The market finally shows some movement.

Today, I took a short position on Bitcoin and successfully pocketed 9094 USDT. Being able to seize this opportunity was thanks to my consistent advice — never chase the bottom, really. Friends who listened should have already made some gains this wave.

ETH is also moving along with it. From a technical perspective, after BTC pulled back from a high, it found a relatively clear support level. Currently, there’s about 1500 points of space downward. This level of market movement is actually not hard to grasp. The key is to stay calm and not be scared out by short-term fluctuations.

The news that the US core CPI data came in below expectations also sent some signals to the market. In the next few days, the trends of ETH and BTC are worth paying close attention to, but the prerequisite is to stick to your trading discipline and avoid FOMO buying the dip.

BTC-3,73%

ETH-6,93%

9094 USDT, that's a significant amount, have you really taken the advice? --- I've truly quit trying to catch the bottom; I'll wait for signals. --- A stable mindset is the key; I almost got shaken out again this round. --- CPI positive data is good, but don't celebrate too early; we need to see more. --- Don't get greedy even if you profit from short positions; the next step is the real test. --- A 1500-point range is quite manageable at this level, just worried about being shaken out. --- I give full marks for not blindly following the herd to catch the bottom; too many have fallen for this. --- The market is getting interesting, but don't let it be a flash in the pan. --- Discipline in trading is easy to talk about but hard to do, brother. --- Hearing you say that, I think I need to adjust my strategy.

Damn, finally not consolidating. I really made a profit this time by not bottom-fishing. I followed your advice and didn't jump on the bandwagon. This move is indeed comfortable. 1500 points of room, gotta seize the rhythm. CPI positive is like this; let's see if ETH can follow up later.

Wow, this round of short positions really paid off, 9094U is in the bag After hearing you say that, I regret it. I really did catch a bottom... 1500 points of room to move is easy to say, but can you really stay steady in actual operation? It feels like every time it's the same story, then I get trapped The key is still mentality. I'm the kind whose mindset collapses

Listening to advice can really make money; those who don't listen are still cutting losses. This wave of short positions is indeed comfortable, just need to keep a steady mindset. A 1500-point range? Feels like it can still fall; optimistic about the next few days. As soon as the CPI data came out, the market came alive; it's quite interesting. I need to engrain the phrase "Don't catch the bottom" in my mind. Secure 9094 USDT in profit; now that's the real deal.
