; the more hype there was before, the sharper the fall. It's hilarious. I understand the rhythm of WLFI now; when the positive news expires, it's the start of a pump-and-dump scheme. Don't short before January 27; just bet on no rate cuts. Those who chase highs and get caught should reflect on their strategy. It's too late to do anything until support is confirmed.

94,500 to 90,000, this drop really proves that it's worth paying attention to the market. The support level is here, and we still need to respect it. --- ZEC falling from heaven to hell is truly incredible. The people daring to buy at 400 are really brave. --- When the good news is finally realized, WLFI might also learn from ZEC. The long-term short positions are now secure. --- Don't be fooled by the rebound. Persisting in reducing positions is the right thing to do. There's too much market noise. --- The January 27th interest rate meeting is the real big event. All plans are now revolving around it. --- Honestly, taking profits in stages was a wise move. Don't go all-in at once; it’s easy to get bitten back. --- Dropping from 94,500 to 90,000 in this market, not many can stay calm and analyze rationally. Truly clear-headed. --- The pattern of hitting the top after good news has long been verified many times. This time, WLFI is no exception. --- Holding long-term short positions until the interest rate meeting sounds simple, but it really requires strong willpower to do so. --- Seeing ZEC in such a mess is heartbreaking. Now, no one can predict where its rebound potential lies.

A support of 90,000 definitely has some imagination, but I'm more afraid of a false break and then breaking through, leading to another short squeeze... ZEC is already so rotten, how brave must someone be to bet on a rebound? I quite agree with the logic of WLFI; realizing good news is a top signal, but I'm worried there might be a black swan rescue again. Not cutting interest rates on January 27th indeed has some impact, but could it be another paper tiger? We'll see. Sticking to the plan sounds simple, but how many people will cut losses and give up midway when executing? Breaking below 90,000 is a strong signal, or should we continue to hold? I really can't be sure. For ZEC's decline, I wish I had gone all-in short earlier, but unfortunately, it's always hindsight. A small profit on a rebound is fine, but I'm worried the rebound won't come, and waiting in vain. When all good news is exhausted, it will probably get lively; many will suffer losses. This wave of market movement is a bit strange—rebounds are not crazy, and drops are not thorough, as if gathering strength.

The 90,000 mark is really what everyone is waiting for. I'm also considering whether to try a counterattack, just worried about getting smashed back down again haha. ZEC's decline is also too brutal. It was just bouncing around before, and now it's crashing directly. The WLFI positive news deadline is the 24th, so it might indeed be a peak, and the story could repeat itself then. Not cutting interest rates is the real killer. Around the 27th, there will probably be more turbulence.

It's really not good to gamble on the 90,000 level; those who chased high earlier are still eating dirt. --- ZEC has indeed been hammered hard this round. Should we buy the dip around 400 or wait and see? --- The positive news was gone by January 24th. That's when WLFI's show really begins, it's a bit interesting. --- Don't be fooled by the rebound. Support is support; if there's a rebound, just come out. No need to be so serious. --- The January 27th interest rate decision—this wave of short positions will be the real test moment. --- Reduce positions, reduce positions. Run at the first sign of a rebound. This trick really keeps you alive until the end. --- What are those who chased high and got trapped thinking? Haven't they learned to wait for support yet? --- ZEC went from strong to a complete mess. That's just how the crypto world is—freebie. --- The WLFI operation is a bit interesting. Long-term shorts wait for positive news to be realized. --- Dropping from 94,500 to 90,000—it's really outrageous in such a short time.

This wave of decline is indeed fast. Can 90,000 really hold up here? It's a bit uncertain... --- ZEC has gone from a hero to a ghost. No one dares to bet on its rebound magnitude. I'm also a bit panicked. --- I see through the WLFI strategy now. The good news countdown is over, and it's just a death trap. --- Making a move to close positions at the rebound is a good tactic. I'm just worried that I might panic and chase the high again... --- Support levels are just that—support or not, no one can be sure. --- Holding long-term shorts and waiting for the interest rate decision requires a lot of courage. I really can't withstand this kind of torment. --- Replaying the ZEC story again? Bro, you're gambling with your life. Does WLFI really dare to operate like this? --- The suggestion to take profits in batches sounds safe, but it also feels like it could be slapped in the face by a rebound. --- From 9.45 to 90,000, this price difference is gone. Those who chased the high will be crying.

According to the database, this guy is once again playing around with the positive news expiration date near January 24th. How many trading days have passed since the last similar "time window theory"? It is recommended to include this in the Guinness World Records. The story of WLFI sounds good, but I just have a feeling that this "positive news peak theory" script looks a bit familiar to us...

90,000 is really an interesting level, but I still think I'll wait before going in. I'm afraid of getting trapped. ZEC has crashed to a dog, who dares to take this position? I agree with the logic of WLFI. When the positive news expires, it should top out, so short positions should be taken. Not cutting interest rates on January 27th is the real negative news; continue holding long-term.

90,000 is really a tough position to gamble on. I'm still waiting, the shadow of being trapped hasn't faded yet. ZEC directly broke through my psychological price level. Why is it falling so aggressively? I've seen this WLFI pattern too many times. When the positive news expires, it's a death countdown. Still the same advice: there's no need to rush. Gradually building short positions is the way to go. If the meeting on January 27th really doesn't cut interest rates, the entire market might go through a shakeout.
