Bitcoin has already approached the 97 level in mid-January. If it can reach 98, it is highly likely to push towards the psychological barrier of $100,000.

Currently, the main resistance level for Ethereum is around 3400. In the short term, the tendency is still to adopt a high-level short strategy, but be sure to set stop-losses. How it rises is how it falls—this phrase is especially useful in this round of market行情.

For friends who want to go long-term bullish, my advice is not to rush into the market. It’s better to wait for a pullback or a dip to re-enter; the win rate will be higher.

Finally, position management is always the top priority. Whether you are bullish or bearish, surviving is the prerequisite for making money—control leverage well, strictly execute stop-losses, and refuse to hold against the trend. If you master these basics, the market won’t be too difficult for you. Everyone should adjust their strategy according to their own risk tolerance.

BTC-4,18%

ETH-4,86%

Is the $100,000 really coming? How come I, as a retail investor, always miss out? Is ETH 3400 really that strong? It feels like I'm constantly hovering around this level. Stop-loss sounds easy to say, but you know you can't really execute it. When the position drops, you just want to hold on. Waiting for a pullback? You guys always like to catch falling knives. Better to focus on good risk management. I've heard about position management a thousand times, but I still go all-in when losing money, really.

Wait for 100,000 or wait for a pullback, I choose to wait for my salary to be paid --- It's the same old trick of shorting at high levels, the people who trusted you last time are still bottom fishing now --- No matter how good your position management is, it's still a moment of emotional explosion leading to reckless actions --- Pumping opportunity? Bro, you overestimate my reaction speed --- "How it goes up is how it comes down"—this phrase really healed my mindset

Isn't it too late to run at 98? Greed really can be deadly. --- Stop-loss is easy to say but really hard to do. I got liquidated last year because I didn't set a stop-loss. Now I get PTSD just reading articles like this. --- $100,000... Just thinking about it makes me excited, but don't let this number go to your head. Stay alive first. --- Short at high levels? I think we should wait. Entering now is just gambling, too risky. --- How it goes up and then falls down, I've heard this too many times. I never remember it, and every time I get proven wrong. --- Long-term bulls advise to slow down. That's good advice. I lost a lot because I was too eager to buy in. --- Leverage kills without bloodshed. Everyone really shouldn't play with fire. --- Dipping in and bottom-fishing sounds simple, but in practice, no one can be sure, and it's easy to get swept out. --- Position management is a well-worn topic, but nobody listens... including myself. --- We really need to focus on the $3400 level. If it breaks through, there’s hope; if it can't hold, we might have to drop even further.

You can't even touch 98, and you still want ten thousand? Let's just stay alive first. --- I also see this position as bearish on ETH, but my brother is right, stop-loss is the lifesaver. --- It's another story of waiting for a pullback. Can we wait for this round? --- Position management is indeed the key, leverage really can kill people. --- The rise is so fast, and the fall is just as quick. This market is so unpredictable. --- It's easy to say not to hard-stand orders, but it's really damn hard to do. --- Psychological barriers, once broken, are broken. Don't always think about whole numbers. --- Waiting for a dip until your mentality collapses is my norm. Better to just get on board locally. --- The term "risk tolerance" basically means how much you can lose.

100,000 looks quite uncertain, but this approach is indeed reliable --- It's that old saying again, how it rises and how it falls, no doubt about it --- Short-selling idea, huh? I'm just waiting here to be proven wrong --- Stop-loss is easy to say but really hard to do, I always hold on until I explode --- Don't rush to get in, I think I've heard this sentence a thousand times haha --- Position management, easy to say, but when you're in the market, who cares about that? --- If you can't break the 98 threshold, then stop bragging --- Long-term bullishness requires waiting for a pullback, otherwise this entry point is too weak --- Everyone knows the risks of leverage, just can't control it --- Survive to make money, that's the truth

98 is just about done, pushing to 100,000 is only a matter of time, but don't get washed out by the whales. ETH has been a bit weak in this wave, holding tightly at 3400 without moving. I sincerely advise everyone not to resist stubbornly; taking a loss is not shameful. Wait a bit, brothers. When the dip comes, get on board. Don't contribute to the harvesting data for the leek machine. I've said this about position management a hundred times: staying alive and making money is the most important, really. This round of the market depends on who can endure without chasing the highs. How are those who chased now? Set your stop-loss properly, and don't panic. Don't be greedy with leverage, or the market will bankrupt you in minutes. If the 98 level is really broken, it might really take off afterward, but I still have some doubts about the whales. Don't rush; a pullback is a good opportunity. Those chasing the high now are just taking on the bag.

nah this "10k is inevitable" cope hits different when you remember 2018. btc pumps are correlation traps if you're not watching the leverage ratio—one liquidity crisis and everyone's getting liquidated at the same price.

Bro, I've heard this set of theories too many times. The key is still to stay alive; if you die, everything else is pointless. --- If I really reach 100,000, I'll go all in directly. Anyway, I've already lost once. --- I'm just worried that after 98, it will drop straight down again, and it'll be another wave of retail investor harvest. --- Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to critical moments, no one is willing to cut. --- Waiting for a pullback? Bro, if you wait too long, it might be at a high, making it even more painful then. --- Position management is indeed important. I just didn't do well in this aspect, now I'm full position and trapped. --- Ethereum at 3400 seems to have held several times, feeling like a breakout is hopeless. --- How it goes up, it also comes down. That’s a harsh truth, a slap in the face. --- Don’t talk so much, just one sentence: don’t be greedy, don’t die. --- Long-term bullish? Not in a hurry? Then when is the right time? Waiting forever might be more costly.
