Build Position or Wait for Breakout? Traders' Philosophical Disagreements



In the face of Bitcoin's volatility, strategy is more important than direction.
The gradual build-up camp advocates for "odds thinking": deploying in batches around 67K, naturally benefiting if the breakout succeeds; if it fails and pulls back, additional positions can be added at lower levels. The downside is that during consolidation, traders are easily shaken out.
The confirmation wait camp emphasizes "win rate thinking": entering only after staying above 70K for more than three days, making the trend clearer but at a higher cost.
A mature approach is often a compromise — pre-positioning at the bottom and increasing positions upon breakout confirmation. This way, traders avoid reckless bets and also don't miss the entire move.
There is no perfect entry point in the market, only suitable positions. #BTC能否重返7万美元?
