The recent market situation has indeed been quite confusing, with both bulls and bears pulling in different directions. However, from the overall trend, there are no signs of a reversal yet. My strategy remains to maintain a high short position and use small positions for T trading, considering rolling over when opportunities arise.

Carefully observing the performance on both sides is quite interesting. Most of the positive and negative news has already appeared, but the bulls have not launched a significant counterattack. What does this indicate? The proportion of long positions trapped is not low, and everyone is waiting and watching, reluctant to cut losses hastily.

Conversely, the bears have not launched a large-scale northward attack either, which suggests two possibilities: either the profit-taking has been limited from the start, or everyone has already finished their positions.

No one can predict when the market will break out of this consolidation. That’s just how the market is—taking profits when possible, cutting losses when necessary. Maintaining the right mindset is the most important.

Longs are still holding on and not admitting defeat, and shorts don't have much strength either. This is just like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. --- Basically, both sides are betting on the other to surrender first. Boring. --- I still think the reversal signal hasn't come yet. Let's keep observing. --- Taking profits or cutting losses should be done quickly; dragging things out is the most costly. --- Your mindset is impeccable; I'm just worried that others might be too greedy to hold on. --- High-altitude small position rolling? This method is the same as I thought; being steady is indeed better. --- No one wants to cut losses, and this is the only reason why it can be dragged out forever.

ngl, this is literally the 2015 consolidation playbook all over again... statistically speaking, when neither side commits, we're just one catalyst away from absolute chaos. history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme, and this rhythm? i've heard it before.

Bullish trading is really tough, there's no sign of a counterattack at all, feels like everyone is just waiting to die. Honestly, right now it's all about mindset; whoever has a better mindset will survive. Small position T to T isn't bad, just worried about accidentally flipping the T. When will this volatility end? It's so torturous.

Longs are trapped and don't want to cut losses, I can understand, but are shorts also doing nothing? Feels like they're just mutually consuming each other. --- Small position T is correct, just worried about accidentally chasing high and getting caught on the other side. --- Honestly, no one dares to move first, everyone is betting on the opponent to surrender first. --- This kind of volatile market is the most exhausting; it feels like you can make money anytime but also lose anytime. --- If you're not taking profits, you're just waiting to be eaten. In this market, mindset is indeed the most crucial. --- The lack of a counterattack from the bulls really says a lot; it seems the bottom-fishers haven't bought enough yet. --- Rolling positions is a good move, but what if it backfires? Haha. --- Limited profit-taking and no action from the shorts? That means they're waiting for that decisive moment. --- High short positions plus small T, simple and straightforward. I like this logic.

The bulls really can't hold on anymore, it doesn't seem to have much of an offensive push. Just keep shaking sideways like this, break below sooner rather than later. Having the right mindset is truly the most important; otherwise, you'll get frustrated to death. Small positions T down, anyway, no big moves. Take profits and run, stop-loss should be quick, that's enough.

Long positions are really too difficult, all trapped and exhausted haha Short positions also have no action, this game is already rotten Anyway, just small position T, admitting loss is the key Making T in volatility is how to make money, don't think about going all-in Neither bulls nor bears have the strength, I'm just waiting for the day to be proven wrong

The bulls are inactive, and both longs and shorts lack confidence. This market is just testing each other. I agree, small positions going in and out is the right way to stay alive. Don't think about getting rich overnight. After all this turbulence, everyone is exhausted. I'm more concerned about when the next confirmed signal will come. Well said, accepting losses and cutting losses helps you survive longer than hoping for a miracle. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy. In a volatile market, making profits through T trading is actually the way to go. The only problem is greed—trying to catch the bottom or top will turn you into a leek.

The bulls are so timid, and the bears are also unmotivated. Honestly, no one is confident. To be honest, T with small positions is correct; anyway, this market isn't going anywhere. Having the right mindset is useless; you have to survive first. It's the same old story of "eat what you should and admit what you should," but when it really comes to critical moments, you're still caught in a trap. Waiting for a reversal signal? Bro, when are we supposed to wait until?
