#Strategy加仓BTC Yesterday's Ethereum trend basically evolved as expected. I took a long position at 3285, but didn't anticipate there would be further downside in the second half of the night, dropping directly to around 3266. The stop-loss was set a bit tight, and I got swept out.

To be honest, the spike at 3266 looks like it has some breakout potential, but a closer look shows there was no effective breakout. From the current market situation, $ETH is still oscillating within the 3380-3270 range, so the strategy of shorting high and buying low can still be applied.

The rhythm of $BTC also needs attention. When the two coins move in tandem, the opportunity is greatest; otherwise, caution is advised. Continue observing and don't rush to act.

BTC0,33%

ETH1,83%

Got stopped out again, this wave is a bit annoying, but that spike at 3266 was indeed quite weak.

Oops, I got swept out again by the nighttime needle sweep. This feeling is truly incredible. Setting stop-losses too tight leads to this kind of outcome, lesson learned. That needle at 3266 looks intimidating, but it actually has no real significance, still swinging back and forth within the range. Wait for BTC's move; it's better to move both to make money. Going solo is unreliable.

Tightening stop-loss settings and getting swept, who hasn't experienced this? It's really painful.

Got stabbed again during the night? This is the crypto world—tighten your stop-loss, and you're immediately targeted. It still seems like we need to watch BTC's moves; otherwise, why chase the highs? That needle at 3266 was obviously fake, I could tell too. Just continue with the fluctuations.

Stop-loss wiped out, this is the art of the market. I also saw that needle at 3266, fake breakouts are just to trap people.

Got swept again? That's the fate of trading. If the stop-loss position is just a little off, everything is gone.

Got stopped out again, which is why I say you shouldn't set your stop-loss too tight... I also saw that needle at 3266, it is indeed a bit intimidating, but if it can't break through, it just can't break through; the data is right there.

Oh no, my stop-loss got hit again. This is the cost of trading within a volatile range. If BTC doesn't move, it's also hard for ETH to develop a trend. We just have to be patient and wait. I don't think the 3266 level is a real breakout; it looks fake.
