I was just about to go to the forum and start cursing, but then I saw my balance—forget it, the market is always right. When everyone else was running, I didn’t panic along with them. Before the market had fully taken off, the resistance overhead was obvious, and every rebound felt like doing push-ups. I judged then that no one would be there to catch this move upward, so I placed a short at 0.02485. When I checked the chart after lunch, it was at 0.02352, +104.59%. That was a satisfying bite of profit; those on board should have woken up laughing. I first closed out at +104.59% and walked awa

This move was purely the market feeling bad and casually smashing downward, only to smash right into my arms. Credit goes to the order I set before bed a few days ago. While everyone else was running, I watched the trading volume and upward momentum, felt that the rebound was weak and the bull trap smell was too strong, and the trading volume was pitifully low. So I placed a short at 0.12629. Today I checked and the current price was 0.10356, giving me a direct return of +178.5%. With no vision and unable to hold, I directly took +178.5% of the profit off the table, leaving the remaining +178.

The short position I set a few days ago before bed had already made me feel too embarrassed to take a screenshot by the time I woke up. 😏 $STRK was surging pretty aggressively then, but the volume simply didn’t keep up, with volume continuously declining at the highs—isn’t that a textbook sign of a weak rebound? I went short at 0.03656 as planned. When I checked the chart after lunch, the price had already slid to 0.02779, with +1156.52% in floating profit. The brothers on board must have woken up laughing. It really dragged beforehand, but the outcome is truly sweet. The strategy is simple:

【$ETH Long】Volume expanding + OI stable, 2504 sniper zone activated

【$BR Signal】Long: 1H pullback stabilizes + 4H momentum continues
$BR 4H RSI 80.04, with the price hugging the 4H Bollinger upper band at 0.3182. 1H MACD has formed a death cross, while the price holds around 0.316 and selling pressure is being absorbed quickly. Order book depth imbalance is 16.07%, with a buy/sell ratio of 1.38 and substantial bids below. The funding rate is 0.0092%, showing no signs of overheating. 4H momentum has the edge, the 1H consolidation is resilient, and the short-term structure is bullish.

What is truly worth recording in this move is not how much the market ultimately rose, but that the direction had already been determined before the launch. The core key levels held through several consecutive pullbacks, and the key levels were gradually moving higher, so instead of continuing to short at the time, I waited for a reclaim and treated it as a long entry.
The entry reference was 37.23, mainly because buying support began to strengthen after the pullback, while the key structure on the four-hour timeframe gradually moved higher. Entering at this level provided a clear stop-loss an

The first professional term I learned on Gate was “FOMO”
On my first day after registering on Gate, I saw the word “FOMO” in the square. I asked about it and only then learned that it meant “fear of missing out.” At the time, I thought these people were really interesting. Losing money was one thing, but they even came up with a foreign word for it.
Then I FOMOed the very next day.
I saw a coin rise 20%, and everyone in the group was shouting, “Get on board, get on board!” I got carried away and jumped in. After I bought it, the coin started falling. I got even more carried away and bought a l

The Fed’s dovish signals last night, coupled with market expectations for weak nonfarm payrolls data tonight, sent Bitcoin sharply higher ahead of time, briefly breaking above $81,000. The price action has already sent a signal: tonight’s data will only make the battle more intense.
The data is not out yet, but the market has already “jumped the gun”
The ADP “little nonfarm” report released on Wednesday showed only 38,000 new jobs, far below the expected 47,000 and the lowest since January this year. Major institutions expect August nonfarm payrolls tonight to come in at around 53,000 to 58,00

【$CHIP Signal】1H downside-resistant sideways movement + negative funding rate short squeeze setup
$CHIP 4H RSI 73.18, 1H MACD histogram contracted to 0.0001, sell-side order book depth is 4 times that of the buy side, yet the price remains sideways above 0.0555. The negative funding rate of -0.0005% has still failed to push the price lower.

$EDGE 45.41% gain, 168M trading volume, funding rate at 0.0393%. Order book buy/sell ratio 1.00, with neutral depth. OI is stable, and holders have not clearly exited. Current price is 0.6155. 1H/4H indicator data is unavailable, but the price has strongly moved above the upper range. The funding rate is close to 0.04%, increasing the cost of long positions. Watch for funding rate pressure in the short term; stable OI reflects that confidence remains intact.

Just after seeing the bearish news, I thought this move was completely doomed, but it turned out to be even better at putting on an act than I am. While everyone else was running, $AEON quietly pushed higher, but volume failed to follow, and every surge seemed to lack that final bit of momentum. I judged it to be one last bull trap and went straight short, entering at 0.06423. Now look at that: the current price is 0.05425, with a return of +305.93%—all that waiting paid off.

Those already on board should be laughing in their sleep, while those who missed the ride shouldn't beat themselves

Ethereum continued its oversold rebound today, currently quoted at 2500. Its rebound elasticity is significantly stronger than Bitcoin’s, showing an independent trend distinct from the broader market. Unlike BTC’s systematic rally driven by recovering macro sentiment and gold’s trend rebound driven by the dollar’s decline, the core force behind ETH’s rise this time is the concentrated liquidation of shorts in the derivatives market—over the past 24 hours, more than $71 million in ETH short positions were liquidated, accounting for nearly 75% of total liquidations. Stop-losses on low-level shor

A few days ago I was still calculating whether I had enough money for this month’s instant noodles; this morning I was already wondering whether to add sausage😂
A few days ago, I checked the $WLD chart before bed. It fell just short of breaking higher several times, with a weak rebound and no follow-through in volume. With no one to take the other side on a move up like this, I figured it couldn’t hold for long, so I placed my short order before going to sleep.
The short at 0.4076 is now at 0.3997, with +137.52% secured. This profit feels great—no exaggeration, I simply picked a solid entry.

I Lost All Five Days, but Here’s What I Learned
Last day, summary: I lost every day over the five days, with a total loss of approximately 30 USDT.
I didn’t have a single screenshot of a profitable trade, but I still insisted on posting five market-opinion pieces.
To be honest, what this challenge taught me most wasn’t how to make money, but how to admit defeat.
I used to think, “If there’s no screenshot, it doesn’t count as participating.” Now I realize that writing market opinions and recording my decision-making logic is itself a way of showing my trades.
The event says that “publishing mar
