A seasoned trader recently shared his trading approach. This guy has already taken profits on most of his positions and now only holds a long position in Bitcoin. He admitted that $94,000 was his initial target, but given the current price range, he's uncertain whether Bitcoin can successfully break through $100,000.

The key point is—once the price effectively breaks above $100,000, he plans to reassess the situation and increase his involvement. But before that, he prefers to lock in his gains from earlier in the year, then observe market trends and wait for clearer signals. This strategy actually reflects the thinking of many experienced traders: wanting to seize potential opportunities while avoiding being caught off guard by market uncertainties.

*checks notes* ah yes, the classic "i'm taking profits but also hodling the top position" playbook. statistically speaking, this is exactly how the 2017 bull run capitulation started... people got comfortable, started thinking they timed it perfectly at 94k, then suddenly price action said nope. history rhymes, doesn't it.

Basically, it's a typical case of "certainty first." This guy's logic is actually quite clear—holding onto the gains from early in the year is like having completed the first round of "incentive compatibility." Now, risking breaking 100,000 feels a bit like playing with unnecessary high leverage. Historically, traders who have waited for "another signal" tend to live longer. Compared to those who stubbornly stick to a single target level, this kind of dynamic assessment mechanism is indeed more robust. The question is, when does a signal become "clear"? Everyone's definition of this governance standard is different.

This guy has a good mindset. He cleared most of his positions early on and is now holding BTC, waiting for it to break 10,000. To be honest, the 94 to 10w range is indeed awkward; no one can be certain.

A conservative type, this guy. If he made a profit earlier this year, he prefers to lock in gains first. I understand this logic now, after all, unrealized gains aren't real gains.
