This order is still in hand and hasn't been closed. Starting from the short position at 88888, then switching to a long at 86888, but after entering, the market's volatility kept decreasing, leading to a stalemate.

The current problem is: if I close the position, it's really awkward. Neither clearly breaking nor showing momentum for a breakout. If I want to continue going long, I feel there's little room for profit-taking in this kind of oscillating pattern; if I want to reverse and go short, this level isn't the most ideal entry point from a technical perspective.

It's basically the market repeatedly testing this price range, with low trading volume and unclear direction. The bulls lack upward momentum, and the bears have no conviction to break through. Just stuck here, it's quite uncomfortable.

Oh no, this is a classic case of being caught in a squeeze, stuck between a rock and a hard place. --- 88888 Idle trading volume, ending up stuck in the middle and unable to move. I understand this frustration. --- Rather than dwelling here, it's better to cut losses directly. Anyway, there's no more room for profit-taking. --- With such sluggish trading volume, you should have left long ago. What are you waiting for, really. --- Feels like you're betting on the right direction, but actually the market hasn't decided yet. Embarrassing. --- Isn't it supposed to break through that level? Then just wait. Anyway, being stuck won't kill you. --- My goodness, this kind of market is the most annoying—neither profitable nor satisfying. --- A market with no conviction from both bulls and bears, retail investors are the easiest to get beaten, honestly. --- If you ask me, just place a stop-loss order and be done with it. Don't wait any longer. --- Decreasing volatility usually means it's gathering strength. Which direction will it go? --- Isn't this just the feeling of oscillation at high levels? Be careful when it comes down.

This is a typical trapped situation, oscillation is the most annoying to endure. --- 86888 This part is a bit awkward, I often get stuck in this kind of position. --- Instead of fussing, it's better to wait for a clear direction. --- Insufficient trading volume is a signal; don't do anything for now. --- I see that the bulls currently don't have much firepower. --- This kind of market that doesn't break through to establish new levels is most prone to losses. --- Getting stuck at a position is the most torturous; it's better to cut losses directly and start over. --- Repeated testing indicates that the market hasn't stabilized yet; be patient. --- If the bears lack conviction, it also means no one wants to fall; just keep waiting.

This is the feeling of being trapped, huh. The 86888 position is really awkward; sitting on the fence is uncomfortable.

It's stuck here, I understand that uncomfortable feeling... Volatility can be frustrating, it's the feeling of wanting to stabilize but also not wanting to stabilize. This deadlock is actually just waiting for an opportunity, it doesn't necessarily mean taking action right now. When trading volume is sluggish, it's often a brewing period. It's better to step out and get some fresh air first, and then jump in once the direction becomes clearer.

This is a typical case of being caught in a trap. The most annoying thing about volatile markets is this kind of situation you mentioned.

This is the typical uncomfortable feeling of being caught in the middle. I've experienced this too. Wait, isn't this the market testing support and resistance levels? Be patient and watch for a breakdown. Chopping around still results in losses. It's better to exit first and take a breather. Getting stuck at a position is the most annoying; it's uncomfortable just to look at. Might as well clear the position and avoid overthinking. In this kind of fluctuation, just ride the waves. Holding on blindly will only lead to slow cuts.

Oh no, this is a typical case of being caught in the middle. I hate this kind of market that’s neither here nor there. Losing money feels uncomfortable everywhere, so just cut it directly. Wait, you went from 88888 all the way down to 86888, how exhausting must your mindset be? Instead of struggling, it's better to find a clear stop-loss point and stop gambling. This kind of volatility is the easiest way to lose everything, really.
