In the early hours, Bitcoin suddenly dropped 3000 points, heading straight for the previous low of $87,000. At that moment, liquidation data was scrolling across the screen, and the collapse theory was overwhelming. The entire market's fear index was instantly maxed out.
But just a few hours later, it rebounded back. As if nothing had happened. Many people were completely fooled by this bizarre market movement—regret from cutting losses, losses from chasing shorts, and mental exhaustion.
But I was unusually calm at that time. Even when the price touched the critical support at $87,000, I felt not fear but a cool excitement. Why? Because I had already built a comprehensive risk management system. Whether the market rebounds to $92,000 or dips further, my positions and strategies can handle it. Market volatility is no longer a nightmare but an opportunity for my system to capture profits.
**Seemingly "erratic," but actually a multi-long and short squeeze**
This sudden drop and rebound look very random. In reality, it was a classic battle between bulls and bears at a key level.
What are the bears thinking? Taking advantage of macro uncertainties and technical breakdowns, they break through psychological defenses in one go, triggering a chain of liquidations. What about the bulls? They stubbornly defend the $87,000 line, believing it is a value zone in the long-term trend. A large number of buy orders are lurking here, resisting fiercely.
The result is—price repeatedly oscillates at the support level, short-term participants bleed out, while those with a complete risk framework profit from the volatility. This is the cruelty of the market, and it’s also why the importance of stablecoins and derivatives tools is increasingly evident. Not only as trading tools but also as a safeguard for mental management.

Same old lines, I'm tired of hearing it, bro
---
Sounds good, but isn't it just armchair quarterbacking after the fact
---
Risk management system? I think it's just good luck catching the rebound
---
Holding on to 87,000? Wake up, that's the trick of the whales
---
This wave really tore through, but would systematic people even post about it
---
Calm down, no one can stay calm when losing money
---
Bull and bear meat grinder, grinding confident people like this
---
The blood and tears of contract liquidation, turned into a spiritual practice with such packaging?
---
No matter how many key support levels you have, they can't withstand a black swan
---
Short-term participants bleed out, long-term holders are the real chives
---
It's funny, you can survive without a risk management system, just like that
---
Every big drop, someone comes to tell a story; after it's over, they keep losing

Another classic move of "I have a system and you don't." Just listen and don't take it seriously.

At the moment of 87,000, I was also there, just not as calm as him, mainly because there was no money in the account haha.
---
Risk management system? My system is called "Minimize Risk"—simply not trading derivatives.
---
Sounds good, but it's just betting on the right direction, don't package it as some system.
---
The meat grinder is indeed ruthless, but even more ruthless is thinking every time that you are the one eating the meat.
---
This time, I am the one cutting the meat. Now watching it rebound, haha.
---
Stablecoin? My stablecoin is called "Stable Loss," with an average daily loss of -5%.
