The two trading positions at the beginning of the year have already been secured. Let's take a look at the current situation.

On the BTC side, the long position at 87315 was set a long time ago. Yesterday, I just took a new entry point at 87189. The first batch of profit-taking was easily achieved with over 700 points. When the price surged to 88881 in the early morning, the second batch of profit-taking was also in place, with a profit margin of 1500 points. Now, I am holding the core position, watching it protect, with the reduction of positions already down to 80%.

Support levels are at 83960, 80415, and 74450. Resistance levels are at 94225 and 100300.

DOGE dropped directly to 0.1275 last night. Compared to the floating loss of 50%, now the profit has stabilized at 2-3 times. Honestly, from the moment I told you to enter, patience has been the only rule. Recently, the market hasn't given quick gratification in the past twenty days. Short-term movements may require about 24 hours to see clearly. Fortunately, last night DOGE experienced a violent surge, so the wait wasn't in vain.

Key levels for DOGE: 0.08, 0.1, 0.1145, 0.13, 0.1515-0.18.

ETH has been relatively quiet, oscillating between support levels at 2915, 2850, 2749 and resistance levels at 3170, 3400, with not much volatility. During the New Year’s days, meme tokens were heavily pumped, and some altcoins were driven to absurd heights, harvesting a lot of long liquidity. This reminds everyone that when trading altcoins recently, stop-losses are a must—don't be lucky.

Actually, at this stage, it’s the best opportunity for self-discipline. Position sizes must be controlled, and don’t follow the crowd. When the market seems calm, that’s when you’re most likely to lose your temper—paradoxically, the more frequent the violent surges and drops, the calmer you should be. Making money is always a game for the few. The 28 Law even becomes the 19 Law here. If your operations, mindset, and rhythm are the same as the masses, how can you stand out among the 10% or 5% winners? This is not just motivational talk; it’s the market’s real feedback.

You're a tough person. This wave of DOGE went from a 50% unrealized loss to 2-3 times the original, how strong must your mindset be to endure this?

Playing it safe and securing the bag—that's the winning mindset. DOGE went from a 50% unrealized loss to 2-3 times profit; patience really pays off. That wave of altcoin harvesting was indeed ruthless; those who didn't cut losses became the denominator. The quieter the market, the more you need to control your hands; don't keep thinking about chasing gains or cutting losses all day. I'm just worried some people are still sleepwalking, eventually becoming part of the 90% who fall behind. Being defensive and prepared is more realistic than constantly dreaming about doubling your investment. That's why, after ten years of trading cryptocurrencies, only those 10 people are still making money.

DOGE went from a 50% unrealized loss to 2-3 times, patience can be really torturous, but it also truly confirms the saying you mentioned.

That's right, this wave really tests your mentality. I'm also gritting my teeth and holding my position. Wait, DOGE went from a 50% floating loss to 2-3 times that? I really can't learn patience for this. That last part hit the nail on the head. Following the trend always results in losses. This isn't just motivational talk; it's the reality. I've never managed my position well; I always want to buy the dip but keep getting caught. I've learned my lesson this time. BTC still depends on whether 100300 can be broken. Only then will it be interesting. A person's daily routine can determine their chances of making money; sometimes it's more important than technical analysis. I've noted down these support levels. If there's a pullback later, I'll consider adding to my position. It feels like everyone involved in trading lately is just waiting for a real signal to appear.

This guy is quite right, patience is really the only rule. Earning 2-3 times steadily is better than my performance over the past half year, I’m impressed. But to be honest, I still tend to follow the trend, especially when I see others’ prices skyrocketing, I can’t resist wanting to jump in. Wait, can DOGE still be chased now or should I wait for a pullback? The key is mindset. I really lack in this area and need more self-discipline. That’s why only a few people always make money, most people can’t control their positions. It seems simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.
