The recent market has shown a volatile pattern, with mainstream cryptocurrencies remaining relatively stable. Bitcoin has repeatedly found support around 86,500, and Ethereum has also performed relatively well around 2,880, but the upward momentum has always been lacking. This kind of stalemate often tests traders' psychology the most—it's easy to get impatient and chase the market, only to end up trapped. Instead of rushing to enter, it's better to wait a bit longer and give the market enough time to reflect.

From a position perspective, currently maintaining a dual-direction strategy: on the short side, holding a short position on Ethereum at 3,065; on the long side, also holding corresponding positions. During the phase when support levels are still effective and the direction is unclear, patience is often more valuable than active trading itself.

This market trend is indeed testing psychological resilience. My quantitative model can no longer provide clear signals. Don't be impulsive; the support levels are still holding. Let's wait and see. I'm still holding onto my ETH short positions. In such a stalemate, it's easiest for the market to reverse and dump. The market movement is similar to 2017, but the structure has changed now, so we need to be more cautious. Whether the key level at 86,500 can hold will determine the next direction. I'm watching. Honestly, those trading in and out now are just gambling. It's better to wait for a confirmed breakout before taking action. A dual-position strategy is a safer approach. Don't chase after highs; that's why most people get trapped. Support holding doesn't mean prices will rise. Patience at this stage is truly more valuable than active trading itself.

The money spent in jail is still being used to buy the dip, I knew this wave still needs to be endured.

Stalemate is the most frustrating, watching the support level stay firm but just can't move up, it's really easy to get crazy.

It's starting to get tense again; this kind of market tests your resolve the most. I think, rather than staring at the K-line every day, it's better to stay calm first. --- Holding at the 86500 level for so long, either it breaks or just grinds on. But I still think there's no need to rush. --- A dual-direction strategy sounds great, but in practice, it’s exhausting. Should I wait for the breakout or for a dip? --- Supporting at 2880 is a good thing, but the lack of momentum is really boring. With this kind of market, I choose to sleep. --- The word "being trapped" hit home; the lesson from last year's chasing high is still fresh... Better to wait patiently for a clear direction. --- Support levels have been effective many times, but when will it really move? Feels like we’re just standing still. --- Patience is more valuable than quick trades—that’s not wrong, but I just can’t sit still, haha.
