Today’s Trading Priorities
1. First choice—stay on the sidelines: Saturday liquidity is low, the ETF market is closed, and there is no institutional capital pricing anchor. Observation is recommended; there is no need to rush into new positions.
2. If action is necessary: BTC long strategies take priority over shorts (the Fear Index at 34 points toward the bottom range, reducing the risk-reward of shorting). Place limit orders around $62,000 and wait for a wick.
