The wave of movement during Friday's midday session activated all kinds of voices in the market. In the comment section, some are shouting to chase the rally, while others are bearish about the pullback; the atmosphere is comparable to bargaining at a wet market. But if you've been involved for nearly eight years, you'll understand: this current market situation isn't really a mystery, but rather an obvious open book. As long as you interpret the signals from two key time cycles correctly, you can generally keep up with the rhythm and avoid most common pitfalls.

Let's start with the core logic, summarized in one sentence: "The bottoming and recovery are complete, and the sideways but slightly strong pattern has been established." Some might counter, "Why haven't I noticed this when analyzing the charts?" That's probably because they haven't grasped the correct cycle.

Focus first on the four-hour timeframe—that's the golden window for judging the medium-term trend. Since the price stabilized around 87189, a clear upward channel has emerged. Look at the lows—each one higher than the last—and every pullback precisely lands on the key support levels of the previous consolidation zone before bouncing back. There has never been an effective breakdown below these levels. This climbing rhythm is like mountain climbing—slow but steady, with each step solid.

The candlestick patterns are even more interesting. Small bullish candles and solid bullish candles alternate, which is no coincidence. Behind this is a continuous support force from below. In other words, as long as there are sell-offs, there are buyers stepping in; the bullish momentum is being released in an orderly fashion. This isn't a market that has been artificially inflated after a frantic surge, but rather a measured and methodical push upward.

Some friends will definitely ask, how should we handle the resistance levels above? I have a good idea of that, of course. But in this oscillating upward trend framework, resistance levels are like obstacles on a mountain—you're supposed to break through them with effort, but that doesn't mean the market will collapse there. The key is to watch the volume and the balance of buying and selling during the breakout.

Looking down from the daily chart level, the entire trend is even clearer. Although there are fluctuations, the overall direction has never changed. That's why this is a "clear card" situation— the trend is already established; it’s just a matter of whether you have the courage to follow and the wisdom to cut losses. Many people's problems lie here: either they are too greedy or too timid, and in the end, the market teaches them a lesson.

From a practical trading perspective, the key is to set your defensive levels properly. Once the price breaks below a recent key support, don’t hesitate—execute your stop-loss. As long as the support holds, continue with the sideways upward strategy. Rhythm is very important—don't push all your chips in at once; instead, build positions gradually and advance step by step. Only then can you survive longer amid volatility.

In essence, the current market is telling you: the previous correction is complete, and now is the time to accumulate strength. Whether you can profit from the subsequent move depends on your mindset and execution. Stay calm, follow disciplined trading rules, and with these two in place, making money is no longer a guessing game.
