The current market is in a phase of repeated oscillations. This kind of trendless market actually tests trading discipline the most. Instead of chasing the trend, it's more prudent to buy low and sell high within a clear range.



A good strategy is to go long near the support level of $880–$890. Set a stop-loss at $870, with the first target around $910–$920. If the price continues upward, $928–$935 is also within sight. Conversely, if the price hits the resistance zone of $928–$940 and you go short, place the stop-loss above $948, with targets at $900 and then $880. This buy low, sell high approach carries much less risk than blindly chasing trends.

However, oscillations will eventually end. Once clear trend signals appear, you must immediately adjust your mindset. For a bullish scenario, the price stays firmly above $940–$950 and can hold during pullbacks. This is when entering long positions is safer, with a stop-loss around $925 and eyes aiming higher toward $970 or even $1,000. For a bearish scenario, the opposite thinking applies: if the price breaks below $880 and then retests but cannot hold, short positions become more convincing. Set the stop-loss above $890, with targets at $850 and further down to the $820–$800 region.

Here's a key point: trend orders must wait for sufficient breakout confirmation. Rushing to chase can easily lead to fake breakouts, increasing the risk of liquidation.

Regarding leverage, a range of 10x to 15x is more reasonable, depending on your actual trading situation. Most importantly, stop-losses must be strictly enforced. Single losses should not exceed 1% of the total position. Only by doing so can you survive longer in this market.

To be honest, this low-buy high-sell framework has a clear logic, but the key is whether you can stick to that 1% stop-loss discipline... Most people talk about it nicely, but when it comes to losses, they start to hold on stubbornly.

Buying low and selling high is real, but I still tend to chase the highs. Discipline is easy to talk about...

Buying low and selling high sounds easy, but in practice, it's just chasing and cutting again. Volatile markets really test your patience.

Volatility is an opportunity to make money, don't chase blindly --- Buying low and selling high sounds simple, but executing it is always tears --- Wait a minute, this fake breakout is washing me out again, right? --- Set your stop-loss properly to sleep peacefully, really --- A 1% loss limit sounds easy, but actually doing it is the hardest --- Jumping in before the trend is confirmed, no wonder you're trapped --- Over 880 now, just see if it can hold steady at 940 --- Leverage is something that feels good for a moment, but eventually blows up --- The difference between disciplined trading and gambling is right here

Handshake and reconciliation, the fluctuating market within the range is indeed the easiest way to drive people crazy. Talking about buying low and selling high sounds easy, but to actually do it requires strict discipline.

Volatile markets require patience; don't chase blindly. Only by sticking to discipline can you survive and exit profitably. Buying low and selling high is indeed stable. I also favor entering longs around 880, but you must strictly cut losses and not be soft-hearted. Fake breakouts are the most frustrating; one careless move can wash you out, so you must wait until the structure is clear before acting. The 1% rule is truly a golden rule. Those who adhere to it tend to survive longer. Leverage is tempting but deadly. 10 to 15 times leverage depends on your strength. If you're too greedy, just wait for a margin call. This wave of volatility is a bit annoying. When will we see a clear direction... Only after breaking above 940 and holding steady can you confidently go long; otherwise, it's just a false signal. Stop-loss is easy to talk about but hard to do. When you're truly losing money, everyone wants to take a gamble. The 880-890 level is indeed good; I'm also watching it.
