This wave of market movement is really exhausting. BTC's performance today feels like pouring cold water after a celebration—uptrend broken, downtrend confirmed, and many who chased the high got their hearts pierced.

Recently, a trader friend shared his trading approach, which is quite interesting. He opened a short position during the one-hour rebound, with a pending order around 96800. His first target is 94500. His logic is that the market needs time to digest, and there might even be a scenario of "a rebound tempting more buyers followed by a second bottom test," with the final bottom possibly below 93000. But he emphasized several times that this is just an analysis based on current charts; the market is always right, and managing risk is the key.

Listening to his words, I started to reflect. During a bull market, we always want to find the next 100x project, eyes darting around the K-line, but often neglect the most fundamental question: where should our principal and profits be placed to sleep peacefully?

Especially in this phase of increased volatility and unclear direction, frequent trading can lead to getting hit from both sides, while completely exiting risks missing opportunities. Many people have probably experienced this dilemma.

Instead of obsessing over short-term tactics, it’s better to think about a more practical matter: how to build a "profit safety vault" that allows your money to grow steadily regardless of market conditions? For me, stablecoin allocations and yield strategies are exactly such a safety vault, enabling assets like USDT, USDC to maintain liquidity while earning stable returns.
