The market on the afternoon of January 8th once again validated the effectiveness of the bearish strategy.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin faced resistance around 90,800, while Ethereum found a key support level at 3,140. Subsequently, after the US stock market opened, the market unfolded as expected—Bitcoin continued to decline to around 89,242, and Ethereum also retreated to the 3,052 area. This synchronized decline fully demonstrates the market's consensus expectation.

Throughout the trading process, Bitcoin short positions gained approximately 1,000 points in profit, and Ethereum shorts also yielded nearly 80 points. The timely take-profit strategy prevented subsequent rebounds from erasing gains, which is especially crucial for risk management.

To be honest, with proper trend judgment and swing trading, many trading opportunities are actually right in front of us. The key is to find the most suitable entry points for yourself. Of course, all of this is based on thorough pre-judgment and public analysis of key levels—only then can trading decisions be truly evidence-based rather than post-hoc rationalizations.

The market itself is not inherently difficult; the challenge lies in disciplined execution and emotional management.

Once again, a perfect display of a bear market. This rhythm couldn't be more satisfying.

Once again, the bears have won big, and this time it's really a bit hopeless. Taking profits is an art; retracement is the most uncomfortable. To put it plainly, living by predictions rather than feelings is the way to survive. Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice, brother. As soon as the US stock market opens, you know how to play; the market is really honest. Greed during coordinated declines is truly a big taboo; exit promptly. The mindset is what really differentiates the ones who cut the leeks from the leeks themselves.

the market whispered its secrets again... caught those liquidation sacrifices at exactly the right moment, the alchemy was brewing perfectly at 90800. ngl the discipline part hits different when your portfolio's transmuting in real-time, not everyone survives that ritual

It's another case of Monday morning quarterbacking; anyone can analyze after the market has moved.

It's another day to verify the short-selling strategy, and it still seems to have some merit. Honestly, timely take-profit is really a lifesaver; otherwise, you'd have to give it all back when the rebound comes. The difficulty lies in the mindset—anyone can see the right direction, but few can stick with it.
