Good morning everyone. It is now after 10 AM, and Bitcoin is fluctuating around 3303. My view is that this level can be considered for adding to long positions directly, aiming to take profit in the 3335-3360 range. Then, reverse and set up short positions. If there is no significant volatility, we can continue to oscillate back and forth.

For long positions, set the stop loss at 3270. As long as it does not break below this support level, you can confidently hold the long position. This support below is quite solid, and once it rebounds, the momentum can be quite strong. The 3360 level above is a recent resistance, and a breakout would depend on how the subsequent market develops.

Short-term contract trading emphasizes mindset and execution. After setting your take profit and stop loss, do not frequently change your orders or get scared out by oscillations. That’s just how the market is—some make money, some lose. Sticking to your trading plan is the most important.

3303 heavy long position? Bro, I need to take another look at this support level. Last time I did this, I almost got washed out. By the way, I like your mindset teaching. Too many people are scared off by the volatility, and their own plans end up being wasted. Can this wave really break through 3360? It feels like there's quite a bit of pressure. Is it possible to drop below 3270 directly? What do you think about the risk here? I agree with not changing the order; those who change orders are all losing money. Wait, are you talking about trading back and forth or choosing a direction? I don’t quite understand this idea. This wave of market movement is indeed volatile, but is 3270 really that solid? I feel like there’s still room below. Mindset is definitely the main thing. My friend keeps changing orders frequently, and in the end, he lost big. Where do you see the support strength from? Are there any indicators? You're right, the market is a zero-sum game; whoever is stable wins.

Heavy position? Bro, are you about to perform the classic "all-in" show? I did the same back in the day, and I'm still paying off debts haha Talking about mindset and execution ability nicely, but actually it's just gambling with human nature. Most people end up bankrupt from changing their orders too often Breaking below 3270 means game over, brother, we're dancing on the edge of a knife here Setting take profit and stop loss doesn't help; when you're careless, you'll still change your orders. I've seen too many retail investors fall for the "I'll hold a little longer" excuse Chopping up and down? Sounds simple, but in reality, it's just being ravaged by the market... though some people have made a lot of money this way I've heard this kind of advice a hundred times since 2018, and what happened? They all became bagholders People with strong execution skills have long achieved financial freedom, and we're still here studying support levels

3270 support is solid; going in with a heavy position should be fine, just worried about being trapped. Sticking to the plan is real, but most people lack execution. Once 3360 breaks, will it shoot straight to 3400? I'm a bit worried about my short positions getting burned. The oscillation back and forth is quite stable; it all depends on whether the mindset can hold until break-even. Set your stop-loss properly and don't make random changes. I've tried to fix this bad habit for a long time but still can't break it.

The support level at 3270 indeed looks tight, but the key is still node stability... No, I said it backwards, this is a trading issue. However, I agree on the mindset and execution part; consensus must be maintained like this.

Heavy long positions feel great, but I'm just worried that breaking below 3270 will directly break the defense. Stop-loss is stop-loss, it sounds nice but when you're truly losing money, how many can really hold on? That's right, mindset is the most important, but everyone can say that. This kind of oscillation strategy depends on luck; if you can't keep up with the rhythm, you'll get cut again. I'm just asking, can 3360 really break through? Feels a bit uncertain. Strong execution is great, but the worst pain is getting slapped in the face when you're losing money. Should I trade in oscillations back and forth? It still depends on the market temperament; you can't do whatever you want just because you wish to. Stop-loss at 3270 doesn't seem that solid either, feels like there's still risk. Some make money, some lose; the problem is I tend to lean towards the latter haha. If I misjudge this rhythm, heavy positions could directly cut half of the holdings.

Is 3303 a heavy position? Bro, your guts are really big. Wait, can 3270 really hold? It feels like this round of decline is a bit fierce. You're right about the mindset. I used to frequently change my orders and end up losing. It's always about take profit and stop loss. It sounds simple, but it's really hard to do. Basically, it's betting on support. Once broken, it's game over. I wouldn't even dare to go all-in on a long position. It's too刺激. I think this wave of volatility will drop a bit more. Sticking to the plan sounds good, but in execution, I always want to back out. How likely is a breakout at 3360? Feels like there's quite some pressure.

Heavy position? Bro, your guts are impressive. I'm still debating whether to add leverage or not. Can 3270 really hold? Feels like I almost got crushed every time. Swing trading sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it's a death game for human nature and accounts. Some make money, some lose. Most likely, I’m the one losing, haha. If 3360 can break, I’ll go out to eat. Too lazy to watch the charts. Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it really drops, I still get nervous and change my mind.

3303 this point is indeed attractive, but I want to see if it can break 3360 directly, now that would be satisfying. As for heavy positions... it still depends on your risk tolerance. Anyway, I wouldn't dare to go all in. Honestly, setting a stop loss at 3270 is a bit far, I'm worried it might be shaken out, but I do agree with sticking to the plan.
