Today I watched the market all day, and the {future} coin's trend still doesn't give me a reason to take action.



The current price at 0.17 USDT looks like a good increase, but a careful look at the 1-hour chart reveals a problem—RSI has already risen to 64.5, clearly in the overbought zone. What's more frustrating is that the trading volume has shrunk by as much as 83.8%, which is like sweating cold after a high fever—momentum is almost gone.

My trading discipline is very simple: **Do not chase the rally during volume contraction**. Why? Because building a position in this kind of market makes stop-loss setting difficult, risks are high, and it completely doesn't meet my trading logic.

Honestly, recent consecutive losses have made me extra cautious with every trade. I need a truly worthwhile swing—**a risk-reward ratio of at least 2:1**. Currently, the price is at a high level, with support far below, and such a position doesn't match this ratio at all.

**So the plan is as follows:**

Either wait for it to pull back and stabilize in the 0.155-0.160 range, then try to buy in batches; or wait for it to break out with volume and confirm the move. Once entered, set the stop-loss at 0.150, with two targets—first take profit at 0.175, then look at 0.185. This way, the risk is between 0.005 and 0.01, and the reward space is 0.015 to 0.025—mathematically, it makes sense.

**For now, the four words are: continue to observe.** Better to miss a wave than to open a position at the wrong place. This discipline is worth more to me than anything right now.

I've seen many tricks of pushing up with shrinking volume. A 83.8% decrease in trading volume is really a signal. Not following this wave.

A surge with decreasing volume is just a trap; I won't touch this kind either.

Rising on low volume, this trick is seen too often. It's always a prelude to cutting the leeks.

A surge on low volume is just a trap. RSI has already reached 64, and you're still trying to chase? My painful lesson.
