Recently, I took a short position on Bitcoin at this level. To be honest, this isn't my ideal entry point; I originally planned to act at 96,500, but the market didn't move as expected, so I opened a 1.5-position short here.

The take profit target is set at 91,300, which can lock in a steady profit. The stop loss is placed around 94,600, corresponding to the previous high, serving as a defensive line.

If the market cooperates, I will continue to watch the 87,000 level. The overall rhythm is quite conventional—seeking quick confirmation in the short term, and waiting for larger-scale adjustments in the medium term. This move mainly aims to capture the retracement space; the specific direction will depend on the upcoming volume performance.

Wow, this pace is a bit fast. Did you go short before reaching 96500? When it comes to betting on the market, plans often can't keep up with changes... A 1.5 lot short position also has significant pressure. From 91300 to 87000, it all depends on whether the trading volume will give some face, but such stop-loss settings are at least somewhat reliable.

Did you give up before reaching 96,500? I told you, this market really plays with your mentality. It feels like 87,000 is the real support, but for now, we can only bet on whether the volume can cooperate.

Tsk, it's another story of being pulled in by the market trend, haha. Wait, a stop loss of only 4600 points? The risk-reward ratio feels a bit average. That target of 87000 is a bit of a dream; let's see the trading volume. Whether this short position can profit from the decline still depends on the market's temperament. Breaking expectations is the most annoying, but a 1.5 lot position is still manageable. Is there a high probability of returning to the 91300 level? Feels a bit tight.

Oh no, it's another forced early entry. I really understand how that feels. But speaking of which, the stop-loss at 94600 is a bit tight. What if there's a gap and it gets wiped out? I usually leave some buffer... Is 87000 the ultimate target? That depends on whether BTC is willing to cooperate. Trading volume is the key. I don't believe in a decline without volume. It's already good if we can make a profit this time. Don't expect to eat the last piece of meat.

Hmm... 94600 as a stop-loss is a bit tight, worried it might be easily swept.

Did you open a position before reaching 96,500? Me too, this market just loves to mess with your mentality. It's easiest to lose money when the market doesn't go as expected... Looks like your stop-loss is set quite tight. That level at 87,000 is a bit risky; if the volume can't keep up, you have to accept the loss. A 1.5 position is a steady hand; not being greedy is still the right approach. Taking profit at 91,300 shouldn't be a problem; it all depends on whether the trading volume is strong enough. This wave of short positions feels a bit passive, but the defensive line is set quite well.

96,500 didn't wait, jumped in directly? This guy is indeed a bit impatient, but the logic for the short position still makes sense.
