Last night's Bitcoin short position strategy is currently performing well.

The initial position was opened around 96,800, with a second position at 97,400. The price reached a high of around 97,100, almost hitting the take-profit level for the second position. However, the first position has already accumulated a profit of 1,400 points, which is considered quite good so far.

For friends following this operation, it is recommended to gradually implement protective measures to lock in some profits. Although the decline did not fully complete all target levels as expected, from a trading management perspective, being able to profit steadily during the pullback is still key.

Continue to monitor BTC's performance within this range. In the short term, the 97,000-98,000 price zone still requires close attention—this could serve as either resistance for a rebound or a new support level. Keep tracking market trends and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Are you running at 1400 points? My goodness, is that all? Can I squeeze in one more wave of greed? --- 97000-98000 is indeed a bit of a mystique; whether it's resistance or support, it makes sense. It all depends on what the big players think. --- Taking profits is always correct, but I just can't resist; I have to hold until liquidation to feel satisfied. --- The first position at around 96800 should probably be fully locked in by now, so you don't get hit back to the starting point by a reverse move. --- This round of operations was okay, but I’m increasingly unable to see through the tricks of Bitcoin. --- Oh, I opened a reverse position with you and got wiped out; how do you always manage to catch the bottom? --- Talking about protective measures is easy, but in actual operation, my hands are trembling. --- Next time I see you at 97000, you'll know I didn't escape.

1400 points, not bad, I like this steady approach. It's just a bit unfortunate that I didn't hit the target completely. 2. Hmm, almost hit the secondary position. Locking in profits at such times is indeed smart; greed is the biggest enemy. 3. I'm also watching the consolidation range of 97000-98000. It feels like there will be repeated tests, no need to rush. 4. As I always say, only those who can make money in volatility are true experts. 5. Did you get up early to check the market again? It seems BTC is still hesitating. 6. Those who followed this short position probably have a good mindset now, after locking in profits. 7. This steady mindset is better than anything else, compared to those who chase highs and sell lows every day. 8. The 97100 level almost broke, but fortunately, the initial position held up. 9. Continue observing. This price range is indeed sensitive; it can rebound at any moment. 10. To be honest, this strategy has a good rhythm—gradually deploying and gradually taking profits.

1400 points reached, still not locking in profits? I’m starting to lose my composure. This time, it’s best to take profits when the gains are good. --- The 97,000-98,000 level is really a critical point; you have to watch it closely. It feels like it will take multiple attempts to break through. --- Opening a short position early is satisfying, but greed now can easily lead to a reversal. I advise everyone to be cautious and not be reckless. --- Almost hit the secondary take-profit level, haha. Bitcoin’s temper is really something; it’s always trying to mess with you. --- The protective measures discussed are correct. Securing profits is the key to success; don’t gamble against the market. --- Keep watching, but keep your finger on the close position button—that’s all I’m saying.

A 1400-point gain is indeed comfortable, but it's a bit regrettable that we didn't fully capitalize on this wave. --- Did the secondary position almost get stopped out? Is it making you a little nervous now? --- Actually, I've experienced profits from such semi-finished products before. The key is to maintain the right mindset. --- The 97-98 range is indeed tricky. The next move depends on the market sentiment. --- I agree with locking in some profits; just worried about greed leading to a reversal and getting caught off guard. --- You can't run away with 1400 points; the rest depends on how to proceed next. --- Although this wave didn't go as planned, steady profits are good. Many others just went in the opposite direction and got wiped out. --- Wait, are these resistance and support levels really that blurry? I can't see clearly. --- Is it better to lock in profits now on the short position or hold on? I need to think about it. --- Almost hitting the take-profit level indicates that the judgment was pretty accurate. There should still be opportunities ahead.

A 1400-point gain is pretty good, but I still want to see if I can break through that 97,400 barrier... Feels like there's still hope for this wave of the market. Almost hit the take profit point, which was a bit frustrating, but the advice to lock in profits is still valid—after all, better to leave some green on the table. The 97,000-98,000 range is really a hurdle; let's see how it develops next. Anyway, I'm sticking to it tightly. As expected, patience is key; otherwise, the profits made earlier would have been lost for nothing. Bro, you nailed the rhythm this time. I was still hesitating when I first followed in.

A gain of 1400 points is quite substantial, but I feel like the 97-98K range is a bit redundant, easily crushed during rebounds. Are there too many selling points? It seems like BTC has been playing psychological games these past two days. Locking in profits is the right move, but I was a bit eager to fill the quota and ended up getting slapped in the face. This wave almost turned out perfect; luck is also part of trading, right? Why not just directly stake at 98K for the second position? I feel like the floating point is too large. This position at Bitcoin does have potential, but I'm just worried the volatility will decrease again.

I want to fully exit at 1400 points, I understand this mindset... But can the line at 97,000-98,000 really hold? Aren't there many cases in history where these kinds of "key resistances" have failed?

Hey, this wave of short positions is really comfortable, making a steady profit of 1400 points. Damn, I almost hit the secondary take-profit, what a scare, but luckily the first position was already locked in. The 97000-98000 range definitely needs to be watched closely; the rebound resistance level still needs to be respected. Locking in some profits is the right move; greed can easily lead to a reversal, we all understand that. Now it depends on how Bitcoin moves next; continuing to monitor.

1. A comfortable 1400-point profit, but it's a bit of a pity that I didn't fully exit this wave. 2. The 97,000-98,000 range oscillation is annoying; I still need to stick to it. 3. I already said this level is a hurdle, and sure enough, it got stuck. 4. Locking in profits is wise; the greedy ones got their faces slapped. 5. Almost perfectly took profit, a little regretful but still good. 6. During this kind of oscillating market, proper position management is essential; one position can't satisfy all. 7. I believe there will be further dips; there should still be opportunities around 97. 8. The protective measures were well done; I was burned by a rebound before because of greed. 9. A stable 1400-point profit is already good; don't overthink it. 10. The 97-98 zone is too critical; if broken, it's another story. 11. Following the rhythm proved to be correct; holding positions steady makes the mind more stable. 12. The secondary position almost took profit, which is a bit of a pity, but as long as the primary position is stable, it's fine.
