Bitcoin has just experienced a rapid decline, dropping from 79,455 directly down to 77,700.

This kind of sharp drop is the easiest to throw off your rhythm—fearing a rally when shorting, fearing further drops when bottom-fishing, ending up getting hit from both sides.

Trading doesn't have to be so exhausting—first look at the trend, then signals, set proper stop-losses, control position sizes, and leave the rest to the market.
