The recent volatility in BTC indeed provides an opportunity for trading. Resistance levels for shorting, support levels for long positions, the logic is clear, and stop-loss points are well defined. The problem is—very few people can strictly follow their plans. Most think it's simple, but once they get started, everything falls apart.

The biggest test is mindset. A 3 to 5 percent gain may seem insignificant, but you must understand that consistent, day-by-day accumulation is the right way to achieve stable profits. Unfortunately, many people are too greedy, always aiming for a big move, but what happens? Small losses turn into big losses.

Honestly, the current market conditions are essentially a filter. Those who can execute mechanically will be able to continuously profit from market fluctuations. The market's rules are right in front of you; it all depends on whether you have the skill to understand and master them.

You're right, these days are indeed a good time for T trading, but the problem is that knowing and doing are worlds apart. I especially agree with that saying: most people just can't keep up with changes. When they see market fluctuations, they panic, stop-losses go out the window, and greed starts to take over. Mechanical execution is really the key, but it's easier said than done. I've seen too many people fail because of one or two moments of greed—being satisfied with 3 points and insisting on betting for 5 points, only to be hit back and go bankrupt. Honestly, if you could really master your mindset, those who consistently earn 5 points a month would already be financially free. But most people just can't do it.

You're right, but I haven't seen many people actually do it. --- Many people get stuck on mindset, including myself. --- Mechanical execution is easy to say, but when you're losing money, it's easy to get reckless. --- Accumulating 3 to 5 points is indeed stable, but it tests patience too much. --- The phrase "market screening people" is spot on, hits the nail on the head. --- The problem is that knowing and doing are two different things. --- I've seen too many influencers talk smoothly, but their own trades still get trapped. --- What I fear most is the moment when plans can't keep up with changes. --- I understand the rules, but my mindset collapses during execution. --- Actually, most people lose due to greed, not because of lack of skill.

That's right, it's just missing the word "patience." Watching the market all day makes you want to act, but as soon as you do, you lose everything. --- Mechanical execution sounds simple, but probably less than 5% can truly do it. Greed is really a deadly flaw. --- That's why most people end up losing money; a slight lack of discipline causes their mindset to collapse. --- 3 to 5 points, isn't that tempting? But they wait for a double, and in the end, a single limit-down wipes them out. --- Support and resistance are clear, but the problem is still self-discipline. How many can really strictly follow stop-loss rules? --- It looks simple, but in practice, all kinds of temptations arise. One FOMO can ruin everything. --- Everyone understands the principle of accumulating small wins to achieve big victories, but no one truly believes in it.

According to the market microstructure theory in the white paper, this pressure-resistance trading framework is essentially the spot version of token weighted voting—the on-chain real-time collision of bullish and bearish governance proposals. It's just that no one has formalized them into an economic model. It is worth noting that the "mechanized execution" issue mentioned by the author, from an incentive compatibility perspective, actually exposes the irrational pricing behavior of human psychology—this is the fundamental reason why automated DAO trading committees can outperform humans. Data shows that a continuous 3-5 percentage point return compounded over a 200-day cycle can achieve a Sharpe ratio of over 70%, but most people, due to cognitive biases, directly veto these governance proposals. In simple terms, you need to have the discipline of a smart contract; otherwise, the market will punish your greed with withdrawals. This wave of market activity is indeed screening for those who understand game theory.
