The recent market conditions have indeed provided many opportunities. The short positions placed around SOT 0.1 performed well, and the market trend was largely in line with expectations, resulting in quite satisfactory gains.

From a broader perspective, the release of the signal that the US core CPI is below expectations has conveyed a lot of positive information. Institutions are also increasing their holdings of Bitcoin and other mainstream assets, and market sentiment has somewhat improved. Many friends probably bought the dip during this decline.

The current question is, how sustainable is this trend? Should we continue holding positions and wait for a rebound, or take profits now that the situation looks good? What do you all think? It feels like there might still be a chance to try again.

Short positions indeed made a profit, but this CPI wave is really the institutions accumulating, small investors still need to be cautious. Bro, I feel it might drop further. It's better to take profits when the market looks good and play it safe. Institutional accumulation? It looks more like testing the bottom. Don't be fooled. The continuation of this market trend is really unpredictable. I’ve reduced my positions anyway—timid but staying alive. Still want to try again? Bro, don’t be greedy, you’ve already gained some profit.

The market looks good, but it's hard to say how long this wave will last. I think it's better to take profits early and secure gains. Institutions are increasing their holdings? Then we should be more cautious; retail investors are always the last to catch the falling knife. There are indeed many people trying to catch the bottom, but can a rebound really shoot straight to the sky? I remain skeptical. Isn't it better to take profits when things look good? Why insist on chasing that small rebound opportunity? Honestly, hearing that CPI is below expectations has become old news. Does anyone still believe that now? Want to try again? Bro, are you gambling with that mindset?

The short position has made quite a profit. This wave of CPI was indeed powerful, but I still think we should be cautious. Institutions may be accumulating, but who knows if it will drop again later. Take profits when the situation looks good, or continue to gamble on a rebound—it's really a tough call. Maybe keep testing the waters? Anyway, since we've already made a profit, there's no loss.

When the market is good, everyone can make money. The key is whether you can stay calm when the pullback comes. CPI data is indeed good, but the institution's accumulation seems a bit exaggerated and questionable. SOT this wave definitely offers many bottom-fishing opportunities; it all depends on whether you can hold on. Whether to continue holding or take profits, honestly, it's a gamble right now. I lean towards reducing positions to protect capital first. Regarding the continuation of this trend? To be honest, with such rapid movements, who can predict accurately? It's better to be cautious. Institutions increasing their Bitcoin holdings sound great, but many retail investors are also caught in traps. Don't be fooled. Feeling a bit greedy to try again, brother? The easiest time to get burned after making money is right now. A rebound may not reach the expected level. My advice is to sell in batches, not all at once. The short-term CPI positive is just that—short-term. There are still many uncertainties ahead.

Bro, you really hit the nail on the head this time. The CPI issue has caused some turbulence in the market. I think it's better to lock in profits first; it's not too late to buy back when the rebound comes. If institutions are already full, do we still need to eat? That's a bit risky. Try again? That's quite bold, but I think we should wait for some signals.
