New market on Monday, although weekend long positions were bitten by funding rates, a single profit is offset by a whole year's worth of fees—this is the market's price. The overall approach is still mainly to go long, reduce positions at resistance levels, and re-enter after a pullback. The upward move is in line with expectations; if you have no positions, continue to chase on dips.

Regarding Bitcoin: 91288 is an aggressive long entry point, with support levels at 90500 and 89500. Below 89000 requires重点防守. Resistance at 92400 can be considered for short-term shorts, conservative traders can look at 93400 as a re-entry zone, and 94500 is another reference point. Last night in the live broadcast, I mentioned that Bitcoin could target 96500 above, and if broken, continue to 98500. Don't panic about short positions; this price level is unreachable in one day.

The essence of intraday trading is to have both longs and shorts—don't be fixated on a single direction. After the decline to 3145 last night, it surged to around 3070 this morning. Next, ETH aggressive longs are locked in at 3127, with support at 3100 and 3066; below 3050 requires防守. Resistance at 3170 can be tested with short shorts, and for conservative traders, look at 3206 for adding positions, with 3249 as a stop-loss.

Remember one thing: when bullish pressure levels are reached, prices will pull back; when support levels are hit in a bearish trend, prices will rebound—this is all about the balance of power between bulls and bears. During news periods, avoid placing orders; take profits promptly. When the market hits the next key level, open a position, and always include a stop-loss (referencing 500 points for BTC and 50 points for ETH). There are many opportunities in the market, but what’s lacking is mental management. Controlling position size and stop-losses is the key to stable profits in trading.

so basically funding rates are just market tax on our conviction... ngl the "one trade pays for a year of fees" thesis checks out mathematically but my portfolio says otherwise lmao

Fees eat up a year's worth of gains, that's ridiculous, and you still have to wait for a rebound Switching between long and short really tests your mentality, don't stubbornly stick to one direction These numbers are dizzying, but stop-loss is still the most important Break 98,500 first, it's a bit early to boast now Mentality management > technical analysis, there's no doubt about that Without controlling your position size, no matter how much you earn, it's all in vain

Fee rate bites, profits deduct for a year, this is the art of big funds cutting leeks haha --- Again, there are many empty spaces in many places, after listening for so long, still being套路得死死的 --- 96500, 98500, first give a big pancake, wait to be smashed back --- Stop loss 500 points ETH 50 points, easy to say, but in reality, it's just being爆仓 --- Mindset management is the real key? Brothers, control your positions well and don't lose money, what else to think about --- Avoid orders on the news side, but human nature likes to chase highs, this is the true leeks attribute --- The comparison of the strength between bulls and bears, in simple terms, depends on how the market makers want to cut --- Make profits within the day and exit timely, how many people can do that? Most are still dreaming of 96500

Fees are really absolute, one wave of profit is directly eaten up, but on the other hand, being steady is how you make money. It's always the same story with the "multiple strategies," it feels like every time it's just a gamble on mentality—who has a poor mentality will explode. 91288 going long? I'm still watching, waiting for a pullback before deciding. Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but are you really always carrying one? Most people are just armchair strategists afterward. What happened to those who entered at 3127? Did this wave meet their expectations? 996 breakthrough is probably just a dream, you can't really touch it in a day, haha. Can Bitcoin really hold at 89500? Should I add an extra stop-loss? Avoid news-driven periods; I hear this every time, but I just can't execute. Controlling position size sounds easy, but FOMO is the real killer—admit it, everyone.

A small fee bite isn't a big deal; the key is not to let liquidation chew through the entire position... A 500-point stop-loss is a good suggestion, but some people just don't listen.

Fees are really disgusting; earning one profit requires a year's worth of fees. Damn, it's always about how much is empty and how much is full. I'm tired of hearing these words. Stop-loss is truly the key to trading; not using a stop-loss is playing with fire. Talking about mental management every day, easier said than done. 96,500? Feels like it's far away. Better focus on the present first. Can ETH hold steady at 3127 this time? It feels uncertain. The bulls and bears are pulling back and forth, retail investors are always the ones being ground up in the meat grinder.
