#数字货币市场洞察 I've been holding this short position for almost a whole day. When the price dropped to 89,500, I didn't stop out and exit. Then it rebounded nearly 1,000 points, so I have to reassess the situation. In short-term trading, the worst thing you can do is stubbornly hold onto a position. There were actually a few good opportunities today, but I ended up getting stuck because of this direction.

Here's my plan moving forward: If I see another short opportunity in the 91,000 to 91,500 range, I'm ready to enter. The target below is 88,500, with further support at the round number 86,000. The logic for $BTC 's price action is similar. For short-term trading, you still have to stay flexible—don't let one or two trades drag down your entire rhythm.

BTC-2.81%

ETH-5.13%

Haha, fine, it's the same old story. Clinging to the position while the most taboo outcome is waiting for another rebound... This wave is really outrageous. The move at 89500 clearly could have stopped the loss and exited alive, but I had to wait for a thousand-point rebound to wake up. I calculated how many opportunities I wasted all day... Honestly, short-term trading is just like this, tormenting people. My mind is full of integers like 91000 to 91500, 86000... But I still have to hold on. Anyway, the bullish belief can't be lost, right...

Oh, sticking to it is really a terminal disease, and if you get trapped in it, it's over. Yesterday's wave was the same, and when it rebounded, it should run. 91000-91500 I'm also squatting to see if I can copy it to the end this time. The short term is the mentality, and it is outrageous to ruin a single day. The support of 88500 does not look very stable, and it depends on whether 86000 can be held. BTC and ETH are now playing the same path, and if they can't keep up with the rhythm, they will lose.

I totally get what it’s like to stubbornly hold onto a position—I’ve learned that lesson the hard way with a bloody loss. To be honest, I really should have exited at 89500. I only regretted it when I waited for the rebound. Flexibility is key; don’t let a single trade dictate your entire rhythm. Re-entering at 91000-91500—I get the idea behind this level now. The biggest risk in short-term trading is rigid thinking; you’ve got to stay sharp at all times. This rebound really messed up my rhythm. I need to rethink my strategy. The 86000 round number is definitely a strong support. Looks promising. It’s really tough being stuck in a position—it’s cost me so many opportunities. 88500 feels like a solid target. I’ll keep a close eye on it going forward. That’s how short-term trading is—you have to be quick to switch, or you’ll get trapped.

This is the price of greed, watching opportunities slip away right before your eyes. Holding onto a position stubbornly is really a killer for short-term trading, that's so true. Going short at 91,000? Feels a bit like gambling, better wait for confirmation. No stop loss at 89,500, that's pretty ruthless. Need to be smarter next time. I'm also watching the 86,000 level, but I feel like the probability of it breaking isn't high. That line about one or two trades dragging down your rhythm really hits home—I punish myself like that a lot. Instead of waiting for everything to line up perfectly, it's more efficient to admit mistakes quickly and exit.

Holding onto a position stubbornly is really a deadly mistake. I was stuck all day, but luckily I didn’t close everything at 89500. I’m also watching 91000-91500. I need to learn my lesson this time. In short-term trading, one bad trade can ruin everything. Now I get in and out quickly, otherwise my mindset will collapse.

Stubbornly holding onto a position is truly the poison of trading. Today’s rebound was a slap in the face. Another day of being trapped—flexibility is the key, bro. Should have cut at 89500; it’s too late to regret now. Waiting for an opportunity at 91000-91500? I think it’s doubtful; the rhythm looks a bit messy. Short-term trading is just a gamble. If you can’t win the bet, don’t stay in it too long—that’s the real truth.

I have this problem of stubbornly holding onto positions too, it's just greed at play... Next time I must be more decisive.

Stubbornly holding onto a position is really a killer for short-term trading, I can totally relate. One trade can mess up your entire rhythm, it feels so bad. If there’s another opportunity around 91000, I’ll follow, but I need to learn my lesson. You have to be decisive in short-term trading; being indecisive really leads to losses. This rebound was totally unexpected, next time I need to set a stop-loss and not let this happen again. I’ve taken note of those 88500 and 86000 levels, waiting to see what happens. Being inflexible in short-term trading is just asking for trouble, I have to admit it.
