Gold continues to surge but encounters significant resistance at the 4642 level, so I chose to short at this key resistance point. The market then, as expected, faced pressure and retraced, dropping to around 4536. This move alone secured a profit of 106 points.

Interestingly, this wasn't luck-based. The overall approach is quite clear—tops are often the easiest to become greedy about, and the most important to be cautious of. By observing resistance signals and the technical characteristics of key levels, I identified the risks in this high-price zone and backed it up with solid profit data.

The markets for cryptocurrencies and traditional commodities have never lacked opportunities. What’s truly scarce is the ability to remain calm and make rational judgments during market frenzy. When the next wave of market activity begins, this logic will still be effective. Comparing recent Bitcoin performance, the game of risk assets in the market is far from over.

Is this all for 106 points? I thought it would be more hardcore. --- I've heard the top greed talk a hundred times, but the key is whether you can really hold back when doing it. --- Basically, it's the old routine of waiting for a pullback. How can luck be completely excluded? --- Now everyone is talking about calm judgment, but when the next round of maniacs starts going all in again. --- The line at 4642 for gold is indeed tightly pressed down, I can see that too. --- Bitcoin is still jumping around, the risk asset game hasn't settled yet. --- Who doesn't want stable profits? The question is whether it can be sustained.

Getting 106 points so easily? Sounds too simple... In actual operation, the psychological game at the pressure levels is the real hell. The key is to stay calm; too many people get greedy at the top and get trapped. Next time, wait for clearer signals from Bitcoin before following.

All the 106 points of profit were probably eaten up by fees, haha.

Interesting, 106 points are taken for granted, so I want to ask where the next 4642 is. It's the same narrative of using technical features to identify risks, letting the data speak. Wait, what about the lessons from history? Why aren't those accounts that rely on top operations for liquidation talking?

Scored 106 points, got the rhythm right The greedy ones at the top all died, staying calm is the key I also called this wave in gold, just wasn't as quick as you to act

106 points are satisfying, but can you always catch the bottom with this kind of top short position? Speaking of gold, this wave has indeed been quite fierce, but the real test is whether the next cycle can be replicated. Don't end up as a survivor bias... Staying calm and judging this matter is easier said than done. When the market is crazy, who wouldn't be tempted? I don't believe it.

Is 106 points really that satisfying? Damn, I need to control myself and not chase the highs. --- Greed at the top is truly a trap; stay calm. --- In times like these, how is Bitcoin moving... feels like a routine. --- Wait, can this logic really be reused, or do I need to re-analyze the market? --- Opportunities are plentiful in crypto, but it's hard to keep the right mindset... I just want to go all in. --- If 4642 can't be broken, then I have to run, simple and straightforward. --- It's comfortable to say it's not about luck, but who knows, haha. --- I just want to ask, when will the next 106 points come? --- Shorting at the top is indeed more comfortable than longing.

Talking about 106 points easily, but the key is how many people can actually stay at the top without greediness

106 points were taken directly, and short positions at the top are indeed the easiest to get caught off guard... This guy has a good mindset. --- Making money through calm judgment is much more comfortable than relying on luck. The key is that most people simply can't do it. --- The 4642 level was a bit tough to break, but a pullback to 4536 indeed validated the strategy. --- Bitcoin is still messing around here, while gold has already stabilized. Interesting. --- The warning about the top is correct, but it's really difficult to do in practice, even if it's said simply. --- The market isn't lacking, but what’s missing is a calm mind—that's the essence of trading.
