Market trends never lie; we just often don't understand them.

Looking at this wave of BTC's movement, it's very clear. After a strong breakout of the consolidation range, it is now gathering strength near the recent high. This sideways movement after expansion is not boring consolidation but a buildup for the subsequent rise. Structurally, as long as the support below is not broken, the probability of continuing upward remains.

Specific parameters:
Buy zone: 505 – 495
Take profit level 1: 535
Take profit level 2: 565
Take profit level 3: 605
Stop loss: 480

This is a typical expansion + range-maintaining structure. The trading approach is simple — either wait for a pullback to confirm support, or wait for a decisive breakout upward before entering. Chasing the market always involves the highest risk; trading should be clean and avoid impulsive decisions.

In one sentence: surviving is the top priority. In the context of the Fed's rate cut expectations heating up, the technical signals in BTC are worth paying close attention to but also require cautious participation. The trend of ZEC is also worth monitoring.

This line of defense at 480 must be held, or it will all be for nothing.

Here comes another wave of the argument "As long as the support isn't broken, it will go up." I don't believe you, haha. Honestly, I've seen this set of parameters a hundred times, and in the end, it's always the blood and tears of the brothers who bought at the high points. Survive? I've already died once, and now I'm just resurrecting on the corpse to serve as a contrarian indicator.

Cough, it's the same old story of waiting for a pullback. Every time I say that, what's the result? A clean order feels comfortable, but when it’s time to actually execute, I end up chasing in. Survival comes first, but you need to have the capital to stay alive. Is the 480 stop-loss a bit tight? Can your mindset hold up? What is ZEC tracking? It's more practical to keep an eye on BTC for now. When support is broken, no one will react in time. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you have discipline. Before a breakout, sideways consolidation is just testing human nature. I see through it clearly.

As long as the support level hasn't been broken, just hold on, what's there to be afraid of --- Again it's 505-495, I have memorized these numbers --- Sounds nice, but in the end it's just waiting for a pullback, I don't trust you --- The first rule is to survive, this sentence is worth ten thousand dollars --- Buying ZEC on the trend? You probably want to wipe out my wallet --- Choppy consolidation is getting old, but what about when it breaks out --- I'm a bit greedy at 605, I'll hold until 565, then take profits --- Always talking about not chasing the rally, but some still suffer heavy losses --- Expectations of rate cuts are unreliable, beware of a reverse move

Only clean orders last long; those chasing the rise are all cannon fodder.

It's the same old story again, survival comes first. That's right, but very few people can really do it. --- The range from 505 to 495 is a bit tight, feels like it's always so stuck. --- Alright, just wait for it to retest and confirm, no rush in the next day or two anyway. --- Is the 605 target serious, or just talk? --- Is the Federal Reserve really that important? Feels like many people are just using it as an excuse. --- ZEC is just following the trend, this move is pretty clever. --- I like the phrase "clean order," at least it sounds honest. --- Starting to build momentum again, I've heard this phrase so many times my ears are calloused. --- Can the 480 below really hold? I'm a bit skeptical.

It's the same old story, I believe it every time, and as a result, I'm always caught. Looking back now, that support level is indeed strong, but who dares to go all in at critical moments? Buy at 505? I'm thinking of waiting for it to drop a bit more, anyway there's no rush.
