The evening market continues to slowly decline, and in the afternoon, the strategy was shifted to focus on short positions, quickly securing a 600-point profit. Considering the potential uncertainties brought by the upcoming US stock market opening, a cautious exit strategy was adopted, avoiding greed and chasing orders further. This operation mainly focused on the two major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the overall approach being steady and cautious. Although the market movement is relatively slow, risk management awareness must always be maintained, especially on the eve of important economic events, where taking profits in time is often wiser than pursuing maximum gains.

Sell at 600 points, really stable. I'm still holding on stubbornly. The way the US stock market opened, it feels like it's about to explode... Saying "take profit in time" sounds nice, but actually it's just being cowardly, haha. Mainly optimistic about BTC's future trend; Ethereum has been a bit dull lately. Risk management? Easy to say, but who can really hold on at critical moments?

Accept 600 points directly, you made a good choice for taking profits this time The US stock market exploded right at the opening, luckily you got out quickly Short positions have really been a lifesaver these past couple of days Bitcoin is too volatile, it's better to stay steady Whoever is greedy at times like these will suffer losses, you're right I'm also thinking about whether to adjust my strategy accordingly The pace in the evening is indeed painfully slow, but this way it's safer

You ran away at 600 points? I think sometimes greed is actually the biggest risk.

He ran out at 600 points, really a coward. What can happen when the US stock market opens? Keep pushing up.

Did you run after gaining 600 points? That’s really small-minded. --- Heard this steady exit talk too many times, but it’s really just being cowardly. --- The night before the US stock market opens, this wave indeed requires caution, but who actually makes money is always greedy. --- Everyone understands the principle of taking profits and cutting losses; the hard part is not trembling when executing. --- Pushing both mainstream coins—are you confident or just gambling? --- Laughing at 600 points gained, I just don’t understand the logic behind this move. --- The market is slow, yet you’re quickly cutting leeks—does that make sense? --- It’s "steady and sure," but in the crypto world, that’s the least stable phrase. --- Is it wiser to take profits timely rather than chase the maximum profit? Sorry, I disagree. --- This risk control awareness is pretty good, but the market doesn’t give you a chance for risk control.

Making a 600-point profit and then running, okay, I'm still debating how to exit --- Regarding the US stock market opening, you really need to be cautious. Last time, I got caught because I didn't stick to the take-profit --- Honestly, Bitcoin has been a bit weak lately. Short positions are easy to execute but also prone to pullbacks --- I respect the cautious exit strategy. Many people are just greedy and end up getting caught by the rebound --- Risk management is on point +1, but a slow decline in this kind of market is actually the easiest to get into trouble --- Advancing step by step is correct, but the real challenge is whether you can resist chasing trades, that's the hard part --- I was also bullish on shorting Ethereum back then, but you reacted faster than me --- Exiting the night before important events is a good strategy to avoid being caught off guard by black swan events

Did you run at 600 points? This move is a bit conservative. It's indeed wise to be cautious before the US stock market opens, but I still feel there's hope. The take-profit work is quite well done, much better than those who insist on holding on until they explode. Learn from it. There's skill in shorting strategies; sticking to BTC and ETH, these stable assets, and not chasing highs is wise.

Did you run at 600 points? I need to think about this operation logic. When the US stock market opens again, I have to review it. This wave is stable, but it feels a bit slow. People who take profits will never make big money, but they won't die either. Let's just leave it at that. ETH has been pretty boring lately; BTC is the real boss. Those who exit are all cowards. I'll keep going all-in.

600 points and you're out? That's a bit conservative, but indeed, you should be cautious before the US stock market opens. --- Taking profits is easier said than done; most people only regret when they get wiped out from greed. --- Steady and cautious sounds good, but honestly, is this kind of profit really enough to watch in this market? --- The key is whether you can maintain this rationality and not get carried away chasing trades in the next wave. --- The US stock market is indeed a disruptor; it's never wrong to exit early.

Sell at 600 points, brother, your mindset is really steady. I'm actually a bit curious, as this vacuum period before the US stock market opens is usually the easiest to get trapped. You didn't greed this time, and you really made a profit.
