Reviewing my trades from yesterday, BTC rose from 84411 to 84998. I went long at 84500 and took profit at 84800, earning 300 points. But actually, I could have held longer because the resistance level was only at 84998. Why did I take profit early? Because I was afraid of giving back profits, which is a common problem among retail traders. After losing 200,000 U and recovering, my current principle is: let profits run, cut losses short. Now BTC is at 84753.8, support at 84635, resistance at 84998. I am lightly long near 84635, opening a 5000 U position, stop loss at 84500, target 84900. Never hold a position without a stop loss; this time I want to hold on. $BTC #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 JiuZong's Real Trading Exposure: $37 Million Position, Mastering "Less but Better" to the Extreme
Recently, this set of real trading data was shared, and many in the circle have been studying it repeatedly.
The total scale reached $37,482,412.97, with a direct profit of +$2.69 million in the last 30 days; a 30-day win rate of 72.22%, and the maximum drawdown tightly controlled at 6.63%.
The most striking aspect is not the size, but his extremely focused strategy: 60.06% BTC + 39.93% ETH, almost fully invested in the mainstream, without scattering bets or chasing various hot topics.
Looking back at the 30-day profit curve is even more revealing:
At one point, there was a floating loss exceeding $3.4 million, suffering a severe deep correction; but he didn’t just give up and sell off, instead he withstood the pressure and quickly recovered, continuously hitting new highs.
After a big rise, there was no big crash, which is the key point most ordinary people tend to overlook.
Digging into the latest few trades:
He consistently uses 4.5x range leverage, not blindly maxing out high leverage;
Enters in batches around 83,500 and 84,000, and gradually reduces positions in the 84,100–84,890 range;
He doesn’t go all in at once and hold to the death, but keeps large base positions steady while repeatedly doing swing trades with smaller positions.
Even for orders worth tens of millions, he executes entries and exits according to price ranges, rarely making emotional rushes.
Many people have a misconception:
To grow big, you have to keep digging new varieties and chasing new hype.
JiuZong’s approach offers another answer:
True stable strength is not about catching how many tenfold gains, but about repeatedly mastering two familiar assets to the extreme.$AVAX This round, I'm actually willing to take a closer look. It has risen about 50% in the past month, and the price has basically been flat this past week, still around 11.
After the rise, it’s temporarily stagnant, which I can accept. The key is whether the previous gains can be maintained.
Sometimes when watching the market, I get too anxious and always want a big bullish candle every day, but then I mistake the lack of continued rise as an imminent drop.
My judgment is that it’s still worth observing for now, but just because the weekly rise and fall are close to zero doesn’t mean the whole process is very stable.
Only if the subsequent pullbacks become shallower and the rebounds surpass the previous highs can the continued upward trend be more justified.
$ARB I’m not so optimistic for now. According to the evening data, the monthly gain is also about 50%, but it has already dropped more than 8% in the past week.
This shows that a good previous rise doesn’t mean buying in recently is comfortable.
If the reason for holding remains stuck on the previous rally, and the price weakens without adjusting expectations, it’s easy for short-term trading to turn into passive waiting.
I will first lower my expectations for a rebound and wait until it can recover the lost ground before reassessing.
$SEI The evening data shows a weekly drop of about 2.4%. Against a background of a roughly 52% monthly rise, the current pullback isn’t too much.
What’s worth watching is whether this resilience can continue.
But I won’t rush to add positions just because the drop is small, especially watching if it will suddenly drop further when the market falls again.
Being able to withstand the next pullback is more reassuring than the performance of the past day or two.24-hour Liquidation Data
BTC
Liquidations of $3.91 million (72% short positions). Below $80,715, long position liquidation intensity reached 1.045 billion; above $88,458, short position liquidation intensity reached 1.003 billion. Whales reduced about 30,000 BTC (2.52 billion USD) over the week, lowering exposure; Binance stablecoin inflow increased 40.6% over 30 days to $30.5 billion, buy-side momentum building.
ETH
Liquidations of $3.62 million (52% short positions). Below $2,554, long position liquidation intensity reached 730 million; above $2,797, short position liquidation intensity reached 654 million. Whales increased holdings against the trend by about 60,000 ETH (162 million USD). One whale holds 30,300 long positions with unrealized profit of $16.52 million, entry price $2,134.
ZEC
Liquidations of $2.24 million (51% long positions), over $66 million short position liquidations in the past 12 hours. Garrett Jin holds 38,000 ZEC short positions with unrealized loss of $33.83 million, liquidation price $4,790. Another whale opened 3,380 long positions with 10x leverage, liquidation price $1,275. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% Bitcoin has real whales accumulating, "pulse buying" from ETFs, and short-term holders' cost lines supporting from below. These are true.
But Bitcoin also has real problems: ETF inflows dropped from 1 billion to 30 million, super whales are reducing holdings, the sell wall above 85,000 is only "partially digested," short-term holders' profit margins are narrowing, and trading volume is only 6.4 billion — at a low since the ETF launch.
84,700 is not "building momentum." 84,700 is a stalemate where both bulls and bears are waiting for the other to move first. The wall at 85,000 has been partially eaten but not knocked down. The support at 82,500 has been tested twice but not broken.
Whoever moves first exposes themselves first. ETFs are waiting for the next pulse, whales are waiting for the unlock calendar to finish, and short-term holders are waiting for the cost line to hold.
You don't need to bet on direction at 84,700. You need to wait for a signal: a volume breakout above 85,500 or a drop below 82,500. Until then, sideways trading is just sideways trading.

Once this price is effectively broken, a total of $730 million long positions on major centralized exchanges will be liquidated.
This is an important leverage pressure zone for ETH at present. If the price breaks down, a large number of long contracts will be automatically sold at market price by the system, causing a long-liquidation cascade, further amplifying the downward momentum and causing short-term volatility to spike.
My view: This price level is not necessarily going to break, but it is a high-risk warning signal. Currently, market leverage is concentrated, and if U.S. Treasury bonds or BTC weaken in correlation, it can easily directly impact this support.
One point to distinguish: $730 million is the scale of long positions gathered near this price level, not necessarily all liquidated at once. The actual liquidation volume will be affected by market liquidity conditions.
From an operational perspective, contract traders need to pay close attention to the $2554 support, long positions must set stop losses, and avoid heavy positions; spot traders should also be wary of short-term irrational sell-offs caused by leverage liquidations.
Conversely, there is also a cluster of short position liquidations above. Once the price stabilizes and rebounds, it will trigger short stop losses and push the market up. The current market is fiercely contested between bulls and bears, and leverage risk cannot be ignored.
What do you all think? Can $ETH hold the $2554 support?The latest news has completely disrupted $STX and $WDC.
The reason is that Toshiba is going to expand production.
By mid-2027, they plan to invest 60 billion yen to double their current production capacity.
Previously, everyone thought expanding storage production was very difficult.
Even I used to say so.
But Toshiba's announcement has shattered everyone's assumptions.
It turns out expansion is that simple, doubling in just one year.
So why can they achieve this?
Because when we say expansion is difficult, we mean building a foundry from scratch—buying equipment, adjusting it, trial operations—step by step, which takes years.
But Toshiba is different. They only plan to add production lines to their existing factory in the Philippines, not build a new factory. So their expansion scale is faster.
In fiscal year 2025, Toshiba produced nearly 180EB of HDDs, of which 150EB were nearline HDDs. They expect this number to double to 300EB by fiscal year 2027.
Their current market share is about 10%, and they plan to increase it to 30%.
Moreover, while expanding production, they are also increasing hard drive capacity.
They will ship 30TB-34TB drives (with 11 disks) in 2026 and plan to ship 40TB-class drives (with 12 MAMR-based disks) in 2027, then transition to HAMR and ship 65TB-class drives in 2027. This is Toshiba's first large-scale expansion in nearly 5 years. $LITE $COHR $CRDO never had a core moat.
As optical chips shift from pluggable to CPO,
in this area, their advantage will be crushed by semiconductor manufacturers like Intel and TSMC.
If they enter the market, at least in optics,
the so-called two major North American giants have already been pushed to the margins.
There might still be some moat in the light source,
but it will be greatly weakened!Still cutting losses at 4 a.m.! Reckless hands on a weekend late night, must set rules for next week 🤡
Sunday morning, which should be a leisurely time for morning tea, but I’m here with heavy dark circles to review last night’s disaster. 🌞
The more carefree I was eating shrimp and drinking last night, the more miserable I was cutting losses at dawn today.
——————
Originally, I made a little money yesterday afternoon with $SOON, and planned not to trade over the weekend due to poor liquidity.
But I couldn’t sleep at midnight, and my hands started itching again.
First cut (Fig.1): 03:54 a.m., couldn’t hold the $CRV short position, cut losses and closed, losing -23.95% (7.93U loss).
Second cut (Fig.2): 04:19 a.m., reluctantly stopped loss on $ZEC short position, losing -14.25% (3.37U loss).
Two trades in one night, feeding the dog with more than ten U again. Combined with yesterday’s results, this weekend was a total waste. The 7x24 market really drained my last bit of energy.
——————
💡 Sunday recharge and new week outlook:
The lessons from the past few weeks are profound: decisions made late at night are most likely wrong.
Weekend liquidity is poor, and even a small amount of capital can create up-and-down spikes on the chart, specifically hunting retail traders like me who watch the market late at night and are emotionally fragile.
Today is Sunday, and I set two hard goals for myself:
1. Force a full exit to recharge: absolutely no new trades today, turn off the software, go downstairs for a walk, get some good sleep, and restore my mental state.
2. Make a new weekly plan: no more reckless moves late at night next week, all trades must have strict stop losses, and no heavy overnight positions.
💬 Brothers, how was your weekend battle?
Did you lose even more over the weekend than on weekdays like me?
How do you usually deal with this "late-night itchy hands" problem?

(Disclaimer: The above is only a personal trading review record and does not constitute any investment advice. Contract trading is highly risky, please pay close attention to risk control.) $ATOM IBC Connection Scale — The De Facto Monopoly of Cross-Chain Standards
While most Layer 1s are still discussing "cross-chain bridges," Cosmos' IBC protocol has quietly processed over $50 billion in transaction volume, connecting 115+ public blockchain networks. This is not marketing hype; it is on-chain verifiable data.
The core advantage of IBC lies in its trustless model — based on light client verification, requiring no third-party custody and no wrapped assets. Traditional cross-chain bridges essentially "custody assets with a centralized entity and then issue mapped assets on another chain," whereas IBC directly verifies the source chain state through cryptographic proofs, fundamentally eliminating custody risk.
A key change in 2026 is the launch of IBC v2. Version 2 significantly simplifies the protocol by removing complex handshake processes, making it possible to connect EVM chains and non-Cosmos ecosystems like Solana. Enterprise-grade IBC v2 Relayers now support full coverage connections including Cosmos-to-Cosmos, Cosmos-to-EVM, EVM-to-EVM, Solana-to-Cosmos, and Solana-to-EVM.
IBC is upgrading from a "Cosmos ecosystem internal tool" to an "industry-wide interoperability standard." When RWA assets need to flow cross-chain, IBC's trustless security model will become the institutional choice.
#OKX.ai：一个人就是一家世界级公司 Bitcoin is now around 84700. That voice in your head is asking: "The 85000 wall has been eaten, is it going to break through?"
First, answer three questions:
First, the 85000 sell wall was "eaten"—who ate it? Glassnode says the buy side absorbed the sell wall but doesn't say who the buyers are. Is it the ETF pulse buying? Mid-sized whales? Or short-term arbitrage funds? If it's short-term funds, the sell orders they ate will turn into new sell orders at higher prices.
Second, whales are reducing 30,000 BTC. Who is taking over? Santiment says addresses holding "10 to 10,000 coins are increasing their holdings." But the range "10 to 10,000 coins" is too broad. You don't know if it's the 10-coin holders buying or the 10,000-coin holders. If the buyers are "mid-sized whales" while "super whales" are still selling, this structure is fragile.
Third, where do you set your stop loss? From 84700 to 82500 is a 2.6% drop. 82500 is the breakeven zone for short-term holders and also a reinforced level at the lower Bollinger Band. If 82500 breaks, 80000 is the next psychological barrier. Meanwhile, from 84700 to 87200 is a 3% rise. The upside space is not much larger than the downside. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张After the non-farm payroll data was released, $BTC and $ETH first rose then fell.
BTC once surged to 87,000 but couldn't hold, quickly dropping back below 84,000; $ETH similarly spiked then retreated, with the intraday gains mostly given back.
September's non-farm payrolls increased by only 29,000, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, with previous values also revised. After the cooling of the job market, concerns about further tightening have eased, and there are no new obvious short-term negatives.
So for this pullback, I'm not in a hurry to be bearish. As long as key supports are not effectively broken, it looks more like a consolidation and rotation during an uptrend.
Next, I still won't chase highs but will wait for a pullback.
Patience is a gentle way to embrace life. We always think about rushing to the distance but overlook the beauty around us; we always want to reach the destination quickly but forget that the journey itself is also scenery.
Trading is the same—not every rise needs chasing, nor should every pullback cause panic. True opportunities that belong to you often require waiting.
$BTC: Watch the 82,500–81,500 range, consider longs after stabilization, with 80,500 as defense; upside targets 85,500–86,500, and after a breakout, 87,500–89,000.
$ETH: Watch the 2,620–2,570 range, with 2,530 as defense; targets 2,700–2,780–2,880.
Direction is only the first step; position, size, and execution are equally important.
Don't rush to prove yourself, nor fear missing out; patiently wait for your own opportunities.
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% 【I'm really not surprised by this ZEC pullback】
I've said before, $ZEC's price action is highly controlled; the crazier it rises, the bigger the room for a subsequent pullback. Looking back now, it increasingly resembles what I predicted.
It surged from a few hundred dollars to nearly $1700, pushing sentiment and capital to extremes. Now, with the spot ETF showing its first weekly net outflow of $93.6 million, and ZEC dropping over 20% from its highs, explaining the market by saying "institutions remain optimistic" feels a bit forced.
What concerns me more is whether real money will step back in. If the ETF continues to see outflows and spot buying can't keep up, this correction might be far from over. Conversely, if capital starts flowing in steadily again, it means someone is willing to catch this dip.
I wasn't interested in playing then, and I'm not keen on catching a falling knife now. For this ZEC move, let's first see how it squeezes out the previous bubble.Switching from crypto to US stocks, the easiest pitfalls to fall into
Many people involved in Crypto have started to also watch AI concept stocks, semiconductors, big tech, and the Nasdaq. But there's a key change when switching from crypto to US stocks: you can't just look at the price; you also have to consider events, macro factors, timing, and liquidity.
First, adapt to the timing: crypto trades 24/7 nonstop, while US stocks have pre-market, after-hours, and market holidays. Gap risk: a stock closed at 100 yesterday, then big news breaks overnight, and it might open at 110 the next day. There’s no continuous trading in between, which directly affects stop-loss orders.
For individual stocks, company events matter most; during earnings season, don’t just look at earnings per share. The market trades on expectation gaps: if expectations are fully priced in, even good data can cause a drop.
$BTC$ZEC has dropped to around $1300! After a surge, is this a consolidation or a peak?
ZEC previously surged all the way up, reaching a high near $1695, but it has now fallen back to around $1300.
The question is:
Is this just a normal pullback after the rise, or is this round of ZEC's rally really coming to an end?
From the daily chart perspective, the short-term trend has clearly weakened; the current price has fallen below MA7, MA14, and MA30, indicating significant selling pressure above.
But what I’m most focused on now isn’t "how much it has dropped," but whether the $1280–$1300 range can hold.
If it stabilizes near $1300: If it can climb back above $1340, there is still a chance for a short-term rebound, with the next key target between $1380 and $1400.
If it clearly breaks below $1280: Then this correction may deepen further, with support to watch around $1200 or even $1150. The market has recently been affected by outflows from Zcash-related ETFs and leveraged liquidations, so short-term sentiment is indeed cautious.
So, $ZEC is now at a very critical point:
Is $1300 the starting point for the next rebound, or just a pause in the downtrend?
Do you think $ZEC can climb back above $1400?Polymarket's BTC 2026 price prediction contract heat has surged, with market trading volume reaching $72.6 million. Current market pricing: 39% probability that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 within the year.
Many people directly take this probability as a market target, but my view is that this is essentially a collective sentiment formed by capital competition, not a market prophecy. In prediction markets like Polymarket, participants bet real money, and the probability fluctuates in real time with BTC's current price, U.S. Treasury yields, and ETF capital inflows and outflows. When prices rise, the probability increases; during pullbacks, it quickly falls.
A 39% probability means the market believes hitting $100,000 within the year is not a high-probability event, more of an optimistic scenario. Over 60% of the capital believes BTC will not reach that price in 2026. This also indirectly reflects the huge current market divergence: bulls expect institutional funds to continuously push up the coin price, while bears fear the macro pressure brought by high U.S. Treasury yields and recurring inflation.
Key reminder: This contract only determines "whether $100,000 is briefly touched," not the year-end closing price. Prediction markets can only be used as sentiment references and should not be directly used for trading decisions. Macro variables can rewrite probabilities at any time, so do not rely solely on this data for heavy positions or leverage.
What do you all think, does $BTC have a chance to reach $100,000 this year? No new impulse, no new thrust.
Fourth card: The cost line of short-term holders is approaching the current price from below
Looking at on-chain data, this is the easiest to overlook but the most fatal signal.
Within the week starting September 24, the realized price of short-term holders (holding coins for less than 155 days) rose from $72,800 to $73,700, a weekly increase of 1.2%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin price was consolidating around 84,000.
The realized price of short-term holders is the average buying cost of this group. The market price being above the cost line means they are still overall profitable. But this "profit margin" is being compressed:
· One week ago, the unrealized profit rate of short-term holders was 15.4%.
· Now, 13.7%.
The compression is not due to a price drop, but because their buying cost is rising. Someone has been continuously buying at 83,000, 84,000, 85,000, pushing the average cost higher. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 US September nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000, unemployment rate rose to 4.2%
Nonfarm payrolls seriously missed expectations, yet the crypto market plunged for three reasons:
First, doubts about data credibility. The 29,000 figure is too absurd; the previous two months were revised down by a total of 60,000. The market suspects the data itself is problematic and is reluctant to act bullishly.
Second, recession concerns outweigh rate hike benefits. Weak employment indicates weakening economic vitality; recession fears are scarier than rate hikes. There is no clear recession signal yet, but if AI fails to drive the economy, subsequent risks will truly emerge.
Third, the good news has been priced in, an old routine. Many spot and long positions were already set before the data; market makers won’t push prices up, using the news to shake out positions, which is healthy.
The bullish long-term trend remains unchanged for now; BTC 83-85 is strong support, ETH pullbacks can be used as opportunities to position. Don’t chase highs, wait for a retracement.

Saturday, Friday's rebound is gone again.
$BTC around $84.7K
After surging to $86.3K, it fell back, with the weekly low at $82.8K and the high still at $87.4K.
$85.2K didn't hold, the crash level below remains $80K.
$ETH around $2,680
Encountered resistance at $2.76K, support below at $2.60K.
The key is still the closing price at $2.77K.
$XRP around $1.48
High at $1.54, low at $1.46.
Upper resistance remains at $1.66, support at $1.46, breaking below looks to $1.35.
The employment report also brought no volatility, the weekend market is very thin.
About $430 million liquidations, mostly long positions.
Don't buy recklessly on Sunday, watch the close on Monday: $85.2K / $2.77K / $1.66.Regarding $SOL, I’d rather first ask a somewhat uncomfortable question: Are we seeing a genuine trend now, or a trend that has already been priced in prematurely?
Currently, the 1-hour trading volume is only 0.39 times the average volume of the previous 20 bars, with both 1-hour and 4-hour charts showing strength. The direction seems consistent, but participation is low; a breakout without volume support often requires the next candle to confirm.
The current price is 119.69, about 0.98% above the 1-hour support at 118.52, and about 0.33% below the resistance at 120.09. Here, it’s not a lack of directional guesses, but a lack of sustained price movement beyond these boundaries.
The direction of $SOL looks smooth, but the volume is casting doubt on this move.
For now, my conclusion is conditional. My observation line is clear: only by reclaiming and holding above 120.09 can the short-term initiative be considered regained; if it breaks below 118.52, attention should shift to the 4-hour support at 116.73. If pressure continues above, the 4-hour resistance at 123.76 is only a distant reference for now, not a preset target.
To continuously track this segment, just remember 120.09 and 118.52. I will come back in the next round to check if the market has overturned this judgment.
When direction and insufficient volume conflict, which do you trust more?
The market is volatile; the above is only an observation of the market and does not constitute investment advice. This is from Coin Circle NiuNiu.Third card: ETF money has changed from "1 billion per day" to "30 million per day"
Looking at ETF capital flow, this is the most direct "buying temperature gauge."
On September 21, the US spot Bitcoin ETF had a single-day net inflow of 999 million USD, the highest in nearly a year. On September 22, it was 715 million. In two days, 1.7 billion.
Then?
On September 28, net inflow dropped to 24 million USD. On September 30, net outflow was 139 million USD. On October 1, net inflow rebounded to 102.7 million USD, with BlackRock IBIT contributing 196 million, but this was partially offset by outflows from other funds.
Glassnode's data is very clear: spot ETF capital net inflows have significantly declined from the high in late September. To confirm a demand rebound later, a net inflow of about 1 billion USD needs to appear again — and the closest to this number currently is the 999 million on September 21.
That was 12 days ago. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 $WLFI WLFI Token Positioning
Official clarification: WLFI cannot receive any profit distribution; its sole function is governance voting. Unlike some tokens, it does not share protocol profits or pay dividends.
💰 Project Revenue
Although the WLFI token does not distribute profits, the World Liberty Financial project earns real money through the USD1 stablecoin:
Interest income: USD1 reserves (such as U.S. Treasury bonds) generate interest, with expected annual revenue close to $150 million.
Revenue allocation: These revenues belong to the project company. Entities related to the Trump family hold about 38%-40% equity and take 75% of the net proceeds from token sales.
⚠️ Key Misalignment
Moreover, Binance rewards USD1 holders monthly with 10%-30% rewards paid in WLFI tokens.
USD1 holders can immediately liquidate the WLFI tokens they receive as rewards.
Therefore, this token does not have a promising future.
It merely makes WLFI holders pay the price.
This creates an awkward situation: you buy WLFI to vote, but the project's earnings mainly flow to shareholders (such as the Trump family), who fund USD1. Large holders of USD1 receive rewards paid in WLFI tokens, rather than WLFI holders bearing the cost.
So strictly speaking: WLFI tokens have no income rights, but the WLFI project does have income, which just sustains USD1.Let me tell you, BTC is currently at 84753.8. I almost chased a long position at 84900 just now, but luckily I held back. Think about it, the resistance at 84998 is right ahead, if you chase in, the stop loss has to be set at 85100, with a target of only 85200, the risk-reward ratio is less than 1:1. Isn't that just giving money away? I lost 200,000 U trying to recover, now I've learned my lesson. I'll wait for a pullback to the 84635 support level before entering, opening a position with 5000 U, stop loss at 84500, target at 84900, risk-reward ratio 2:1. Never hold a position without a stop loss, take it slow, steady is fast. $BTC #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% SOL's “Institutional Bull” and “Market Cooldown”: Why is $120 Stuck?
SOL is stuck near $120, not because the narrative has faded, but due to a temporary mismatch between chip distribution and momentum.
On one side, institutional lines continue to increase: Fiserv's digital asset platform has launched, with over 90 banks in North Dakota using Solana to complete Roughrider Coin instant settlements; spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 11 consecutive weeks, with $188 million last week setting a new record; Q3 non-voting transactions reached 14.2 billion, a 45% quarter-on-quarter increase. On-chain activity and compliant funds are both providing medium- to long-term support.
On the other side, the market has entered a compression phase: the price is squeezed between $118 support and $124.95 resistance, MACD bars have returned to zero, mathematically balancing bulls and bears; RSI is around 65, buyers still have the advantage, but the pace of advance is slowing. More critically, long positions are crowded, with no new upward volume and a downside that easily triggers liquidation cascades. Coupled with the US adding only 29,000 non-farm jobs in September and unemployment rising to 4.2%, risk appetite remains cautious.
Therefore, “institutions buying but price not rising” is not contradictory: ETFs and bank settlements are slow variables, while short-term prices are determined by leverage and liquidity pricing. Long-term positions can continue to be held as fundamentals have not weakened.
I am not chasing short-term moves. Waiting for two confirmations: a daily volume breakout above $130, indicating resistance has been overcome; or a drop below $117.44 accompanied by liquidation volume, which could be a better mid-term buying opportunity. In the current compression range, patience is more important than direction. 90% of people lose 90% of their money in the first 90 days
There is a rule of thumb in the trading community that many people are reluctant to talk about: 90% of traders lose 90% of their capital within the first 90 days.
You might think losses are due to a lack of technical knowledge. But in reality, many doctors, lawyers, and engineers enter the market—successful in their own fields—yet still lose money once they sit in front of the screen. The reason is simple: trading is not directly related to intelligence.
What it truly tests is how you handle your relationship with uncertainty. Most people enter the market seeking certainty, wanting to predict the market and prove their judgments right, but the market operates on probabilities. The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it has never been about knowledge.

The label "whale" is defined too broadly. Holding from 10 to 10,000 coins covers the entire range from "small whales" to "super whales." These two sets of data might be describing different aspects of the same situation.
One possible explanation is: "mid-sized whales" holding 10 to 100 BTC are accumulating, while "super whales" holding over 1,000 BTC are reducing their holdings. The buying volume of mid-sized whales (41,025 BTC) exceeds the selling volume of super whales (30,000 BTC), resulting in a net "overall whale accumulation."
But you need to look closely: the 30,000 BTC sold by super whales—was it picked up by "another group of whales" or by retail investors?
Another set of data from Santiment provides the answer: retail wallets holding less than 0.01 BTC have "barely moved" in the past 10 days.
Retail investors are staying put. Mid-sized whales are absorbing the coins sold by super whales. This is the microstructure behind the 84,700 sideways movement: chips are being redistributed within the "whale tier," retail investors are not participating, and ETF buying is slowing down. $ZEC $BTC $ETH #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 Institutional funds are quietly withdrawing, and there is a clear divergence between the market trend and capital.
Recently, $BTC and $ETH ETFs have both seen net outflows, with institutions taking profits during this rebound. The current rise is not driven by large capital; it is purely intra-market funds speculating on themes back and forth.
Although prices are rising, there is no incremental capital supporting the bottom, like water without a source. Existing funds rotate to speculate on altcoins; once one sector rises, the funds leave, resulting in very poor sustainability.
Once the heat subsides, the correction will come very quickly, especially for altcoins, which surge fiercely but fall mercilessly.
#BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% I entered the circle in 2016 and stayed until 2026. I realized that some big shots who told me to persist in holding Bitcoin were absolutely right. Looking back over these 10 years, I see how many so-called unknown small coins I bought hoping to get rich quickly, but without exception, they all crashed terribly. And the shitcoin that surged the most, I didn't hold on to it—I got thrown off halfway. It's all damn fate. If I had just honestly done dollar-cost averaging with Bitcoin, I could have earned several times the returns. It's all damn deserved! Slow is fast, fast is slow. $BTC When the buy orders consumed part of the sell orders between 85000 and 85500, the remaining sellers chose to retreat. What does this mean?
The sell wall at 85000 might not be a "long-term bearish" position but a "short-term arbitrage" position. They placed orders around 85000, betting that "the price will pull back when it reaches here." When the buy orders actually consumed their orders, they didn’t fight the market but withdrew immediately.
This is not a "breakout," it’s a "test." The result of the test is: buyers are willing to take positions between 85000 and 85500. But the test result does not mean "85000 has become support."
Second card: some whales are selling, but another group of whales are buying. Who do you trust?
This is the most divisive part around the 84700 level.
On one side, whales are reducing holdings. Crypto analyst Ali cited Santiment data: in the past week, Bitcoin whale holdings decreased by about 30,000 BTC, worth approximately 2.52 billion USD. Large holders are reducing their Bitcoin exposure. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 Who got harshly caught by the nonfarm payroll illusion last night😮💨
After reviewing the market, I have many thoughts. This employment report clearly leans bullish. The new jobs added were only 29,000, far below market expectations, previous employment figures were revised down, and the unemployment rate slightly rose to 4.2%. On paper, this would easily make people anticipate easing policies.
But the market staged a bull trap, briefly surging before quickly falling back. Retail investors rushing to chase the rally were instantly trapped at the highs.
BTC surged rapidly to around 87,200 before selling pressure hit, dropping the price to 85,500. Several short-term moving averages turned downward. Next, watch the key support at 84,200.
ETH had been gradually rising, but after touching 2,777, it quickly gave back all gains, falling back near 2,700. If this level doesn't hold, 2,640 will soon be tested.
Looking overseas, uncertainties also lurk. The Nasdaq once hit a bright new high, then reversed to test the 7400 level. Whether this level holds will determine if the short-term strength in US stocks can continue.
I've slowly come to realize one thing: the biggest risk in trading is often not sudden bad news, but the good news everyone can see. When the news breaks, it's often the moment many funds choose to exit.
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 $BTC $ETH $ZEC $ZEC ETF funds face pressure from large weekly outflows.
The Grayscale Zcash Spot ETF (ZCSH) recorded a single-day net outflow of $28.259 million on October 1, with a cumulative weekly redemption reaching as high as $93.56 million. This marks the first weekly net outflow since the ETF's launch in August, with cumulative net inflows dropping from $233 million to about $144 million. Continuous large outflows are one of the direct drivers of the current short-term pressure.
Hacker rumors cause sentiment impact greater than actual effect.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged approximately 2,746 ZEC (about $3.9 million) flowing from addresses linked to the Bitget hacker into the Zcash privacy pool. Bitget was hacked for about $387 million on September 24, with the CEO stating the attack characteristics align with North Korean hacker groups. The $3.9 million scale is relatively limited and likely not the trigger for the day's decline, but it added extra pressure on market sentiment.
Long-term fundamentals continue to improve
NU7 upgrade enters testnet: The Zcash Foundation released Zebra 7.0.0-rc.0, activating the NU7 upgrade on the public testnet, reducing block confirmation time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, and introducing a network sustainability mechanism—60% of transaction fees go into the reserve fund, 40% to miners.
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% First card: The 85,000 sell wall — is it "accumulation" or "distribution"?
Let's look at the data first.
Glassnode clearly pointed out in their weekly report: On Binance's spot order book, a large number of sell orders have piled up in the 85,000 to 85,500 range. The scale of this sell wall has tripled since September 24. The price has approached this range multiple times but has never broken through.
Think about what this means.
The sell wall doubling is not a "coincidence." Someone is systematically and continuously placing sell orders between 85,000 and 85,500. This is not retail behavior. Retail investors don't repeatedly place orders at the same price level.
Then what?
On October 2, Glassnode confirmed: the buy side "digested" the 85,000 sell wall overnight, and the remaining sell orders were withdrawn. The exact words were: "With reduced sell-side liquidity above, the price may accelerate upward."
Part of the sell orders were eaten up, and the rest withdrew. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 Sideways with no momentum, is everyone holding back?
Yesterday, the 2660 level fluctuated up and down for a while, then pulled back and has been oscillating narrowly sideways since, barely moving.
Today will most likely continue sideways, probably won't reach key levels. If it doesn't reach them, just wait; don't create unnecessary trades.
The sideways movement is tightening with decreasing volatility, which is rare recently. Strength and weakness indicators are all neutral, and different timeframes point in inconsistent directions.
This kind of suppression won't last forever. The tighter the squeeze, the stronger the breakout — it's just been holding back for so long.
The data is interesting too. Big players are covering longs, but fees and basis are still retreating; some are buying, some are withdrawing.
Price is stuck in the middle; no one dares to move first.
The range is narrowing, volume is steadily decreasing, highs and lows are converging toward the center. Just waiting for a trigger.
So don't rush to trust the first move.
🤖 Few trades yesterday. The short opened in the morning was closed by noon with a decent result. The rest were small losses from gradually selling off longs — in a sideways market, bulls don't have much profit to begin with. Hands are clean, waiting to see.
How long will it stay sideways today?

Content is only my personal review, not investment advice.Geopolitical risks are rising again, and risk assets are holding tight first
The news this weekend is unusually quiet, but quiet doesn’t necessarily mean easing.
The latest development is that senior US officials held a closed-door security meeting at Camp David, focusing on the next steps in the Middle East situation and regional conflict risks. The White House refused to comment after the meeting, but combined with this week’s plans to deploy a third aircraft carrier and air defense systems in the Middle East, it’s easy for the public to imagine a more tense direction.
At times like this, the market fears not bad news, but uncertainty itself—risk assets tend to hold tight first, and as risk aversion heats up, capital will be more cautious. During periods of geopolitical uncertainty, controlling position sizes and avoiding heavy leverage is more practical than trying to guess the direction.
$BTC$ZEC is at a critical juncture of intense competition between a high-level technical correction and long-term fundamental improvements after an epic surge.
High-level pullback, bears dominate short-term
ZEC is currently trading around $1,304, up slightly by 0.08% in 24 hours, with a 24-hour high of $1,334 and a low of $1,283.
Daily level: Since the peak of $1,697, it has been continuously falling with consecutive bearish candles, breaking below the $1,400 and $1,500 psychological levels. From the late September high, the cumulative pullback is about 23%. However, the 90-day gain still reaches +188%, and the 180-day gain is +391%, indicating the mid-term uptrend structure is not completely broken.
4-hour level: The price forms a clear descending channel with lower highs, and the MACD remains in a death cross state. The RSI has fallen to a neutral zone at 50.2, while the ADX remains high at 52, reflecting a lagging effect after the previous sharp rise. The 50-day EMA is still above the 200-day EMA, indicating a moderately strong mid-to-long-term trend, but if the downtrend continues, the two lines may gradually converge and signal weakening.
Order book: Near $1,304, buy orders total only 0.336 ZEC, while sell orders total 4.992 ZEC, showing very weak buying support and absolute dominance of active selling pressure.
Key levels:
Resistance above: $1,410, previously support turned resistance; reclaiming this level could restore upward momentum.
Support below: $1,233 is a key short-term watershed; a daily close below this level significantly increases the probability of testing lower supports.On the surface, everyone is shouting that the bull market is back, but the derivatives side is unusually quiet. Why do I pay more attention to the contract market's sentiment when the spot market is getting livelier? There's a subtle sense of misalignment in the market these past two days. BTC and ETH spot ETFs have simultaneously turned to net outflows, indicating a cooling of capital enthusiasm, yet the market sentiment still tells the story of a mid-bull market. The US added only 29,000 jobs in September, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. Such data should have eased risk appetite, but the crypto space did not immediately embrace this dovish expectation. What I care more about are the signals from positions and funding rates. When prices are sideways but funding rates remain persistently positive, it means the bulls are still paying to hold their positions, and leverage hasn't truly been cleared. The biggest risk in this structure isn't a drop, but rather a squeeze of the longs followed by a short squeeze, sweeping back and forth. High-beta assets like SOL, ZEC, and UNI are often the first to be squeezed; their elasticity is high, and their vulnerabilities are exposed faster. The bullish path is also clear: if ETF outflows are just short-term rebalancing, a weaker nonfarm payroll strengthens rate cut expectations, and BTC can hold key levels, then ETH and major altcoins will follow suit in recovery, with capital willing to take on risk again. But this path depends on leverage cooling off first, not propping up with new narratives. The potential risk is that the market may have already priced in some of the rate cut expectations. If funding rates don't drop and positions don't reduce, any data reversal or continued ETF outflows could trigger a chain reaction of deleveraging. At that time, what falls won't be logic but positions. My current pace is: no rush to chase, first watch if the funding rates change $BTC On-chain signals show a rare accumulation pattern reemerging
CryptoQuant's Bitcoin accumulation trend chart displays a sharp contraction in the volatility range, a pattern extremely rare in history—similar contraction occurred from April 17 to 20, 2025, when BTC was around $84,000, then the price climbed to near $109,000; the second contraction from March 5 to 8 also accompanied a price increase.
Glassnode analysis points out that sell orders near $85,000 have been executed or proactively withdrawn, causing a significant reduction in sell pressure concentration above, making liquidity less apparent. This indicates a fundamental reversal in the market's supply and demand dynamics
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% Today's trade was just one — $LTC contract, pocketed +$51. After selling it, it surged again; saying I don't regret it would be a lie. But looking at the order book, the short-term resistance at $71.46 is right there, and the strong resistance at $72.91 is just a bit over a dollar away. With double resistance stacked together, it's right to not linger at this position. Contracts are about taking your share and leaving the rest to others.
This wave of $LTC isn't that simple. On October 1, the Litecoin Foundation signed a memorandum with Greywick Digital to launch cLTC — a reserve-backed tokenized product for the institutional trading platform Canton Network, with the mainnet launching by year-end. This won't pump the price in the short term, but the narrative has changed; $LTC is squeezing into institutional infrastructure. Looking at derivatives data, top traders hold a net long position ratio of 72%, with a long-short ratio of 2.57, indicating a bullish bias. But retail bulls are also at 68.1%, both sides on the same side — either a short squeeze will send it flying or a shakeout will clear all crowded positions. RSI is at 69.40, just one step from overbought, MACD histogram is flat, and the oscillators are "holding breath." So I don't regret selling at that point — the risk-reward ratio was no longer favorable.
Looking at today's macro picture, there's a lot of information.
Nonfarm payrolls bombed. September added only 29,000 jobs versus an expected 90,000, August was revised down from 133,000, unemployment rose to 4.2%, and monthly wage growth dropped to 0.13%. Once the data came out, Bitcoin jumped directly from the 84K area to 87,000, rising over 3% intraday, then retreated to around 86,700. But on-chain daily reports show BTC surged to 87.2K then sharply dropped below 84K, with liquidations across the network approaching $600 million. Sharp rises and falls — a classic nonfarm payrolls gamble.
ETF side is even more interesting. $BTC spot ETF still had a net inflow of 102.67 million on October 1, but $ETH spot ETF has seen outflows for three consecutive days, with 55.4 million outflow in a single day. Funds are differentiating between $BTC and $ETH, not a full retreat but making choices. Combined with today's Fear & Greed Index at 71, still in the greed zone but down 2 points from yesterday. Greed is ebbing, not panic, but hesitation.
$SOL has surpassed 120, up 25% in a month, with DApp daily revenue at 6.04 million, surpassing Ethereum, Hyperliquid, and BSC combined. Forward Industries bought nearly 949,000 $SOL last quarter, holding 8.5 million tokens, accounting for 1.4% of circulating supply. Someone is putting real money in, not just talking bullish. I’m keeping the $250 target for now, but don’t treat it as faith or discipline.
On the geopolitical front, G7 announced releasing up to 100 million barrels of strategic reserves; oil prices first plunged then rebounded, WTI closed above 91, Brent held above 100. The release can suppress short-term oil prices but can't contain the root of US-Iran tensions. This variable remains; don’t assume it’s gone.
Back to trading itself. In today's market, the back-and-forth makes rhythm especially easy to lose. Volatility expanded around nonfarm payrolls, LTC is stuck below double resistance; short-term traders fear greedily chasing the last bit at such positions. I took what I should and left. Not every market needs to be fully eaten; those who do often end up paying the bill.
Control your hands, stick to your plan — better than anything else.
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张，G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 At 11:30 PM on October 2nd, Arbitrum quietly did something: it stopped the activation of the new Stylus contract.
It's not that hackers have succeeded, but they are afraid. AI-assisted attacks specifically target compiler toolchains. The official statement says no money has been lost yet, but they closed the door first.
To put it plainly, this is a defensive move, not an accident.
The problem is, this move itself has a cost. New projects can't launch, ecosystem activity will be discounted, and before DoS attacks even come, they have already stepped on the rhythm themselves.
My anger is not directed at the security committee—they should defend when necessary. What angers me is that AI is now even mass-producing on-chain attacks, and project teams can only passively take the hits. Today they stop Stylus, what will be stopped tomorrow?
The most common mistake retail investors make is to panic sell at the sight of the word "pause." This time it’s not a theft, it’s prevention.
To be honest: security is something that no one praises before an incident, and no one compensates after an incident.

After washing off the cement dust on my hands, I sat down late at night to review today's market sectors. The upper Bollinger Band is stuck at 2689.75, the current price 2688.07 is almost propping up the scaffolding by force. Looking at the 1-hour RSI, it’s exactly stuck at 52.0, neither up nor down; the sand-to-cement ratio hasn’t solidified at all, and this mortar strength simply can’t support a large-span slab.
Reviewing the daytime movement, the middle Bollinger Band at 2683.42 barely provided temporary support, but the lower band at 2677.09 is like a shallow foundation pit. Many rushed to enter the market to grab the schedule at the slightest rebound, which is illegal operation. Without a foundation reaching the bedrock, no matter how neatly the bricks are laid above, it’s a dangerous building; even a slight settlement difference will cause a total collapse.
Concrete that hasn’t been vibrated and compacted is full of air pockets; once it touches the upper formwork, collapse is instantaneous. This trade is made according to high-altitude installation standards, only focusing on the downward segment during structural deformation under load.

#CoinMoveAlertHave you noticed the subtle changes in the current market✨
BTC, ETH, and ZEC are still fluctuating uncertainly; attempts to push upward always meet resistance, while downward moves see visible capital support. However, overall market sentiment is noticeably weaker compared to a few days ago.
Many altcoins occasionally surge sharply, and such sudden moves can easily tempt one to impulsively enter short positions. But I still have open positions that I haven't closed yet, and rushing to open new trades can easily cloud my judgment.
I plan to observe quietly for now, prioritizing waiting for profit-taking opportunities on my existing positions to lock in some gains and reduce my risk exposure. Once I have freed up capital and energy, I will pay attention to those small-cap coins that show weak volume after surges, patiently waiting for reliable right-side entry signals rather than blindly guessing and trying to catch the top.
From a macro perspective, the outlook is also cautious: weak non-farm payroll data, rising unemployment, gradual outflows from spot ETFs, combined with geopolitical tensions and the G7 potentially releasing up to 100 million barrels of reserves, create many uncertainties.
In such a complex phase, staying calmly in the market is far more important than rushing to chase short-term profits.

$BTC $ETH $ZEC Brothers, look at my three positions, even I find them a bit outrageous.
$ZEC short, profit 475%.
$SNDK short, profit 90%.
$ETH short, profit 166%.
All three directions are shorts.
All three trends show daily-level bearish alignment, MACD death cross, green bars getting longer and longer.
None are against the trend; all are following the trend.
But when I opened them, I didn’t think that much.
I’ve always felt this rate hike script is very similar to the last round.
The current rise is all preparation for unloading later.
When the next rate hike lands, it will mark the start of the end for this bull market.
Look now, bad news keeps coming; non-farm payrolls can’t pull up, ETFs are flowing out, whales are running.
But the market is still holding on, still pretending the bull is back.
This contrast is actually the most dangerous signal.
The current decline is not the end, it’s the beginning.
So my current thought is simple; I’m ready to hold these three positions for a while.
ZEC target is 1000
ETH target is 2100
SNDK target is 1300
No rush to close, no reckless moves.
Stop losses are set, the rest is up to time.

#US September non-farm payrolls only increased by 29,000, unemployment rate rose to 4.2%
#BTC, ETH spot ETFs simultaneously turning to outflows, capital heat cooling downFor the first time in 13 years, the Bank of Korea is going to stockpile physical gold
The Bank of Korea will resume purchasing physical gold in December, marking the first time in 13 years. The channel for resuming purchases was actually confirmed in August, and the announcement on September 30 only revealed the timing and scale, clearly not a last-minute decision.
The schedule is: in Q2, it first bought $250 million worth of gold ETFs, and in December plans to purchase about 1 ton of domestically produced gold, approximately 200 billion KRW. Although 1 ton doesn't sound like much, accounting for only 2.2% of the country's annual gold production, the policy signal is significant.
Currently, the challenges faced are not only geopolitical risks but also inflation caused by rising energy prices and debt risks from the government's high deficit. For institutions, where there is risk, prevention is necessary.

This is not some modern financial game; it's clearly another perfect carbon-14 dating of the pre-Common Era tulip mania and South Sea bubble in the blockchain strata. Those reckless maniacs blindly chasing highs last night have already become the latest sacrificial victims buried in this new layer of rammed earth.
The upper Bollinger Band at 85012 is like a crack in the dome of the ancient Roman Pantheon, utterly unable to bear the bulls' delusional ambitions. The 1-hour RSI hovers at 47.0; the rammed earth layer of the strata is seriously loosened, and the support at the middle band 84751 is as fragile as a weathered clay tablet from three thousand years ago.
Collecting this generous excavation reward, I must restrain my greed like handling fragile pottery and immediately push the defensive line downward.

#CoinMoveAlert🔥 The non-farm payrolls report delivered a big surprise, BTC surged, but it's not that simple!
September added only 29,000 jobs, far below the expected 90,000, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.
The market quickly lowered its expectations for an October rate hike, and BTC jumped from around 83,000 to 87,250 in one go.
But don't rush to call the bull market back.
Weaker employment indeed fuels expectations for rate cuts, but if it worsens into a recession, risk assets could still come under pressure.
Moreover, spot ETFs for $BTC and ETH have simultaneously seen outflows; whether funds return is more important than a single non-farm data release.
So what we really need to watch now isn't "whether it can surge," but:
Is there volume behind the surge? Is there capital supporting the rise?
Even if October's historical performance is strong, it's just a bonus, not a confirmation of a trend.
For the big players to start the next leg of the market, it ultimately depends on the Federal Reserve, interest rates, the dollar, and capital flows.
Don't let your first reaction to the non-farm report become your final conclusion.
The above is just my personal market observation and does not constitute trading advice.

#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% SAND is now around 0.08. That voice in your head is asking: "It rose from 0.048 to 0.084, up 77%, can it still be chased?"
First, answer three questions.
First, after the Studio Engine public beta, what is the "value capture" mechanism of SAND?
An analysis said very accurately: "Hollywood Hills brings ecological heat but does not establish a value capture mechanism for SAND." SAND is the "closed-loop token" of The Sandbox ecosystem—buy LAND, buy assets, pay creators, stake, govern, and in-game payments. But how much "token demand" these uses generate depends on how many real users and transaction volumes the platform has.
The Sandbox's player retention rate "is still relatively low," and creator income is "highly uneven." Whether Studio Engine can solve these problems will only be known after the public beta in October.
Second, at the 0.084 level, how many shorts are still holding on above?
Open interest of $1.465 billion is 6.4 times the market cap. This means the derivatives market is still extremely crowded. If the price continues to rise, a short squeeze can continue. If the price falls back, those positions chasing longs at 0.06 and 0.07 will become the next batch of fuel.

On October 1, MetaMask discovered that its validator block rewards were mistakenly directed to wallets associated with Tornado Cash, causing 17,000 validators to exit, involving over 523,000 staked ETH (approximately $1.4 billion).
As a result, the Ethereum validator exit queue surged to 850,000 ETH, with the waiting time extended to 14.77 days, both the highest in 2026. Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the Litecoin mining pool, pointed out that these hoarders may believe the current coin price is high enough and need to sell to lock in profits $ETH

During repeated fluctuations in the session, every time PROS surges, it falls just short, volume doesn't keep up, and no one catches PROS on the way up, so short positions continue to hold.
From 0.7445 down to 0.7160, a +77.09% gain secured, this profit feels good.
First lock in 80%, protect the remaining 20% at cost price, let the profit run if it continues to drop, and if it rebounds, don't give back the gains. Don't be greedy for the last bit; take profits when it's time.
Better to miss a limit-up than to catch a falling knife and bleed. Don't let profits inflate, don't despair over pullbacks. For those not yet in, don't rush; now is not the time to jump in. Wait for the next signal. The market isn't short on opportunities, it's short on patience.
