Standing on the balcony, I smoked a cigarette as the sky slowly darkened, and the weekend was almost over again.
This week’s market was actually pretty lively. BTC surged from 75,000 to 80,000, then got dumped back down, only to rally again—big swings of several thousand points back and forth. Both sides, bulls and bears, had people getting liquidated. I scrolled through my朋友圈 (social feed). Some people were showing off profits, others cursing, and some pretending nothing happened. It was pretty much the same as every weekend.
I personally didn’t do much this week. I held spot, and with a small position I played two swings—just made enough for grocery money. In the past, with this kind of choppy, ranging market, I would definitely have jumped in every day, unable to sit still if I didn’t trade. But not anymore. I’m older now, more cautious. I know that some money isn’t meant to be earned by me.
A lot of people ask me how next week will go. Honestly, I don’t know.
After doing trading for so many years, I’ve become less and less willing to predict. You think you’ve understood the trend, and the market slaps you in the face in a second. You think it’s definitely going down, and it shows you otherwise by going up instead. In the end, you realize that being right a few times about the market isn’t that impressive. The real skill is being able to survive in this market for five or ten years.
As for what happens next week—let’s talk about it next week.
Previously I thought that trading, like any other industry,
was the same: as long as you worked hard enough, you could get ahead. So I stared at the charts for 16 hours every day—drawing K-line charts over and over, studying dozens of indicators, scrolling the news nonstop for 24 hours. Even when I slept, I kept my phone under my pillow. Whenever the market moved, I’d wake up. And what happened? The harder I tried, the more I lost.
Later, it gradually clicked for me: Trading isn’t like construction work. It’s not that if you do one more hour, you’ll earn one more hour of money. Quite the opposite. The more frequently you trade, the higher the probability you’ll make mistakes. The truly profitable trades are often the ones you wait for, not the ones you force into existence. Patience—waiting for the right opportunity, patiently holding the correct position, patiently letting profits grow on their own— those stretches of time when it feels like you’re doing nothing, are actually the most valuable part of trading.
It’s kind of ironic when you think about it: When I first started, I was always hunting for opportunities, always wanting to trade. In the end, I lost terribly. Now, I might only make trades once or twice a week— and yet I earn more than before. So sometimes I wonder: are we really competing with the market, or are we competing with our own “reluctance”? Reluctant to miss any market move, reluctant to let the money in the account sit idle, reluctant to just watch other people make money… In the end, I realized: all that reluctance is a trap. Slow down. Do less. And you’ll go farther.

Bitcoin ($BTC) dropped 3.4% to around $77,383 after facing strong resistance near the $80,000 zone. The move looks like a short-term reset with profit-taking and leveraged long liquidations adding pressure to the market.
Now, the key question is whether buyers can defend the $77,000–$77,500 support zone. Holding this area could keep the broader bullish structure intact, while a deeper break may lead to further consolidation before the next major move.
Meanwhile BNB is showing relative strength despite the market weakness. The $580 area remains important support while reclaiming momentum toward $620 could put bulls back in control.
SOL remains one of the higher-volatility coins to watch. The $135–$140 demand zone is critical while a recovery above $155 could signal renewed bullish momentum.
For now, patience matters more than chasing candles. BTC’s reaction around $77K may give the clearest clue about the market’s next direction. 📊

🧧🔥🔥🧧 Some say the crypto world is ruthless, but reality is even more ruthless! For clients in the real economy, a few years ago they still had assets in the hundreds of millions; now they’re insolvent. They can only stay on guard outside their clients’ factory entrance at 1:00 a.m., transforming into a nightingale—watching to see if the client might shift their assets. Don’t envy their glamorous appearance on the surface; in fact, they may already be riddled with holes. You can’t possibly be lucky all the time. At any moment, getting big results and leaving promptly to enjoy life is the most correct choice!
🚨 🧧$ONG Volatility Wave! Price Up +17.62% as Gainer Consolidates After Massive Spike! 🚀📈👇🎁
Ontology Gas ($ONG) is navigating an intense volatility cycle on its spot trading chart, currently trading at $0.11873! After breaking out aggressively from its accumulation base near the 24h Low ($0.09199), massive buyer momentum drove price action to touch session peaks at the 24h High ($0.26000) before facing heavy distribution and returning to retest baseline support. Backed by a massive $80.80M USDT daily trading volume pool (535.92M ONG traded), the market is battling for range equilibrium as a top Gainer. Set your parameters immediately:
🟢 LONG ENTRY (Breakout Continuation): ✅ Trigger: Close ABOVE $0.13500 🎯 Targets: $0.16500 | $0.21000+ 🚀 🛑 SL: $0.10800 🔴 SHORT ENTRY (Range Breakdown Play): ✅ Trigger: Close BELOW $0.10500 🎯 Targets: $0.09200 | $0.07800- 📉 🛑 SL: $0.12500
💡 TRADER'S WISDOM: Take careful note of the timeframe setup—this technical analysis maps directly to the active 1-hour (1h) timeline structure! While the macro 24h performance is running strong in the green (+17.62%), the immediate active 1H candlestick confirms a localized consolidation pause after a steep wick rejection, printing a negative progression tick of -0.45% (-0.00054). Avoid rushing into over-leveraged market orders inside volatile post-spike consolidation zones—let the 1H timeframe secure a clean candle close completely outside these parameters to validate sustainable volume absorption before taking entries. Capital preservation is priority number one! 📊🔒
⚠️ High-velocity Gainer assets experiencing sharp wick spikes and subsequent retracements carry intense localized leverage flushes and wide volatility swings. Tighten your risk parameters and do your own research (DYOR)! ⚠️
