#比特币突破7.9万美元
Everyone is asking the same two questions, and I'm answering them with data from my notebook:
1) Should I take profit at $79K?
2) Or should I grow my position for $80K?
Here's my professional answer — both are correct, but for different traders.
Bitcoin hit $79,327 on Wednesday, then pulled back to the $77,300 range. This was the peak of a 13.6% rise in April. On-chain data shows that whales accumulated over $3.17 billion in the two weeks preceding this rise. There was also a net inflow of over $2 billion into Bitcoin ETFs during the same period. And $1.08 billion in short liquidations were triggered above $77,000.
What does this mean? This breakdown was the work of spot accumulation, not leveraged retail trading. That's why I didn't exit completely at $79K; I took profits gradually.
My strategy:
For the profit-taking trader: Realize 20-30% of your position in the $78,800-$79,300 range. Why? Because $79K is a psychological resistance and a pre-Fed uncertainty zone. Taking profits isn't weakness, it's risk management.
For the trader preparing for $80K: Hold the remaining 70-80% spot and only add on a confirmed breakout. My confirmation: Daily close above $79,500 and volume 15% above the average of the last 20 days. I won't add due to FOMO before that happens.
What did I do? Both. At $79,200, I sold 25% of my portfolio, I didn't switch to USDT — I put that money into a delta-neutral funding strategy on Gate. So if the market falls, I have a position that generates returns, not cash. If we see a daily close above $79,500, I'll buy back the amount I sold.
The critical point here is: $79K has been broken, but it hasn't been accepted yet. Acceptance means the price stays above it for 3 days. That's why all the false breakouts in 2024 were so painful.
Conclusion: There's no single right answer at this level. Taking profit is discipline, waiting is faith. I'm blending the two — protecting my profits but not abandoning the trend.
Which side are you on? Getting out of the table at $79K, or pulling up a chair for $80K?
