Recently, while drinking tea, I suddenly thought of something.

In tea culture, there is a very particular brewing technique called the Phoenix Three Nods, which involves using the gentle force of the wrist to lift and pour water three times, causing the tea leaves to swirl in the water.
This movement seems simple, but it secretly contains profound etiquette meaning, just like the host bowing three times to the guest to show respect.

The core principle of the Phoenix Three Nods is to gently lift the wrist, keeping the elbow and wrist parallel, so that the wrist remains flexible.
Throughout the process, one should achieve the state where the water sounds three light taps, three thick and thin water lines, and three high and low water flows.
These seemingly subtle changes actually require a high level of control.
The ultimate result is that each cup of tea is perfectly consistent, which is the mark of a true tea brewing master.

Sipping tea, I suddenly thought of Bitcoin’s trend.
Looking at BTC’s recent performance, the current price is around $80,710, with the 360-day annual line’s extreme price range roughly at around $64,000.
Using the logic of the Phoenix Three Nods, the position of a 70% decline would be approximately near $91,500.
One nod is $91,500, two nods are about $75,300, and three nods back to $64,000.

Interestingly, this tea etiquette and market trend have a similar rhythm.
The Phoenix Three Nods emphasize softness and control, not abrupt fluctuations, but rhythmic and purposeful ups and downs three times.
The market is the same—it's not an unruly decline, but a series of logical support levels.

Tea makers say, pour tea to about 70% full, leaving 30% for human sentiment.
This principle also applies to the market.
The Phoenix Three Nods teach us not only brewing skills but also an understanding of rhythm and balance.
Whether it’s tea or the market, ultimately, it all comes back to this gentle yet precise control.
