Recently, I've been closely watching the minute-level K-line charts of multiple trading pairs, but I gradually realize that I need to focus more on macro structural analysis, as this is the foundation for understanding medium to long-term market trends. My usual style is to maximize certainty as much as possible, so I tend to be conservative in trading and never delegate decision-making to others. But on the other hand, once I identify a good opportunity, I act decisively. Recently, I mainly observe the market with small capital, practicing with minimal risk to keep my learning costs low.
The day before yesterday, Bitcoin started to surge, and I noticed that the initiation time was between 3:00 and 5:00 AM on January 10, 2026. After the hourly candle at 5:00 stabilized above 90,000 and didn't fall back below it, I basically confirmed that the upward move had begun. Although there were two more oscillation opportunities afterward to jump in, I didn't act. The reason is straightforward—bears and bulls are fighting fiercely, and the price movement of Bitcoin seems different from my previous impressions. Having not participated deeply for a few years, from my trading performance, it indeed has a somewhat "demonized" vibe.
Later, I thought about trying to participate, but it didn't give a decent pullback opportunity; instead, it broke below 94,000 faster than expected. To avoid regrets, I wanted at least a sense of involvement, so I decided to do a super short-term trade—initially planning to exit in 10 minutes. I opened a small position with Ant, leveraged 50x, and timed my entry right at the peak. On the chart, I marked the resistance level, and from the perspective of bullish volume, I judged it would definitely break through. I also estimated the target for the breakout. The order was successfully filled, and I caught this wave of the market.
Not long after exiting, it surged another roughly 100 points, then suddenly dipped slightly. But for me, this was just part of validating my judgment; profit figures were not my primary concern. In less than two hours, it shot up to 97,000. I patted my thigh, feeling no regrets. Making money is not urgent; building a solid mindset is the real foundation. Bull and bear cycles will occur countless times, and only those who survive until the end are the true winners.
