Long position on Bitcoin acquired on February 1st, held for exactly 5 days. Just now took 80% profit, leaving 20% to continue betting on whether Bitcoin can break through 94,760. Honestly, the experience of holding this position over these 5 days has been truly torturous—being stopped out almost three times in the middle, each time just a few dozen dollars away, only to be pushed back up forcefully. There were also two instances where the price was about to hit the first take-profit level but was hammered back down, which was really unpleasant.



Fortunately, the weekend market movements saved me these two days; the rebound directly saved my position, or it would have been blown already. Although I haven't reached my ideal take-profit target yet, holding for so long is really frustrating—after all, I am just a person who needs to release pressure.

Let's tally up the results of these 5 days: the long position in the red box earned $2,100, the secondary long in the blue box lost $48, and the Bitcoin short position hit stop-loss and lost another $1,100. After deducting these two losing trades, there is a net profit of $500, enough to buy two roasted chickens. Honestly, not losing is a win; I never hide my losing trades—if I lose, I lose. Isn't honesty better?

Looking at Bitcoin's technicals now, although it tested the resistance at 93,800 and didn't hold, to continue pushing higher, it needs to effectively break through 93,800 first, then challenge the previous high of 94,768. Recently, it's advisable to avoid going against the trend with short positions. If you must short, try small positions—absolutely avoid heavy leverage. The most important thing in trading is to stay alive. Listen to advice, eat well, sleep properly, and don't overdo it.

I also experienced these 5 days of agony, the feeling of almost breaking out by just a few dollars is truly intense. Luckily, the weekend saved the day.

It took 5 days to only reach 80% profit-taking. I have to say, your mental resilience is truly strong; I would have broken down long ago.

This wave truly tests your mentality; I almost got knocked out several times. The rebound over the weekend really saved me, but I still have to say that holding for too long can easily become frustrating.

5 days of struggle, almost wiped out, this is trading. As long as you're alive, you've won.

Wow, these 5 days of tug-of-war have been really exhausting. I understand the feeling of being knocked back just a few dollars short. But a $2100 profit is still solid, and continuing to gamble with the remaining 20% is also interesting. Just consider it leaving some hope for myself.
