It's over, bitcoin:native is about to break 81k, isn't it?
Wasn't it supposed to be a waterfall? Why is it still rising?
Should I cut my short positions now?
Yesterday, Iran's two missiles didn't hit any military targets but instead created a smoke screen to lure short sellers into betting.
Today, not only did it not continue to fall, but it also pushed through 81K, even aiming for 85K.
I already pointed out in the group yesterday that this rally doesn't seem to be over yet, with a precise target of 81K.
It might continue to fluctuate upward later.
The most important thing for short sellers isn't to be stubborn, but to survive first.
My current strategy is to gamble big with small capital, leverage as much as possible, but keep the principal small—only light positions can be entered.
If you've been bearish before, now you must stay calm.
The most important thing at this level isn't to be stubborn, but to protect your life first.
First, don't add to your short positions.
81,000 is a critical point for short-term strength or weakness; as long as BTC stays above 80k, the bears are on the defensive.
Short positions are not forbidden, but don't keep holding after a strong breakout.
If it falls back below 80k, see if it's a false breakout.
If 78,000–78,200 isn't broken, don't expect an immediate waterfall.
A real bear attack must first break below this zone.
Second, don't chase long positions.
After breaking through 81,000, a pullback to test higher levels is most likely.
Chasing at the top now carries high risk.
The most comfortable position is to wait for a pullback to 80k–80,300 without breaking, then consider buying the dip.
A volume breakout above 81,000–81,500 signals continued strength.
If it falls below 78,200, the short-term bullish logic fails.
In one sentence:
Bullish above 80k, support below 78,200.
Third, hold your spot BTC.
Currently, funds are clearly favoring the leading coin.
Until BTC stabilizes above 80k, don't panic-sell altcoins just because they haven't risen.
As long as BTC stays above 80k, altcoins have a chance for a rebound.
If BTC drops below 78,000, altcoin risk increases significantly.
Finally, remember these four key levels:
Above 81,000, continue to be bullish.
Between 78,200 and 81,000, expect consolidation and shakeouts.
Below 78,200, beware of false breakouts.
Trend bottom line: 74,300–76,000.
