#我的Gate交易时刻

BTC has slowly climbed back above $65,000 over the past few days after falling below $60,000 in early June and touching a low of $59,100. But this kind of “rebound” makes me feel even worse — it can’t go up, but it also won’t fall down; daily volatility is less than 2%, yet the entire network still experiences $343 million in liquidations over 24 hours.

Let me talk about a recent trade I made. Last week, when BTC rebounded to around $67,000, I thought “the bottom is confirmed,” so I opened a 3x long position. But the price couldn’t hold, and it retreated to $65,500. I held on for two days, watching the candlesticks all day — at work, while eating, even waking up in the middle of the night. Finally, I cut at $65,200 — not much loss, but that feeling of being repeatedly tortured by the market is worse than a liquidation.

After reviewing, I realized: I wasn’t defeated by the market; I was defeated by my own hands.

A trader on Gate said it right — “Currently, BTC is in a weak corrective oscillation after a decline. The daily downtrend structure is not repaired, the 4-hour range is converging with consolidation, volatility continues to compress, and it’s very difficult to see a one-sided trend in the short term.” In this environment, frequent trading just means paying platform fees.

I’ve now set some rules for myself:

· When volatility is below 20%, don’t add to positions; only hold existing ones.
· Check the market at most 3 times a day — at open, close, and before sleep.
· Set a strict stop-loss at 3% below the entry price; exit immediately when hit, no hesitation.

To friends who are new to trading: when the market is quiet, doing nothing is more profitable than reckless moves. BTC ETF is still experiencing net outflows, and the fear and greed index is only 21, in “extreme fear” — at such times, patience is much more important than frequently trying to buy the dip.
