Just now, Bitcoin directly broke below the key level of $64,000, now trading at $63,968, down 2.72% in 24 hours. Once the data was released, altcoins saw bloodshed, with spot net selling reaching the lowest in six years.

I opened a short position on BTC near $64,200, with a simple logic: the Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time, but after Waller took over as chair, the stance has 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 break is much higher than a rebound.
I used only 3x leverage when opening the position, controlling the total position within 15% of my 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, staying alive 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—these are lessons I’ve learned with real money.
