#我的Gate交易时刻 just now, BTC directly broke below the key level of $64,000, now at $63,968, down 2.72% in 24 hours. Once the data was released, altcoins flowed blood, with spot net selling reaching a six-year low.

I opened a short-term BTC short position around 64,200, with a very simple logic: the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time, but after Waller took over as chair, the stance clearly turned hawkish, macro outlook is short-term bleak; plus, large investors are concentrating funds into BTC and ETH, and even when altcoins fell 70%, no one was bottom-fishing, so the probability of a downward break is much higher than a rebound.
I used only 3x leverage when opening the position, controlling the position within 15% of total funds, with a stop loss set at 65,200. If this had been before, I would definitely have gone all-in with 10x leverage to bet on a rebound. But after experiencing a liquidation before, I now prefer to earn less and protect the principal—contract trading, staying alive is more important than anything.
This position currently has about 6% unrealized profit, not much, but it is the result of strictly following my trading discipline. Not greedy, not resisting orders, understanding the trend before acting—these are lessons I learned by exchanging real money.
