Many people ask me, how can I survive longer in the crypto world? My answer is simple—wealth is never in the K-line, but in how you respond to every turning point in the market. Your composure when others dump, your calm review after a sharp decline, and your courage to hold on after recognizing the risks—these are the true secrets to getting rich. During a bull market, everyone makes money; real experts are forged in bear markets.
Looking at Bitcoin on the four-hour chart, after reaching the previous high, the upward momentum has clearly weakened. The price is undergoing a technical correction, but buying interest at the key support levels below remains quite active, and no structural breakdown has occurred. Overall, it’s a high-level oscillation situation. But honestly, this is more like a temporary ceasefire between bulls and bears at critical points, not a trend reversal signal.
On the hourly chart, although it’s consolidating sideways and the lows are not making new lows, the bearish momentum has eased. However, you can see the oscillation range is gradually narrowing, which usually indicates that a direction choice is imminent. If volume cannot break through the upper resistance in the short term, over time, the bulls’ patience will gradually wear thin, and the price is likely to move downward to find support. Overall, the judgment should be cautious and slightly bearish.
Operational strategy: Consider short positions around 88,000 for Bitcoin, with a target of 85,000; similarly, for Ethereum around 2,970, with a target of 2,700.

Bear markets are the real university; bull markets are just opportunities for you to pay tuition.
Wait, short at 88000? If this wave rebounds, I’ll be laughing.
Sounds good, but the ones who really survive are probably those who withdrew early.
Willpower? Nonsense, it’s just gambling instinct, just that they happened to win.
Narrowing the range can break the trend? This theory is already outdated.
What’s there to hold on to? Cutting losses promptly is the real key. Don’t be brainwashed by these words.

Damn, this wave is going to crash again. I knew 88,000 wouldn't hold.

That's a nice way to put it, but the same old story—most people don't refine during a bear market; they get liquidated directly.
The 88,000 short position is a bit late; it should have been set up earlier.
I can't fully trust the technicals, but the 88 resistance is definitely there.
Living through a long bear market? Let's survive this wave first.
The hourly chart is narrowing, just waiting for a direction. I'll stick to this level and bet.
Last year, I tried a 2970 Ethereum short, but I got caught eventually.
This round of correction doesn't feel that simple; the bulls' resilience is stronger than expected.
Candlestick charts can't reveal the mindset; only holding positions can show true skill.
Can 85,000 really hold? I remain skeptical.

A short position of 88,000 is feasible, but the key is how the liquidity depth data looks around 88.2k... If the buy-side on the DEX isn't solid enough, the slippage risk is too high.

Laughing and then crying, the 88,000 short position started bleeding as soon as it was opened.
High-level volatility and quick direction changes are coming again—I've heard this last year...
Are the bulls running out of patience? I've long lost mine.
85,000? I bet you won't make it there.

Oh no, it's the same old rhetoric, staying calm and reviewing... The last time I bottomed out at a high level, it was with this kind of "resolve," and as a result, I got trapped until now.
Wait, 88,000 short positions? I don't think the head and shoulders pattern is fully confirmed yet, and the MACD hasn't even golden crossed, yet you're eager to go short. Is this wave going to slap my face again?
Sounds nice, wealth isn't in the candlesticks, then where are my losses over the past three months? Are they at my stop-loss levels? Haha

It sounds like they're talking about the mindset again, but I think the real answer is even more sobering — most people can't even endure the "refinement" stage, as they've already been wiped out by their own greed and fear.
