Market fluctuations have such limited space; since last year until now, it has been oscillating within this range. Instead of being led around by the ups and downs of the market, it's better to first clarify your own trading logic.



A simple and straightforward strategy is actually just that—white line position is the key dividing line. If above, go short; if below, go long. Use small positions to avoid being casually swept up by the big players. Many people ask why they can't make money; frankly, it's still about poor position management. Not participating in small trends, and not daring to trade in big trends—this kind of dilemma is the easiest to lose money on.

**On Bitcoin**: as long as it doesn't break below 88,000, keep an eye on resistance levels for shorting. 89,066 and 90,366 are two defense lines; if it really breaks through, watch 90,800. After a pullback, consider going long at 87,388, 86,777, 85,688—final safety net at 85,000.

**On Ethereum**: resistance at 3,028 and 3,077, with a defense point at 3,083. If it can hold steady after a pullback at 2,988, this wave of market might still have potential. If broken, opportunities to go long are at 2,960, 2,916, 2,868, with the final defense at 2,850.

It's easier said than done—every trade must include a stop-loss (Bitcoin 500 points, Ethereum 50 points). This isn't an unnecessary protective measure; it's the bottom line for survival in trading. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is the right mindset and discipline. If there's a sudden break or a key level is breached, you must immediately reassess and not stubbornly cling to the original strategy. Maintain respect for the market and flexibility with your positions—that's the key to long-term stable profits.

Damn, the stop-loss level is set like… do you really think we're all machines? The words are good, but no one can actually do it. Honestly, every time I swear to strictly follow the plan, but as soon as I get trapped, I start changing parameters. I’m telling you, this is the beginning of a blood loss. I've heard this logic of the white line up and down countless times, but when I actually open a position, my brain heats up, and I always slip and cut the stop-loss. It's easy to say, but how tough is the mentality when actually trading? Watching Bitcoin retrace to 87,388 and wanting to catch the bottom, but it drops straight to 85,000. Regret level is full. I've been hearing the term "light position" for almost two years, but every time I FOMO, I just can't stop. Looks like I’m going to get another lesson this time, huh.

Position management is really the ceiling; many people get stuck here. --- That's right, mindset and discipline are the core, otherwise you're just being played by the market every day. --- The stop-loss hurdle must be cleared; otherwise, one big liquidation can wipe out all previous gains. --- Light positions are indeed more comfortable, no need to stare at your phone anxiously all the time. --- Reassessing after a breakout is crucial; stubbornly holding on is just courting death.

Talking about stop-loss is getting annoying; when the market crashes, I really can't control my hands.

It's the same old story, easy to say, but when the market comes, the hands still tremble. Position management is right, but most people simply can't do it. I’ve heard a hundred times that every loss is due to greed and mentality. Can 88,000 really hold? It feels like it needs to be tested again.

That's right, it's all about position management. Many people fall here. Honestly, you need to have a clear head and not be swayed by market trends. Is the bearish trend above the white line? You need to verify such things yourself before believing. Every time, people emphasize the importance of stop-loss, but when it really matters, they hesitate to cut. Is breaking 88,000 in Bitcoin the real dividing line? It all feels like armchair strategizing after the fact. Talking about mindset and discipline is much easier than actually practicing them. It's easy to set targets, but the real test is whether you can withstand the drawdowns.

You speak very harshly, position management is indeed the key, many people have fallen because of this. Really, mindset and discipline are more valuable than any technical analysis, but unfortunately most people can't realize that. Remembering these numbers is quite troublesome, but the approach is indeed clear, it all depends on execution. The manipulative tactics of the big players to harvest retail investors have been the same for so many years; if you can't break through, just cut losses obediently, it's not difficult. It's a good point, but I have deep experience with the saying that it's easy to talk about but hard to do.
