Most retail traders lose the bulk of their capital right during the strongest bull legs because they mistake high leverage for conviction. It is painful watching your entire position get wiped on a standard 10% pullback just because you chased green candles at local highs without an invalidation plan.

Looking at the charts, $BTC pushed past $83k and suddenly everyone expects a straight line to $100k without any breathing room. When the crowd gets this uniformly bullish, liquidity usually sits in the opposite direction. The open interest is heavily skewed to late longs, which makes the market vulnerable to a swift squeeze before any real trend continuation.

A sharp wick down toward the $75k support zone would easily wipe out that excessive leverage and reset the funding rates across major pairs like $ETH and $SOL . Markets rarely reward the consensus view, and shaking out late breakout buyers before building an actual base for all-time highs is classic price action behavior.

Are you protecting capital here with stops down to 75k, or are you still adding to long positions at these levels?
