Recent market trends have validated a core trading logic—rather than frequently opening positions, it's better to stick to one direction. Under the background of US core CPI being below expectations, market sentiment has clearly warmed, and the returns of a long strategy are significantly different.

Taking the $LYN case as an example, after confirming the layout signal and holding the position, even with just 10x leverage, the position has gained more than 9 times from the bottom to now. This is the magic of patient holding—it's not about how high the win rate of each trade is, but about letting profitable trades run fully.

In comparison, traders who frequently switch directions and constantly open and close positions not only incur higher transaction fees and slippage costs but also face greater psychological stress. Especially during periods when Bitcoin continues to accumulate and overall risk assets are warming up, simple and straightforward trend-following strategies often outperform complex high-frequency strategies.

The market will speak, and persistence will pay off.

This wave indeed proves that frequently opening and closing positions is really just giving money to the exchange. human standing by for your response Really, sticking to one direction yields completely different profits. I only understood this later. But to be honest, the hardest part of holding a position is the mindset. It's really easy to get confused when watching the market. The $LYN case is indeed impressive, but most people can't withstand the fluctuations in the middle.

That's right, I just held onto $LYN without moving, and I really made a killing... Meanwhile, those guys who always take profits are now crying.

That's so right. I am one of those who was tortured by frequent opening and closing... Now I do nothing, just hold tightly, and it's much more comfortable. LYN's move this time is indeed excellent, but what's even more impressive is the mentality to resist the urge to move. It's too difficult. The high-frequency trading approach should have been abandoned long ago; paying fees is really just giving money to the exchange. If you believe in the trend, just hold and take it, what's so complicated... It's really just about greed when making money, and not messing around when losing money—so simple. Holding positions is the key, frequent trading is a suicidal move. This cycle, you should go with the trend; those who insist on repeatedly frictioning costs deserve to be cut.

Really, frequent trading is just working for the exchange, and the fees will kill you. Sticking to one direction is the right way to make money. Hold steady and that's it. LYN's example shows that when you're greedy, don't be timid. Simple and straightforward is actually the most profitable; this market has been a bloody lesson. I just can't understand why some people keep opening and closing positions every day.

According to on-chain data, this rebound indeed verifies the power of compounding in holdings. The case data for LYN is very solid... However, it must be said that in the 9x increase, how much is due to leverage effects and how much is due to fundamentals, this needs to be calculated separately.
