Yesterday, it pulled back by just 2%, and the bulls remain resilient.
Personally, I hope the market continues to move sideways for a while, saving the chance for a fifth doubling until the end of this month before making another genuine breakout.
In trading, the biggest fear isn’t a stop-loss—it’s being so afraid of risk that you ultimately miss a major move that was yours to catch.
Don’t give up the potential 500% gain ahead just because you’re afraid of a 5% stop-loss.
Losses can be recovered through discipline and compounding. But once you miss a major trend, finding the same opportunity again may not be so easy.
Sometimes, the regret of sitting out is far more painful than taking a loss.
Of course, being bullish on a trend doesn’t mean ignoring risk. Position sizing, stop-losses, and contingency plans are all essential.
The market can move sideways, and conviction can remain strong, but trading must stay rational.
These are my personal views on the market and do not constitute investment advice.
The truly final stage of trading is not a technical one, but a human-nature one.
When the heart does not die, the Way will not be born.
What is meant by “the heart dying” is not despair, nor losing confidence, but letting go of obsession—letting go of subjective guesses about price action—and truly beginning to embrace what is objective.
What is meant by “the Way being born” is not learning some peerless secret manual, but, after going through enough market trials and washings, finally transforming into someone who does not guess, does not gamble, and does not contend— only follows the rules.
👉 The Five Dead Hearts Greed, fear, luck-seeking, revenge, and obsession.
👉 The Five Living Ways The Way of following the trend, the Way of waiting, the Way of selection and trade-offs, the Way of conservation, and the Way of knowing oneself.
The highest level of trading is not predicting every rise and fall, but accepting the market’s uncertainty.
No self in the mind; the chart in the eyes. Rules in your hands; a sense of proportion in your heart.
When you no longer try to prove you are right, but instead care only whether you can execute correctly— maybe that moment is when you truly begin to understand what “trading” really is.
The FOMC released the September meeting minutes. The takeaway is hawkish: all 19 officials supported a rate hike in September, and most believe an additional “appropriate” hike will be warranted before the end of 2026. Officials expressed concern about limited progress on inflation and cited rising U.S. Treasury yields and uncertainty from AI-related debt issuance. BTC fell from near 87,000 to a low of 83,000, a drop of about 4.7%, with $550 million in long positions liquidated. Then BTC rebounded from 83,000 back to 83,500–84,000. This “it fell but didn’t break” structure is worth taking more seriously than the price move itself. What the FOMC minutes said was genuinely hawkish—but before the minutes were released, the market had already priced in part of the hawkish expectations. A September rate hike is known; “one more time before year-end” was already being priced in last week by the bond market (85% probability at least one more hike). Since the minutes didn’t bring any additional information beyond expectations, real buying showed up around 83,000, and price didn’t keep sliding lower. Two things to watch today: Waller’s speech at the Istanbul Economic Forum today (this afternoon Beijing time). Waller is a leading spokesperson for the Fed’s dovish camp internally; in September, he was one of the voices supporting a “pause.” After the hawkish minutes, whether his tone softens the October rate-hike expectations is the most direct market signal today. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index (later tonight). The initial forecast is 48.1; if inflation expectations rise, rate-hike expectations will be pushed higher again. If inflation expectations fall, it’s a near-term positive. In the bigger picture, this week’s BTC was rejected at 87,000 three times, and then the FOMC minutes sent price back to 83,000—a pullback of about 4.7%, consistent with the first half of the expectation from the 2012 analogy of “down first by 9.7%, then up 2000%.” Next week, Oct 14 CPI will be the real data that determines whether 87,000 can be broken. Today’s Waller speech is just a signal window—not a direction setter. Hold 83,000–84,000—that’s the real positive signal this week coming in from the pullback. Can you accept that read? In the past week, was there liquidation in the plaza because of the FOMC minutes? Or did people cut positions early to wait out this pullback? Share your thoughts. $BTC

After battling it out for 5 hours today, I finally evened out my record at 10 wins and 10 losses. I ended the stream on a 6-win streak. (I played pretty average today, but I’ll keep working hard tomorrow. See you at 8 a.m., guys!)
It’s not always the right time to increase leverage.
The conditions that typically make it worthwhile to take on more risk are:
① A major opportunity emerges ② Market volatility is low enough ③ The market structure is clear enough ④ Confirmation from the right side has already arrived
In a market like this, which is resting and consolidating after a rally, the most important thing isn’t to keep increasing leverage. Instead:
Manage your leverage and position size, and patiently wait for the next opportunity.
Go on the offensive when an opportunity comes; stay defensive when it doesn’t.
Trading isn’t about who takes the most risks, but who has enough ammunition when an opportunity arises.
Manage risk to stay in the game longer; stay in the game long enough, and you can catch the truly big moves.
I'll just get to the point: 1️⃣ In crypto, only the primary market can turn your fortunes around—and among primary-market projects, only LUCiC stands out in terms of liquidity pool size, community size, and community strength! 2️⃣ If we go by Binance's listing requirements, LUCiC is currently the primary-market project that comes closest! Its liquidity pool is deep enough, and its community is big enough! 3️⃣ LUCiC is also one of the only projects across the entire internet willing to share 80% of its profits with everyone through real dividends! Remember: the only one 🙏 4️⃣ So read the three points above carefully—and keep them in mind! Don't be a stubborn contrarian! The opportunity to change your destiny might be right here!
🚨 Why are so many people still not making money when the BTC market is doing well?
Because the hardest part of crypto has never been spotting an upward candlestick.
It’s keeping your hands to yourself. 😂
When prices rise, you’re afraid of missing out. When they fall, you’re afraid of losing money. And when the market moves sideways, you can’t resist trading too often.
By the time the market has gone full circle, you’ve paid plenty in fees—and your positions are a bigger mess than ever.
I think everyday investors should focus on these four things:
💰 Spot: Don’t turn long-term holdings into short-term bets 📊 Leverage: Calculate the risks before thinking about the returns 🔥 Trends: Tell real inflows apart from short-lived hype 🧠 Emotions: Don’t throw your plan out the window because of one candlestick
Truly mature trading isn’t about making money every day.
It’s knowing when to act—and when to do nothing at all.
Sometimes, the most profitable move is making no move.
Which one are you?
🟢 Holding long term and waiting patiently 🔴 Short-term trading and actively looking for opportunities
