Crypto Star Weekly|Weekly Trading Recap
This week’s market action was actually quite frustrating—there was a trend at first, and then it slipped into consolidation.
I’ll do a simple recap of a few more representative trades from this week over the weekend.
It’s not just about whether you made money; more importantly, it’s about looking at why you made that call at the time, what you did well, and what still needs further optimization.
This week I selected three trades:
One was a long on BTC following the trend during a pullback;
one was a long on ETH at the lows after the drop;
and the last was an ETH short—although it ended in a stop-loss, there were still points worth revisiting.
BTC July 21 long around 65,100
This trade mainly focused on catching a trend pullback.
At the time, BTC had adjusted for a while earlier, but overall price action didn’t show any clear signs of weakening.
Many people, after seeing an upswing, tend to chase immediately, but my habit is still to wait for the level.
When the price pulled back to around 65,100, the bid support below was pretty clear, so I chose to enter long.
Later, the market continued to strengthen, and price moved above 66,000.
The comfortable part of this trade was that I didn’t chase the price after the market had already moved up—I waited for the market to give the opportunity.
A lot of trading isn’t about who reacts faster, but about who can patiently wait for their own entry level.
ETH July 24 long around 1,865
This trade was actually a test of mindset.
On the day, ETH quickly dropped from above 1,900, and market sentiment was clearly on the weak side.
When many people see this kind of pullback, their first reaction is to keep looking for shorts.
But what I was watching then was:
the price had already approached the support area I had planned earlier, and the sell-off speed started to slow down.
So I didn’t keep chasing the short—I waited for a pullback entry.
Entered around 1,865, and later the rebound brought price up to around 1,886, where I took partial profits.
This trade wasn’t because I predicted the absolute bottom; it’s because when the market was panicking, I could still execute according to my plan.
ETH short on the night of July 24 around 1,920
This is a trade I needed to review from this week.
That night, ETH bounced up to around 1,920. At the time I thought overhead resistance was clear, so I attempted to set up a short.
My plan was to look for 1,905. If weakness continued, then I would also look at 1,890.
At first, the price fell back and tested around 1,915—the move matched expectations.
But then the problem came.
That 1,915 level didn’t break down; instead, price slowly started to strengthen.
In fact, I already realized then:
if 1,915 couldn’t drop through, the short thesis would weaken.
Later, ETH pulled up to around 1,930 and 1,940, and I ultimately stopped out and exited.
The issue with this trade wasn’t that the direction was completely wrong, but that after the market changed, my adjustment speed could have been faster.
Trading isn’t just about entering—more important is adjusting the position based on how the market evolves after you’re in.
After going through this week, the feedback to myself was quite clear.
Profitable trades are not only profitable because the direction is right; more importantly, it’s about waiting for your level.
Losing trades don’t mean you were wrong just because you lost—you need to see whether you caught the logic change in time.
The market gives opportunities every day.
Keep recording and treat every trade as an accumulation.
