In cryptocurrency trading, many people believe that as long as they can accurately predict whether BTC will rise or fall, they can earn profits consistently. But reality is often the opposite: some traders are right fairly often, yet their accounts never grow steadily. The problem may not be direction, but position sizing.

Why is position sizing so important?

First, oversized positions can magnify losses. If BTC falls 2%, a trader with a small position may experience only normal volatility, while a trader with a large position and high leverage could suffer severe losses or even face liquida

Why Has Ethereum Continued to Underperform Bitcoin? Is ETH’s Core Competitiveness Weakening?

Over the past while, Ethereum (ETH) has clearly underperformed Bitcoin (BTC). Whether in price performance, investor attention, or market narratives, ETH has faced some pressure. This has led investors to ask: Is Ethereum’s core competitiveness changing?

I believe there are four main reasons why ETH is underperforming BTC.

First, market narratives have shifted. When macroeconomic uncertainty rises, investors are more inclined to view Bitcoin as digital gold and make it a core holding in their crypto

Gotta say, it looks pretty good. Is it really that thrilling?

Last night’s CPI poured another bucket of cold water on risk assets😮‍💨

U.S. CPI rose 0.4% month over month in October, above expectations of 0.3%. Core CPI also came in at 0.3%, likewise exceeding expectations;

Although overall inflation slowed compared with September, core inflation has held at 0.3% for three consecutive months, and inflation remains quite stubborn

The market reaction was also immediate: Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar both strengthened, gold $XAU plunged, while $BTC slid all the way to around $72.7k

What I’m paying more attention to this time is expectations for

Everyone: "Where's the bottom?"
Whoever's waiting at ~$68K: "Take your time."
Next support: ~$68K.
Patience is a position.

ETH breaks below the 2100 make-or-break line! The 2000 level comes under pressure for the first time as weakness accelerates!

After losing the 2100 bull-bear make-or-break line today, Ethereum consolidated weakly. Overnight, it plunged from a high of 2,142, breaking below the key 2,100 support and dipping to around 2,003.6, where it tested the psychological 2,000 level for the first time, before rebounding slightly to around 2,054. It is down approximately 2.7%–3.8% over 24 hours. In contrast, Bitcoin is down just 0.08% today, a relatively modest decline. ETH's losses are significantly deeper

I put together a half-marathon training dashboard. Let’s see how well I stick to the plan over the next two weeks.

Fed’s Michelle Bowman warns: Stocks could face a sharp correction if AI investments fail to deliver expected returns. Big spending. Bigger expectations. Little room for disappointment.

LTC market notes: Spot can enter with the first tranche; keep two tranches for adding

This recent pullback has been grinding. LTC fell from a high of 74.99 to around 50.5, and each rebound has failed to hold. In this market, it’s not about who can predict best, but who can control their hands and stick to discipline.
Daily: Closed at 50.53, a small bearish candle, with a 1.78% range. Price remains below the moving averages, including EMA15 at 53.36, EMA30 at 55.73, and EMA60 at 56.73; the medium-term structure is weak. The Bollinger lower band is at 49.21, with the current price near it. MACD

How Should You Manage Position Size? How Can Scientific Position Sizing Control Risk and Deliver Steady Profits?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people study BTC's price direction every day but rarely seriously consider one question: even if you're right, how much capital should you invest?

In fact, many traders don't lose because they misjudged the direction, but because they mismanaged their position size.

Suppose your trading account has 1000 USDT. If you invest all your funds in every trade, a sudden market move could cause serious losses. Even if the market later moves as you expected,

How should you adjust your trading mindset after a string of losses?
In cryptocurrency trading, a string of losses is when many traders are most likely to lose confidence.
After the first loss, you might think you simply misread the market; after the second, you start doubting your strategy. When losses continue for three, five, or even more trades, some people start rushing to win back what they lost.
And that is often where the real danger begins.
Why can a string of losses trap traders in a vicious cycle?
First, losses affect your judgment. When you are eager to recover what you lost, it is

Last night, I discussed our market outlook after the CPI data came out, briefly explained whether the data was bearish or bullish and how rate hikes affect major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and laid out the full reasoning for everyone. The price action after the CPI release was also broadly in line with our earlier forecast.

The plan I shared last night was to wait for Bitcoin to dip and go long in the 72500–73000 range. After the US session opened, the market hit a low near 72700, and our long position was filled smoothly. The price then gradually stabilized and rebounded, reaching a high
