Looking back at this wave of market movement: In early January, we expected Bitcoin to break through 91,000 and target 93,000-95,000, further aiming for 97,000-100,000; Ethereum was aligned with the 3,200-3,500 range. As of January 6, BTC has reached 94,789, and ETH hit 3,266, with our expectations basically fulfilled.



On the futures trading front, yesterday morning I went long from 3,133 directly to 3,220, then around 3,220 I shorted back to 3,133, and in the afternoon, I again went long from 3,133 up to 3,266. Both longs and shorts profited, which illustrates the charm of intraday swings.

Regarding spot trading strategy, my logic has remained unchanged — I don’t chase high during a bull market, but instead, I look for opportunities to sell during bear market rebounds and false rallies. If the rebound reaches the 95,000-100,000 range, I will gradually sell the positions I built around 85,000-86,000, freeing up funds to patiently wait for the next move.

My next plan is clear: wait for the price to return to the 80,000-70,000, or even 60,000-50,000 range for precise re-entry. Someone might ask, what if it drops to 40,000 or 30,000? Actually, there’s nothing to worry about — just hold on. For the next bull cycle, any entry point within the 85,000-50,000 price band is a good bottom position. Instead of stressing over short-term fluctuations, it’s better to focus on long-term certainty.

Damn, the expectations are so accurate. I need to learn from this rhythm too.

Hey, talking about expected fulfillment is easy; the real challenge is not being greedy.

The expected payout has been realized, impressive. But now selling spot assets and waiting for a pullback, really takes guts.

Expecting to realize gains easily is one thing, but in practice... I see that your contract indeed made a profit during that move, but this kind of intraday swing isn't something everyone can handle.

The expected realization has been achieved, and the rhythm of this wave was well grasped. Contract traders are making profits on both ends; it's easy to say but requires a lot of guts to execute. I agree not to chase highs; let's see if the 95,000 level can be smoothly sold off later. Waiting until 50,000-80,000 to get in is more rational; anyway, I've seen this kind of bear market rebound routine many times. Why not fear breaking through? What if it drops below 40,000? This kind of logic sounds great, but when it comes to critical moments, it still depends on your mindset. Everyone can talk about long-term certainty, but the key is whether you can hold on.

Not chasing highs is the key; this mindset is the fundamental logic for making money.

Prophet Emperor, 93,000-95,000 feels the same at close range, no one has this feel.

Hey, no, this contract operation has me confused. How can both sides profit... What are the details of the mempool monitoring? I still have that batch of 85,000 spot holdings. Are you really just waiting for the price to drop to 95,000-100,000 to dump? I don't believe it will go that smoothly this time. The opportunity to position from 80,000 to 50,000... To be honest, I'm more concerned about whether there will suddenly be a flash loan dump at that time.

Expected to realize gains sounds satisfying, but the strategy of swing trading is easy to talk about; how many can actually profit from both ends?
