When trading, it’s crucial to see through the trend structure and the broader backdrop. The depth of a pullback often determines the reference for your holding period. When the broader trend itself isn’t clear enough, short-term trades taken against the trend must not be driven by greed for the “pattern.” Following the trend is the best trading habit.

For example, using the 15-minute chart of the “big cake” (15-minute timeframe), this round of pullback has already exceeded 75%. It has even directly bounced back to the breakout point of the previous upswing, meaning the trend structure is clearly no longer a simple BMS (Breakout–Retest–Continuation) pattern. This implies that, in the short term, if you want to return to the previous high extreme point, you must trade time for space. Therefore, as a short-term trader, you should not be overly fixated on the setup right now. Long positions can be shifted down to key support levels in lower structures, and you should patiently wait for a more reliable entry opportunity. $BTC #我的Gate交易时刻
