#Strategy加仓BTC The funniest thing in the crypto world is human nature.
After a day of consolidation on New Year's Day, the group started shouting "the market is over"; yesterday hit the daily limit, and those who didn't chase the move were pounding their thighs in regret. Some people, out of impulsiveness, fearing the market will crash, jumped ship without hesitation—ultimately, the market didn't fall, but they messed up because they didn't do their homework (completely failed to set stop-losses).
On the news front, Trump's tariff policy will be revealed today; whether it rises or falls still depends on speculation. But there's a detail worth noting—there's a clear increase in open interest in out-of-the-money call options, indicating that big funds are betting on a spring rally in advance.
Specifically, regarding the market situation:
**Bitcoin** has already stabilized above 94,300. Since the breakout is confirmed, the trading approach should be to follow the trend, not to bet against the top. The safest strategy is to wait for a pullback before going long—don't rush to chase the high. Wait for a new strong bullish candle to confirm the trend before entering, with a target around 100,000. But the process won't be smooth sailing; use position management and stop-losses to handle volatility, and never let emotions dictate your decisions.
**Ethereum's performance is even more aggressive**, with a single large bullish candle breaking through 5%. Because of the sharp rise, it becomes harder to precisely hit the pullback point. You can try to buy around 3220, but again—the same approach applies—wait for a new bullish candle to confirm before entering, which is the safer way.
Ultimately, the market doesn't care how regretful you are about missing out or how deep your fear runs. It’s always jumping around, and what you truly lack is a prepared plan and the willingness to wait calmly.

It's the same story again. Wait for the pullback to get in, but the pullback doesn't give you any chance at all.

Human nature is indeed the biggest enemy in the crypto world, more fierce than market fluctuations.
This article really hit home for me; that guy who didn't set a stop-loss truly deserves it.
BTC should break 94,300 to follow the trend; don't mess around with the reverse betting at the top, it's easy to get wiped out.
Waiting for a pullback to get in is much safer, don't rush to chase highs and catch flying knives.
Ethereum's recent surge has been too fierce; around 3,220 might be a good entry point, but be sure to wait for confirmation before following up.
In short, you need a plan, set proper stop-losses, and don't let emotions control you.

You're absolutely right, human nature is the biggest enemy in the crypto world.
The details of the increased bullish options buying are indeed worth paying attention to. Big funds have already positioned themselves for the spring, while retail investors are still hesitating whether to chase or not.
Once 94,300 stabilizes, follow along. Don't gamble on the old, worn-out strategy of betting against the top. Missing out is always better than getting liquidated.

It's those people who haven't set stop-losses again; they deserve to mess up themselves. Who's to blame?

100k is not far away, but you must endure through this process and manage your positions.

Ethereum's recent surge has been too fierce. Trying around 3220 is enough; wait for confirmation before following the trend to be safer.

Basically, it's all about waiting—waiting for a pullback and confirmation. Why rush? The market can't run away.

In the group, those folks shouted that the trend was over on New Year's Day, and now they're back to patting their thighs. It's really a series of acts.

Human nature is indeed a joke, but I think what's even more hilarious are those who haven't set stop-losses and are still crying there.
Chasing highs while fearing being trapped—how fragmented must that mindset be?
Waiting for a pullback to buy in sounds easy to say, but who can stay calm when truly missing out... Do you agree?
