Recently, there has been some adjustment in the market outlook.

To be honest, before Bitcoin surges to the upper end of the range, it is highly likely to experience a deeper correction. From a technical perspective, any decline to the lower green support zone is reasonable, which is also why I just closed my CRV short position—risk-reward ratio has changed.

Currently, there are quite a few good trading opportunities brewing. Once a slight correction occurs, a large number of new entry points will emerge. Instead of blindly chasing the long side, it’s better to observe the specific price movements and let the market give us signals. The benefit of this approach is avoiding chasing highs and getting caught, while also positioning at the best points.

For mainstream coins like Ethereum and SOL, they are also in sensitive positions at the moment. The next move is crucial; once a clear direction is established, that will be the real opportunity. But before that, maintaining a wait-and-see attitude and controlling risk is the most rational choice. The market will always give opportunities again, no need to rush.

BTC-0.1%

Waiting for a pullback, chasing highs has caused too many losses, this time I’ve learned to be smart. No, wait, something seems off about this logic... Where’s the promised green support? With SOL, it always lets you down at critical moments. Watching, watching, and still watching. Wait, they’re all bottom-fishing, and we’re still waiting for a signal? Getting a bit impatient. I just don’t understand this short-selling operation; how exactly is the risk-reward ratio changing? The market always waits for me, I’m always watching, this game is getting a bit tiring. No signal, so I don’t move. This mindset is indeed steady, but it’s a bit boring.

Wait, I didn't quite understand the operation of shorting CRV. If the risk-reward ratio worsens, you just bail out? That's a pretty bold mindset. You're right, there's no need to rush. I also think this wave might still need some shaking out. Let the market speak for itself. Don't keep a bullish mindset all day long; it's easy to get cut.

Well, I'm also waiting for this round of adjustment. Chasing highs is really a tax on intelligence. CRV's move was great; those who understand how to look at the return ratio will live longer. Just wait for the signal. Anyway, opportunities are always there. I strongly agree with that theory.

Yes, this wave of correction really needs to hold, chasing highs is really easy to get beaten up Wait for the signal, don't rush to get in, I do the same Well said, timely stop-loss on CRV was indeed smart, when risk and reward change, you should withdraw SOL has been playing with fire these days, it's better to stay on the sidelines How are those who chased longs doing? Anyway, I'm waiting for the next clear opportunity

I give in on this short position, but I'm just worried that a pullback might come and I won't be able to control my hand... Wait, can the green support really hold? It feels a bit weak this time. Watching and waiting, as I always say, chasing highs doesn't bring good stuff. SOL is too sensitive, I better hold back for now. Otherwise, a 20% drop might be the real opportunity.

That's right, now it's just about waiting for the signal, don't follow the herd and chase the highs. There are many people caught chasing the highs, and they really think they're the chosen ones. If this wave of correction is coming, let it come; there are plenty of opportunities anyway. Those who are patient will end up making money in the end, that's all. This is the correct operational logic, but unfortunately most people can't do it.
