What is the most important thing when trading? Stop loss. Truly.

Set up your defenses first, then give the market time to react. After Bitcoin's physical price broke below 89,000, it accelerated downward. This point is worth paying attention to.

**Bitcoin strategy**: Aggressive traders can go long at 88,300, but remember—take profits and exit. A conservative approach is to enter at 87,500 or 86,777, with a stop loss at 86,000. Resistance above is around 90,380; if it hits 90,700, consider stopping out.

**Ethereum approach**: Similar logic applies—only consider going long if it retraces and breaks below 2,986. Aggressive traders can enter at 2,963; conservative traders can build positions at 2,928 or 2,898, with a stop loss at 2,870. For short positions, watch 3,043/3,076, with a stop loss at 3,083.

Key reminder: Every position must have a stop loss (for BTC, around 500 points; for ETH, around 50 points). When the market breaks through or falls below key levels, reassess promptly. Opportunities are always present, but emotional management and position control—this is the real skill to go far. Stay respectful, stay flexible.

Stop loss, it's easy to say but really hard to do. Every time, only after suffering losses do I remember to do it. It's really about psychological preparation; set your defenses well and don't make random changes. Bitcoin is indeed fierce this wave, it feels like it will drop further. Enter at 87500 for more safety, don't be too greedy. Managing your mindset is the key, I agree. Position control is truly the life and death factor. Once you break a key level, you have to run, don't hesitate. Stop loss, stop loss, stop loss, even saying it three times is hard to remember. Respect the market, I agree on this point.

Stop-loss is easier to talk about than to actually do. I've really seen many people just refuse to cut their losses... Another round of hype around the big pancake, can the 86,000 defense line hold? Mentality management is truly the ultimate answer; technical analysis is all虚的 Enter at 88300? I think the risk is a bit high, better to wait and see Position control is really more important than any analysis, but unfortunately, few people realize this

Talking about stop-loss is easy, but actually implementing it is really tough. There are still people who stubbornly hold on and refuse to cut, then suddenly wake up and find themselves back before liberation.
