$BTC $ETH There has been little change in Bitcoin and Ethereum on the higher timeframes so far, and no trend has emerged yet. The market is leaning toward consolidation, so it's still best to focus on shorting rallies. Suggested levels to watch for intraday short entries are shown in the chart.

These are the key levels. For the bigger picture, choose where you want to buy spot on a dip or open a low-leverage long position, and manage your position accordingly. Some people entered early with an initial position, while others were more cautious and entered later. Their average prices may differ a little, but that won't stop them from making money in the next uptrend.
$BTC If you want to sleep well, you’d better stop chasing long trades. Those who got hooked on short-term longs earlier should rein it in a bit. Starting Monday, for now, our overall strategy should be to focus only on shorting at higher levels (including U.S. stocks). If Bitcoin’s weekly chart breaks down, the drop could be substantial—somewhere in the 5,000–10,000-point range. Rather than risk getting cut to pieces chasing short-term longs, it’s better to wait for a good spot to short at higher levels. Same goes for Ether. The wolf could really show up at any time. Better to be prepared: plan for the worst-case shakeout, and at least you won’t get trapped at the top.
This is just a risk warning. If you prefer to play it safe, take it as a reference. Of course, that doesn’t stop anyone with a strict stop-loss from freely riding the short-term swings.
Many of the assets I mentioned earlier have reached their accumulation zones. If there’s something you’ve had your eye on, you’ve finally got a chance to buy some in batches. You don’t have to stick to BTC and ETH—they still have room to fall.
For example, the $DRAM I mentioned earlier (spot: $DRAMB ), this storage ETF, has reached the “free money” zone I marked. I’m building a position slowly. I bought a little at the current price of 47.4 and plan to add one lot at 44.5. Don’t go all-in; avoid liquidation, or keep leverage below 20x.
The gold long position I mentioned earlier has also turned into a “free money” opportunity. Gold and precious metals don’t necessarily move in tandem with crypto when it falls, so they’re relatively more resilient to risk.
Korean index $KORU: funding fees are very high. I reckon Korean traders are all buying the dip. The price is relatively low—a good price—but you might not be able to stomach the fees. If you want to buy, consider spot ($KORUB ) and use your own judgment.
For the storage ETF, if it reaches the entry zone, (buy in three equal installments). You can buy spot or take a low-leverage long position in a futures contract (if you’re willing to accept funding costs) and hold it for the medium to long term.

The entry level for another BTC short is basically unchanged. If you want to take the trade, you can. Pay attention to the ideal pyramid ratio when scaling in; this gives you the most room for error and the highest probability of success.
If you want to be more conservative with a BTC short, skip 83,986 and wait to open your initial position near 84,996. Choose based on your own risk tolerance; just manage your position size properly.
⚡️ $ETH
The re-entry level for a high short has moved up. See the chart. If you want to take the trade, you can, but don’t trade BTC and ETH at the same time. Pay attention to the ideal pyramid ratio when scaling in; this gives you the most room for error and the highest probability of success.
⚡️ $SOL
For anyone looking to go short, consider these levels: 112.4 (initial position), 117.6 (first add), 122 (second add); stop-loss if price breaks above 128.
Position-size ratios, from the first entry to the last: 1:2:4 or 2:3:5.

💡 The simplest way to think about position management:
For example, opening 10 ETH within your usual position-size plan might feel completely comfortable. By “comfortable,” I mean the stop-loss wouldn’t hurt, or even if the position were liquidated, it would still be far from a concern—not that liquidation is close and the stop-loss would make little difference. Next, decide whether to split those 10 ETH across two or three entries. For two entries, you could open 3 first and add 6–7 later, or open 2 first and add 4–8 later. For three entries, you could open 1 first, add 2 at the first level and 4–7 at the second, or open 2 first, then add 3 and 5. If price hasn’t reached an add-on level, you don’t need to use all your planned size. It’s fine to have some size left over, but don’t overcommit. Once all your positions are in, set a reasonable stop-loss distance based on your final average entry price.

⭐ If short-term price action keeps throwing you around and you’re losing your bearings and getting stopped out repeatedly, it’s mostly because you’re looking at timeframes that are too small. I don’t recommend looking at any candles below 1H. For swing and short-term trading, 1H should be your lowest timeframe, with 4H as your main focus.
Gold and Dogecoin are assets you can scale into on the long side at lower levels; they’re basically risk-free, no-brainer trades.
Scale into long positions at the levels above (with no liquidation risk or very low liquidation risk), or buy spot. It’s only a matter of time before you make money.
The gold wick reached the initial entry zone (PXAG: 4138.46, XAU: 4142.38). If your limit order was filled, hold your position. Take the first profit near 4180 (half the position), and the second near 4240. Still prepare to add to the position at 2x near 4043.

$ETH The short position on Ether was also provided, same as the Bitcoin one above. If your order was filled, either keep holding at breakeven now (so you don't lose money on fees), or follow the plan at the price levels above and be ready to add to your position and set the corresponding stop-loss.
🥘 Suggested position sizing ratios
For two entries: 1:2 For three entries: 1:2:4 or 2:3:5
Pyramiding is a sound way to add to a position and works well in most market conditions, with a very high tolerance for error~
🌀 The simplest way to understand position management:
For example, if opening a 10-ETH position is well within your usual risk limits (meaning the stop-loss wouldn't hurt, or even if you were liquidated after opening, your liquidation price would still be far enough away that you wouldn't need to worry—not that liquidation is so close that it is practically the same as a stop-loss), then you need to divide those 10 ETH between two or three entries. For two entries, you could open with 3 and add 6–7, or open with 2 and add 4–8. For three entries, you could open with 1, add 2 on the first scale-in, then 4–7 on the second; or open with 2, add 3 on the first scale-in, then 5 on the second. If the price doesn't reach your planned add-on levels, you don't need to use all your allocated size. It's fine to have some size left over, but don't overextend. Once you've entered the full position, set a reasonable stop-loss distance based on your final average entry price.
$BTC The BTC short position we were waiting for earlier has just been filled. If your order was filled, either hold at breakeven for now (excluding fees), or follow the plan at the levels above and be ready to add to the position with the corresponding stop-loss in place.
🥘 Suggested position sizing
Two entries: 1:2 Three entries: 1:2:4 or 2:3:5
Pyramid-style scaling in is a sound strategy and works well in most market conditions, with a very high tolerance for error~
🌀 The simplest way to understand position management:
For example, if opening a position of 10 ETH as part of your regular trading plan is no problem for you (meaning the stop-loss wouldn’t hurt, or your liquidation price would still be far away after entering—not that liquidation is close and effectively no different from a stop-loss), then you need to decide whether to split those 10 ETH across two or three entries. For two entries, you could open 3 first and add 6–7 later, or open 2 first and add 4–8. For three entries, you could open 1 first, add 2 on the first scale-in, then 4–7 on the second; or open 2 first, add 3 on the first scale-in, then 5 on the second. If the price hasn’t reached your planned add-on levels, you don’t need to use all your trading capital. It’s fine to have some left over, but don’t overextend. Once you’ve entered your full position, set a reasonable stop-loss distance based on your final average entry price.
For the storage ETF, if it reaches the entry zone, (buy in three equal installments). You can buy spot or take a low-leverage long position in a futures contract (if you’re willing to accept funding costs) and hold it for the medium to long term.
