Trading is like taking a long-distance bus. You spot the right opportunity, get on the bus, find a seat and settle in, then set off. But you know in your heart that this is not the end point.

Traffic conditions are never ideal. Traffic jams, detours, bumps—these are all normal. Whenever this happens, impatient passengers can't sit still and get off early. What’s the result? They miss the scenery along the way.

Those who truly want to reach their destination rely on patience.

The bottom pattern of BTC is now at this stage. The real end point won't come so easily. We need to see through the two key neckline resistance levels at 100,000 and 106,000. These are the target zones worth looking forward to. Hang in there, don’t get off early.

Well said, but I'm afraid there are a bunch of people who start jumping ship before even getting on the bus.

This analogy is perfect, I just worry that the people around me will really be scared away by the turbulence. --- The 106,000 level really needs to be seen through; otherwise, it always feels like there's more to the story. --- Those who can't sit still have already jumped off; now it's just a matter of who can hold on until the end. --- That's right, every time there's a decline, someone screams to get off, but they miss the most exciting part of the ride. --- The bottom is just like this, repeatedly tormenting people; patience is easy to talk about but hard to practice. --- Two resistance levels, neither broken, so you have to keep your composure—that's true. --- A bit childish but definitely reasonable—that kind of resolve is the hardest to maintain. --- I'm just afraid that I might be the one to jump off early, haha. --- The phrase "don't get off early" really hits home; thinking about previous operations makes me uncomfortable. --- It looks simple, but when turbulence hits, you'll really understand what a test it is.

I just remembered, last time I was also this "patient" sitting in the car, and as a result, I was dropped off during the bumpiest part. Haha, 100,000 and 106,000, sounds just as far from the price I bottomed out at last time. Hold on, my principal is already on the way.

Sitting there sitting there and fell asleep, woke up and was already in the next city, that's the true essence of trading haha

The long-distance bus analogy is perfect; I'm just worried that people with a collapsing mentality might really jump off halfway. If I had known earlier, as I always say, patience with holding is like eating meat, impatience is like eating noodles. 10.6K is really a psychological barrier; only by breaking through can we tell the story. Traffic jams are the hardest to endure, but this is the moment to weed out the weak. I'm a bit curious about what those who jumped off are thinking now. This bottom phase really tests people; I'll just watch and see. The analogy is well used, but the key is still to withstand the mental challenge.

That sounds nice, but I'm afraid I'm the one who gets off the train early...
