BTC is currently positioned near the upper edge of the central zone, still not breaking through the central zone range. From a technical perspective, although the bearish momentum is waning, at this critical level, a consolidation and shakeout process is inevitable. The probability of a significant upward breakout in the short term is not high. Instead of frequently chasing highs, it's better to wait for clearer signals. Recently, I opened a weekly put option to hedge, as a psychological buffer. The market rhythm is like this; sometimes recognizing the boundaries of the trend is more important than blind trading.

Ah, this wave is indeed tricky. Don't chase recklessly if the central point isn't broken. Recognizing the boundaries is more important than anything else.

Consolidation is all about who can resist moving. I feel more at ease when I buy put options; anyway, the money I can't make doesn't bother me.

The days of consolidation are the most tormenting, just waiting for that breakout signal. That's right, this position can't be rushed, anyway I also opened a put to hedge for fun. Frequent chasing highs is pure suicide; recognizing boundaries is something to keep in mind.

Don't rush; chasing highs now is just giving money to the market makers. Wait for a signal; anyway, the market will consolidate whether you act or not. That's right, doing nothing now is much smarter than reckless moves. Don't expect a breakout as long as the central point isn't broken; just watch patiently. I also think that instead of betting on a rebound, it's more comfortable to hold some options for hedging. Realizing the boundaries really hits the point, truly. Frequent trading is just wasting transaction fees and is a prelude to a mental breakdown.

Hey, not this time. I'm just annoyed by this consolidation. Instead of chasing the highs, it's better to stay flat and wait for signals.

Hmm, this time we really need to keep a steady mindset and not let the volatility blow our minds.

Consolidation and turnover, indeed this wave requires patience, no rush. --- Hedging with put options is pretty good, saves from daily worries. --- You're right, compared to chasing highs, it's better to wait for clearer signals. --- At the upper boundary of the central zone, if it can't break through in the short term, just be patient and wait. --- The momentum is weakening but hasn't truly broken through yet, this is when the most mental testing occurs. --- I get the idea of psychological buffering, so I won't stay up at night. --- Recognizing boundaries hits home; many people fall into the trap of frequent trading.

Recognizing boundaries is indeed more valuable than chasing highs, but can the put options on Friday be caught at the bottom? This whole wave is just frustrating.
