At the early morning point on May 12, 2026, the market is in a high-volatility triangle convergence, choosing a direction. This week has many news factors, and the long-term strategy remains to short. During the day, if prices rise, bet on short positions.
Short Bitcoin, stop loss around 81,990 with 500, take profit at 800. Or target 1,000 points or bet on a decline, and when sleeping, set a stop loss at 82,600 with 500, take profit at 1,000.
If stopped out while sleeping, go to 83,350 to recover the stop loss and then exit.
Long Bitcoin, place an order at 80,800 with a 300 stop loss and 800 take profit. Or open a small position at 80,000 when it dips to 80,800. If hit, go to 79,240 to recover the stop loss.
Ethereum swing trading at 2,355. Sleep with an order at 2,365, 10 stop loss, 20 take profit. If hit, go to 2,386 to recover the stop loss and reduce long holdings.
Ethereum day trading at 2,320 and 2,310 to catch rebounds. Place an order at 2,382 with a 10 stop loss and 20 take profit.
