Yesterday's market trend was very clear—a rebound. Many friends also profited from this rebound, but that doesn't mean you can hold a long position at this level for the long term. To be honest, there is still a need to test new highs, so today's focus is on monitoring a few key support and resistance levels and observing their true reactions. If the price breaks above the resistance, it might be a good opportunity to consider entering short positions.

**BTC Trend**

Bitcoin rallied from the expected low of 89,188 yesterday. Today, it tested 91,500 again but failed to confirm a breakout. This level has become important. Looking upward, 92,500 and 93,800 are two main resistance lines; a breakout of either should be watched carefully. If it pulls back, support levels are at 89,700 and 88,900.

**SOL's Momentum**

SOL rebounded from the previous 132.4. Our previous take-profit target at 141.1 has been reached, so those who should take profits have done so. If it continues upward today, resistance is at 144.8. Support levels are at around 135.6 and 135, which can still support a rebound. If it breaks further down, the next support is at 131.3.

**ETH's Options**

Ethereum nearly tested the 3,045 support yesterday but did not break it. Today, the key is to see if the 3,150 resistance can be broken. If it goes higher, look at 3,250. If it breaks downward, support levels are at 2,990 and 2,940.

**Overall Strategy**

Although there was a rebound yesterday, its sustainability is questionable. Take profits when the move looks good and don't hold stubbornly. Today, the focus is on whether these key levels can be broken. If they are broken upward, consider opening short positions. This is not a long-only scenario; the task of topping out still continues. Strictly follow stop-loss and take-profit rules. Long and short ideas are for reference only.

Rebounds are rebounds, but we can't be greedy this time. Once the resistance level is confirmed to break, consider shorting. The rhythm is very important. --- Bitcoin is stuck at 91,500; only a true move above 92,500 counts as a real breakout. Otherwise, it's still a top formation. --- Taking profits when the move looks good is truly a golden rule. Don't think about adding positions again if you made a profit yesterday. Just keep an eye on a few key levels today. --- ETH is really in a tricky spot right now. If it can't break 3,150, it will probably test the lower support again. Shorting is a valid approach. --- Solana has already risen to 141. Should it keep going? I think those who should have exited already did. Greedy traders are just waiting to get caught. --- Exactly right. The sustainability of the rebound is indeed questionable. Instead of stubbornly holding, wait for a clearer bearish signal.

A rebound is a signal to short, I understand this logic. Knowing when to take profits is a punch to the gut; greed kills. It's time to test our psychological resilience again. Whether 92500 breaks or not depends on today. Honestly, this wave still feels like a push to the top. The 144.8 level on the SOV can't hold, and that's just how it is. Ethereum at this position is really awkward. Isn't it more important to break through key levels and open a short? That's a bit desperate. Those who hold on stubbornly are likely to lose; learn to run, everyone. 88900 is my psychological price level.

A rebound is a signal to short, I get this logic. It's that time again, if 92500 doesn't break, continue shorting. It's right to take profits when the move looks good. I was too greedy yesterday. SOL's rhythm is really tight; if 135.6 doesn't hold, it's dangerous. Ethereum doesn't seem to have much chance this round, let's wait and see. Breaking through the 92500 hurdle, on the contrary, should make us more cautious. Still aiming to top out, haha, we're just here to smash it. Bitcoin is fluctuating here; if there's no trend, I won't follow. Executing take profit and stop loss properly is what makes a winner.

Bounce and run, don't be greedy, brother. Taking profits when the time is right is the true principle. If 92,500 can't be broken, we'll keep shorting. The top of this wave hasn't been completed yet. The shorts at 141 have been closed out, it's satisfying but holding the position now is just asking for trouble. Ethereum at this level faces strong resistance, feeling like it will be stuck bouncing around 3150. It's not just about seeing a rebound as an opportunity to accumulate; we also need to watch for sustainability. Doubts are very important. Stop-loss and take-profit—these two words may be annoying, but you must stick to them. Otherwise, you'll suffer heavy losses sooner or later.

Knowing when to take profits is really the key; the greedy ones all got wiped out.
