When $BTC dropped back to around 80,000 yesterday, I actually had the urge to open a short position. But in the end, I held back. The reason is simple: there had already been a wide-range consolidation, and around 80,000 is clearly a support level. At this point, betting on a breakdown just to make the short look "reasonable" seemed unnecessary to me. As a result, the lowest point last night touched around 80,100, then it pulled back all the way up, now back above 81,400. This basically aligns with my market judgment from yesterday: the consolidation is not over yet. Currently, the 15-minute BOLL middle band is at 81,095, the upper band at 81,427, which just happens to be a short-term resistance area. Above that, there is previous high resistance near 81,600, while 80,800 and 80,100 below are supports I will continue to watch. So I’m still not in a hurry to chase. Not opening a short yesterday and missing a profit is nothing; but if I had opened a short on impulse and the market reversed upward, that would have been really painful. Trading is sometimes not about "seizing every opportunity," but knowing which opportunities are actually not worth taking. Being able to hold back is also part of trading.
