Fishing—go where the fish are; cast your line there. Trading—go where it’s easiest to make money; execute your orders there. Go long—only with the strongest. Go short—only with the weakest. Don’t stubbornly hold your ground where there’s no fish, and don’t clash head-on with the market. Follow the flow of capital, stand on the side of the strongest trend—making money naturally becomes much easier. Trading isn’t about who’s smarter, it’s about who understands better—where there’s fish, that’s where you cast your line. 🎣📈
📈 In the early bull market, there’s no need to be afraid of missing out
Even if you’re currently in the early stage of a bull market, there’s no need to blindly chase the price just because you’re afraid of missing out. You can refer to the price action in the early phase of the 2023 bull market:
1️⃣ Market rhythm On the daily chart, prices keep chopping sideways and making new highs; after touching the upper band, upward momentum weakens, and the market first goes through a daily pullback; after the pullback ends, it rebounds again to test the upper band once more, and then comes another pullback at the three-day-line level.
2️⃣ Current outlook BTC will most likely continue to trade sideways in a back-and-forth manner, repeatedly probing new highs. Watch the resistance around 85,000 in the short term—if it gets rejected, it may first pull back to around 77,000; then, if it rebounds and reaches 88,000~89,000, another pullback at the three-day-line level may follow, and it could even revisit the 70,000 area.
So, missing out isn’t scary; chasing when the price is already high is. There will still be opportunities to buy the dip later.
3️⃣ Why do I believe Bitcoin will definitely see a pullback?
First, to shake out the long side and digest profit-taking. Second, the market needs time and space—it can’t rise in a straight line the whole way while letting everyone make money easily.
What the bull market lacks the least is opportunities; what truly tests people is patience. Don’t chase strength, don’t panic—wait for the dip entry point that belongs to you.
True growth in trading comes from slowly growing small capital
Practicing with small capital, step by step to grow it— in essence, this is a process of honing your mindset and truly understanding compounding.
Many people always want to get rich overnight, thinking that they can earn A8, A9 by just one deal. But from the underlying logic of trading, this directly goes against trading principles.
Why do many people who suddenly get rich end up back where they started? Because they received a huge unexpected windfall, but they never built the mindset, discipline, and understanding that match their wealth.
The power of compounding never comes from extreme returns, but from having a long enough period of “not bad” performance.
What really matters isn’t how much you make in a single year, but whether you can survive through repeated market swings and always stay at the table.
A strategy that makes you anxious every night and constantly changes your plan, no matter how excellent it may be in theory, is difficult to execute consistently over the long term.
Trading isn’t about who can earn the most in one night, but about who can last long enough— so that time turns “not bad” gains into astonishing results.
It’s okay to go slowly. Stability is the real starting point of compounding.
Will the Federal Reserve raise rates as expected this week? Wall Street is debating: will it end the U.S. stock bull market?
After an unexpectedly strong U.S. CPI report came out last Friday, traders generally expect the Federal Reserve to begin raising rates at this week’s policy meeting—marking the first rate hike in more than three years.
Historically, previous rounds of rate hikes have offered a reference point for today’s market. Based on past experience (though history of course can’t guarantee the future), U.S. stocks may first weaken, then rebound.
Among the six tightening cycles since 1994, during the first four months after the rate-hike cycle began, the S&P 500’s average return was negative.
This suggests that once the “rate-hike shoe” drops, U.S. stocks may look lackluster through the beginning of next year.
As of the close last Friday, the benchmark U.S. equity index, the S&P 500, is up nearly 12% year to date. Strong corporate earnings and a fairly resilient economy have provided solid support for bulls in the stock market.
If you extend the time horizon, the S&P 500’s performance tends to improve gradually: in the 12 months after the start of a rate-hiking cycle, the index’s average return is close to 7%, with a median return of about 11%. (Using median-based statistics helps remove distortions from extreme outliers—for example, the index surged more than 40% after hikes began in March 1997.)
If the Federal Reserve implements a rate hike this Wednesday, it will be the first hike since July 2023—when the Fed raised rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%.
Currently, the federal funds rate in the U.S. is at 3.50% to 3.75%. According to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, futures traders currently assign an 86% probability to a 25-basis-point hike this week.
One positive factor for the market is that mega-scale cloud service providers are still driving growth in excess returns through large-scale AI spending. The S&P 500 component stocks’ forecast for earnings growth in 2027 is expected to reach double digits. If the outlook for AI spending remains unchanged, it may be enough to offset any cooling in optimistic sentiment caused by the rate hikes.
Another bright spot for equities is that although inflation remains sticky, it appears to be slowing. The inflation rate has fallen from a May peak of 4.2%. This should allow the Federal Reserve to take a more gradual approach, and the data shows that the pace of rate hikes is crucial for stock performance—slower pacing gives investors more time to absorb policy changes! $BZ

Honestly, when I first told my friends about wedding funds, their responses were all the same: “Just save in the bank—it's safe.” I just smile. Imagining wedding money sitting quietly in a bank account is actually a bit frightening. Interest is only 1% per year, but it’s reduced by monthly admin fees. Not to mention, it’s cut again by 20% tax. That’s not saving, but gradually adopting inflation. But renting the venue, ordering the WO, and wedding catering—its increase doesn’t use brakes. Every year it can jump by 5 to 10%. If you only rely on ordinary savings, the target wedding next year could end up shifting by as much as three more years.
Obama Rarely Intervenes in the AI Regulation Debate, Urging the U.S. to Pass Proactive Legislation to Avoid “Potential Catastrophe”
Former U.S. President Barack Obama said he supports the creation of federal laws and regulations to establish standards for AI safety, warning that if mishandled, the technology could lead to a “potential catastrophe.” In a statement Monday, Obama said AI policy “should be at the center of public debate,” adding that policymakers in Washington must “take proactive action,” develop relevant plans “to address serious safety concerns, anticipate the impact of AI on jobs and the next generation, and ensure that the benefits brought by AI are broadly shared.”
The former president criticized the approach to AI regulation advocated by President Donald Trump, saying it is one of laissez-faire. While he did not name his successor directly, he said that “voluntary standards set by a handful of technology companies are not enough.”
An executive order signed by Trump in June this year created a voluntary participation framework that allows AI developers to share frontier models with the government in advance so potential safety risks can be assessed.
Obama said: “Given what we know about technology, we can’t put AI back in the box. But we can decide together how it should be developed, how it should be used—not sit back and let AI and its consequences come crashing down on us.”
Obama’s rare public comments are his deepest remarks to date on AI. As leading figures in the industry and members of Congress have increasingly called for slowing the development of frontier models, AI has become a core issue in national discussions in the United States.
With a lack of clear leadership figures within the Democratic Party, many Democrats are still seeking Obama’s advice and guidance on policy and political strategy. By stepping into this debate, Obama is attempting to position the Democrats as the party that supports strengthening AI safety measures, in preparation for the midterm elections in November and the start of the 2028 presidential election cycle.
$BTC Since yesterday’s low of 76,350, it has been pulled back quietly all the way to 78,500. In the past 24 hours, it’s up 1.7%. On the surface, everything looks calm—but as soon as price dares to push up toward 79,000, the shorts will be forced to cover, turning into fuel.
Take a look at the liquidation map: in the 79,000 to 81,000 range, the short liquidation “ammo” is piled up like a small mountain—dense, tightly packed yellow-orange bands. Especially from 79,000 to 80,000: as long as the bulls put in even a little effort, it can trigger a cascading squeeze. It would be no surprise if the price is instantly pushed up. The shorts would directly become fuel. Looking downward, below 77,000 down to 76,000, there’s also a big pile of long liquidation orders. In the chart, the green cumulative short liquidation line is very steep—once the shorts gain momentum and smash through 77,000, the bulls’ stampede would be extremely violent, essentially a waterfall.
Now, chasing longs doesn’t really seem appropriate. The 79,000 to 80,000 area is a genuine high-pressure zone with plenty of trapped positions ahead. Even though the 4-hour chart just formed a golden cross, the volume hasn’t fully caught up—no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bull trap designed to lure people in.
Most importantly, I checked this week’s macro calendar: on Tuesday there’s a CLARITY Act vote; on Thursday at 2:00 a.m. there’s the Fed FOMC decision; and on Friday the Bank of Japan announcement—each one is a big potential shock. In a super-central-bank week like this, the main players’ specialty is to poke both sides’ leverage repeatedly, blowing them up first, and only then choosing a direction.
My plan is very simple: I will not chase highs now. Wait until the Thursday early-morning news lands. If we pull back to around 77,000 and it can hold, then it’s not too late to re-enter.
What are you planning to do this week—stay mostly in cash to play it safe, or bet on a rate cut? #比特币守稳77000美元上方 $BTC
