#我的Gate交易时刻 Just now, BTC directly broke below the key level of $64,000, now at $63,968, down 2.72% in 24 hours. Once the data was released, altcoins saw bloodshed, with spot net selling reaching a six-year low.

I opened a short-term BTC short position around $64,200, with a very simple logic: the Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time, but after Waller took over as chair, the stance clearly turned hawkish, macro outlook is short-term bleak; plus, large investors are concentrating funds into BTC and ETH, and even when altcoins fell 70%, no one was buying the dip, so the probability of a downward breakdown is much higher than a rebound.
I used only 3x leverage when opening the position, keeping the position within 15% of total funds, with a stop loss set at $65,200. If this had been before, I would definitely have gone all-in with 10x leverage, betting on a rebound. But after experiencing a liquidation before, I now prefer to earn less but protect the principal—contract trading, surviving is more important than anything.
This position currently has about 6% unrealized profit, not much, but it’s the result of strictly following my trading discipline. No greed, no fighting against the market, only acting when I understand the trend—this is the lesson I learned by risking real money.
