There are no rehearsals in the crypto world; every operation is a real-time test. Yesterday morning, Bitcoin gave a short signal around 91,400, and ultimately stopped at 90,200 for a successful take-profit, demonstrating the importance of catching the rhythm. The same applies to Ethereum: short positions were set around 3,180, and a full retreat was made at 3,113.

The common point of these two trades is very clear: decisive entry, but more importantly, disciplined exit. A 1200-point margin sounds tempting, but to secure this profit, both mindset and execution are indispensable.

Finally, I want to say—when looking at short-term trends, never obsessively stick to just one direction. Market changes happen faster than you think; chasing highs and selling lows is a breeding ground for losses. When the market is uncertain, you must protect your defenses; it's better to earn less than to hold on recklessly. This is not conservatism; it’s the wisdom to survive longer in uncertainty.

That's correct, exiting the market is always much harder than entering, and those who truly make money are never greedy.

Exiting is the real key; too many people only know how to calculate entry points. Honestly, missing out on 1200 basis points is a mindset issue. I've seen too many greedy people. That wave at 3113 with Ethereum was a clean exit; the key was no hesitation. The crypto world is like this—making money is hard, holding on is even harder. This round of operations looks simple, but it's actually built on attention to detail.

Taking profits is really much harder than cutting losses; every time, I just can't resist that little bit of greed.

The key is at the moment of exit, and what you said is correct.

ngl the exit game is literally everything... seen too many vets get liquidated chasing those extra 200 basis points 🤷

1200 points are easy to talk about, but actually getting them is what counts. Mindset is truly a great weapon. --- Exiting is even harder than entering, this point is well said. --- Another perfect review, but next market might not be the same haha. --- The phrase "defend the line" hits home. I've been stubborn and lost because of it. --- Sense of rhythm + execution, sounds simple but absolutely effective when done. --- Better to earn less than to hold onto a position recklessly. This is the true everlasting truth. --- Bitcoin 1200 points is indeed tempting, but I still believe I can lose it. --- Short-term trend is just a liar, don’t trust it. --- Both trades are textbook-level, but my trades are always the opposite of the textbook. --- Decisive entry is easy, but leaving with a plan tests your character.
