BTC has climbed above $74k: The bull market is looking increasingly convincing, but never translate “rising” as “only going up”
After Bitcoin broke above $74k, I’m actually paying more attention to whether a proper pullback will follow.
Does that sound a little strange?
When others are celebrating a rise and practically shouting “to the moon,” I start watching for a pullback. But in trading, a truly healthy rise is never about posting a big bullish candle every day; it involves rising, consolidating, pulling back, and breaking out again, continuously confirming that the market is willing to take on positions at higher prices.
That is also the most important thing to watch after BTC broke above $74k.
The market had been engaged in intense battles around $70k, with bulls and bears trading blows like two people fighting over the last concert ticket. Now that the bulls have finally pushed the price above this key area, it shows that the balance of market power has shifted.
Especially after consecutive breakouts, pressure on the bears will gradually increase. Some bears will exit after hitting their stop-losses, while some trend traders will start chasing the rise, further pushing prices higher. If trading volume and capital flows can move in tandem, this kind of rise can easily create a positive feedback loop in which “the higher it goes, the more people buy.”
But one point must be emphasized here: Once market sentiment switches from fear to greed, risks will accelerate as well.
Many people don’t lose money in bear markets; they lose it by getting too excited and chasing in bull markets.
If BTC holds above $74k and can quickly recover lost ground after a pullback, I will maintain my bullish outlook. Above that, close attention can be paid to selling pressure around $75k and higher levels.
But if BTC quickly falls back below $74k after rising, and then breaks below $70k, the validity of this breakout will need to be reassessed.
My strategy remains: bullish on the trend, moderate position sizes, and no chasing rallies with a fully invested position.
For those who already hold BTC, the most important thing now is not to guess the top every day, but to set their own risk boundaries. For those who have not entered the market yet, there is no need to start trading emotionally just because they see others showing off their gains.
After all, there is a classic rule in the Bitcoin market: You dare not buy when others are panicking, but insist on buying when others are excited—and in the end, the market often specifically teaches the third type of person a lesson.
So $74k is only a new starting point, not an “unlimited upward guarantee.”#币圈人回归原生家庭
