On Friday, the economic data performed well, and I directly went long on Bitcoin. However, the market entered a range-bound consolidation pattern, and the price got stuck at this level without moving forward. There is no clear direction up or down, and holding on continues to carry significant risk. I decided to exit first and observe. This lukewarm trend is most likely to cause small losses, so rather than entangling, it's better to wait for clearer signals before re-entering.

Getting stuck is truly frustrating; this kind of market really drains your mental energy.

Chased the high and got trapped, that's just fate.

The most annoying thing about sideways trading is not making money and wasting time. --- Waiting for signals? I just go all in, anyway I can afford to lose. --- That's why I like waterfalls, at least the direction is clear. --- I've seen too many stalls; it's right to run early. --- People chasing longs are probably bottom-fishing now haha, I'm just watching. --- Better to wait for an explosion than to get entangled, that's right. --- Being lukewarm is really the most frustrating; I already ran early. --- The key is how to judge when the signals are clear, that's the real threshold.

Chase too much and you'll have to run; if the rhythm is off, just slip away.

The volatile market really tests patience; chasing in just means waiting to be squeezed.

Repeated fluctuations are the most annoying; I've long wanted to smash out. --- Getting stuck means you need to run. In this kind of market, greed and losses go hand in hand. --- Being lukewarm is indeed uncomfortable; it's better to rest and wait for the next wave. --- It's correct to exit and observe; anyway, there will be many opportunities later. --- Chasing longs and getting shaken out—I've been taught the same lesson. --- Entangling at this position really leads to losses; I would decisively choose to exit.

nah this is literally the scalability trilemma playing out in real time lmao... btc just doing that classic range-bound thing while network congestion keeps gas fees astronomical. honestly reminds me of back in my mining days when hashrate would plateau like this—total nightmare energy. anyway gl waiting for clearer signals, those usually come right before a rug pull or smth

This wave of volatility is really intense; it's easy to get caught in it.
