🔥 Iran rejects calls for a temporary ceasefire
Tehran says it does not accept any deadline or pressure from the U.S., and will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz just in exchange for a temporary ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and the intermediary parties are said to be discussing a 45-day ceasefire plan, since the scenario of quickly finalizing an agreement within 48 hours is almost impossible.
48 hours have passed, the deadline has been moved again—now they’re considering a 45-day ceasefire. The headline milestones keep shifting.
At this point, is it time to keep pushing for longs, or just shor

April 6 Midday Silk Road and Suggestions
Bitcoin has followed a textbook 1-2-3 rule on the hourly chart. Since this happened over the weekend, I didn't believe that Bitcoin could reverse on the hourly chart. After all, weekends tend to have either no movement or large swings, with random pump and dump actions. Bitcoin first broke through the yellow downward trend line marked in the chart, completing the first step of the breakout. The second step was a pullback that did not create a new low, meaning it did not break below the support zone of 66,465-66,225. The third step was making a new high,

$ARIA 's 30m sister has started to show some signs, brothers 😤
The current market capitalization at this level is still far behind several targets that have already gone through a round in the same sector — they at least doubled back then under this volume structure. $ARIA 's volume bars are starting to warm up now, but the price is still stuck at the low end without moving. This gap is the upward space that the big players have left for themselves. 💀
The sister roughly calculated that at this level, the volume has decreased by about 30% to 40% over four or five 30m K-lines — it’s not that n

Stop loss is the faith I gained through liquidation
#My Trading Experience Sharing
When I first entered the scene, I always thought that stop loss was "cutting meat," and I would never admit defeat. As a result, last year I heavily invested in altcoins, and from a 30% unrealized profit, I was wiped out to zero in just two hours. That night, I stared at the candlestick chart, my hands trembling, and it was only when my account hit zero that I realized: the market never pities those who rely on luck.
Now, I always set a stop loss when opening a position, and trailing take profit has become my ir

Second order of the day
The second installment of the short-to-medium term strategy has landed—congratulations to General Manager Zhang, who has only been here for a little over a week, for holding the 2300-point range and cashing out nearly 24,000 dollars. Your trust won’t be let down—precision is the law of survival in the market! $BTC $GT #假期持币指南 #加密市场行情震荡

$BTC is ranging between 65K–68K, a zone that looks more like accumulation than weakness.
History shows when Bitcoin moves sideways for long, the next expansion is usually aggressive. Patience here often separates smart positioning from late chasing.
Breakout or fakeout?

Bitcoin has never closed two consecutive years in the red…
And yet, 2026 is trying to be the first.
Personally? I don’t see it.
Q3–Q4 looks primed for a strong move, and I expect the year to finish green.
Then again… I’m heavily in $ETH, so there’s always a chance I’m just biased 😅
