Market fluctuations can indeed easily cause people to lose their rhythm. It’s helpful to return to the most basic trading logic: place short positions at key resistance levels and long positions at key support levels. This approach has stood the test of time.

The three most important details are: first, set a reasonable stop loss for every trade; second, control leverage multiples and avoid over-leveraging; third, maintain a light position so that even if your judgment is wrong, you can respond calmly.

The essence of market trends is actually very simple — it’s never just a one-sided rise or fall. The real market evolves like this: rise → pullback → rebound → breakout → pullback again. Once you understand this cyclical pattern, you can make precise placements at key points instead of being confused by every fluctuation.

That's right, the hardest parts to execute are stop-loss and light position trading. Knowing what to do is easy, but actually doing it is really difficult—it's no joke. This wave of market movement has indeed trapped many people; you still need to stick to discipline. Short positions at resistance levels, long positions at support levels—sounds simple, but few can truly stick to it. Another talk about fundamentals, but the market remains so magical. Leverage... most people only learn to respect it after a margin call. The cyclical rhythm is theoretically perfect, but in practice, it always lacks that bit of timing. Light positions have saved me many times; they are more effective than any technical analysis. Setting stop-loss poorly, no matter how much you earn, is useless—this is a painful lesson. The rebound after a pullback looks simple, but in real-time judgment, it's easy to make mistakes. We still have to admit that no method can guarantee 100% profit; mindset is more valuable than technical skills.

Sounds good, but how many can truly stick to small positions and stop-loss? Most still go all-in and get liquidated.

ngl, all this "key support/resistance" talk sounds nice on paper but who's actually enforcing fair price discovery when whales are sandwiching retail orders left and right... that's the real dark forest out here
