The day BTC broke through 69,000, I almost smashed my phone.



To be honest, the market this week has been really grinding. When BTC rushed to 71,000, I thought the bull market had arrived, but then it dropped back to 69,000 overnight, nearly blowing up my long position. ETH was even worse—2,200 broke just like that, and my hanging orders got caught directly 😂

But after calming down, I realized this kind of volatility is actually normal—there's no market that only goes up without pullbacks. Shaking out the leverage allows us to go further.

I. My Position: From "All-In Gambling" to "Learning to Hold Cash"

To be honest, I used to be a typical "all-in player": when I made money I wanted to make more, when I lost I wanted to add positions to lower my cost basis. The result was that every pullback caught me fully leveraged, and when it rebounded I had no capital to add.

This time I learned my lesson: I've reduced my position to 50% and kept half in cash.

· BTC: Cost basis 68,500, holding steady
· ETH: Picked some at 2,150, planning to add more at 2,000
· Altcoins: Only kept ARB, cleared everything else

Why reduce position? Because having cash on hand gives peace of mind. If it drops I can add, if it rises I won't miss out. This feeling is much more solid than all-in gambling.

II. I Discovered Coins That Resist Decline

During these recent drops, I found a few coins that are really holding up:

· BTC: No need to say, drops the slowest and rebounds the fastest
· BNB: Steady and reliable, down half as much as the broader market
· FET: AI narrative still has momentum, people are buying the dip

If it drops more, I'm planning to add to FET. AI is this year's narrative and shouldn't end so quickly.

III. Can BTC Hold at 70,000?

My feeling is: yes, but it won't take off immediately.

Why?

1. 70,000 is a psychological level where bulls and bears are fighting—neither wants to lose
2. Funding rates have turned negative, meaning the bulls aren't that crazy anymore, actually healthier
3. The halving hasn't happened yet, time is on the bulls' side

So my strategy is simple: buy in batches below 70,000 and hold until after the halving.

IV. One Final Thought

Volatile markets aren't scary—what's scary is getting shaken out of your position. Now I just look at the charts daily but don't trade frequently anymore—do less, watch more, staying in the game is what matters.

How are you all operating lately? Are you adding or reducing positions?
