BTC yesterday early morning completed a pullback near 91200 and quickly rebounded to around 93800, closing all my short positions with profits. At that time, I was thinking of waiting until around 94000 to build a short position again, but in that moment of hesitation, the market reversed downward, and I missed the opportunity. Now BTC is fluctuating around 91000, still not dropping to the level I’ve been watching at 89588 for a long entry. Continuing to observe patiently is the key.
I’ve realized that in trading, you really need a mindset hierarchy: profits are obviously the most satisfying, but holding no position is second only to profits. Why? Because not losing money while out of the market means you don’t suffer losses, and you still have bullets for the next round of行情. In contrast, holding a position through losses is a real test of mental strength. Sometimes, entering in the wrong direction is a hundred times more painful than missing the move. So instead of getting caught up in the middle and testing your patience, it’s better to play games, read books, and wait for the real opportunity.
Today’s BTC trading plan is as follows: place a long position around 89588, with a stop loss at 88888. If the entry goes smoothly, take partial profits at 91588, 92888, and 94100. Aggressive traders can also wait at 90888, using a small position to test the waters and reserve room for adding positions. If the price breaks below 88888, switch to a long at 87588, move the stop loss to 86288, and target taking profits in batches at 90888, 92888, and 94000.
On the short side, continue to build positions on the left side of 94000, with a stop loss at 95000. Since this key resistance at 95000 is still holding, the short position at this important resistance level remains worthwhile.

Missing out doesn't mean losing money—this saying is really spot on. Compared to the mental exhaustion of holding positions, staying on the sidelines is truly refreshing.
That 94,000 level is indeed a hurdle this time; it feels like I need to keep waiting.
I've grasped the theory of mental state prioritization; next time, I really need to hold back.

Being out of the market is really the most comfortable state, no need to watch the K-line and see the blood pressure drop wildly.
Wake up and find the person gone, then come back after waking up.
It's all a trick, brother. I'm also holding a short at 94,000, just waiting for the moment to reverse.
Missing the move is even more uncomfortable than losing money. What kind of broken mentality is this?
I've been waiting at the 89,588 level for three days, but the pancake just won't give me face.

I understand the feeling of missing out; that hesitation in one second can cost you thousands of dollars.
This level at 89588 must be held, patience is better than reckless moves that could lead to big losses.
Holding at 95000 indicates that there is something here.
I've always thought that being in a flat position is the most comfortable state. Isn't playing games more enjoyable?

Taking profits and still wanting to chase, this is the biggest trap.
Missing out is less painful than losing money, I’ve taken that to heart.
Be patient and wait, really, there's no need to torment yourself on the market every day.
That line at 89588, feels like I’ll be waiting a long time.
Being fully out of the market is truly the most comfortable position, I’m not joking.
What’s the status of the short at 94000? Can you hold on?
Every time, it’s at the moment of hesitation that I miss the opportunity, I’m numb.
Not chasing highs—this one principle can save your life.
Looking at your mindset ranking, you’re definitely more clear-headed than most people.
Waiting, waiting—just can’t bring myself to do that, every time I get in early.

I'm absolutely impressed by this mindset ranking; being out of the market is really the second most comfortable thing.
Missing out a thousand times is not as uncomfortable as holding a reverse position once.
I'm also waiting for the 89588 long entry this time; let's see if I can hit the mark.

Once again, I hesitated and was hit by the market in the opposite direction. Isn't this just a replica of those dormant wallets on the chain? Data shows that someone has been repeatedly sweeping orders in the 91200-93800 range.

Missing out is uncomfortable, but losing money is even more painful. I agree with this order.

Being fully out of positions is truly the most elegant way to hold, with sleep quality taking off directly.

Being out of the market is truly the most underestimated state; not losing money is already half the victory.
Missing out is painful but not enough to cause a liquidation; continue to wait on the selling side for opportunities.
Once the key level at 89588 is triggered, it will be the moment of real gold and silver.
