This afternoon's market movement followed a very "textbook" rhythm for Ethereum.
At around 2930, it suddenly started to rise, breaking above 3000. A large bullish candle ignited market sentiment, and many saw it as a "sudden takeoff."
But those familiar with the market sense understand—this move wasn't that complicated. Weakening US dollar index, concentrated stop-losses by bears, and a key resistance level being broken. Capital was simply doing what it was supposed to do, going with the trend.
My trading logic is very clear:
Entered the first position at 2931, added to the position when it retraced to 2885. The highest was 3003. The entire move captured over 70 points of profit, and the market gave all the profits it should.
Didn’t catch the extreme price? Yes.
But I never chase the "perfect screenshot." Being able to fully execute the trading plan is already a victory.
Many only look at profit and loss numbers, but they don’t see what’s behind—late nights glued to the screen, repeatedly confirming the details of the K-line structure, forcing oneself to stay calm during the most volatile moments. These are the core of trading.
Trading is never about passion and risking everything; it’s about endurance and a systematic approach.
Tomorrow is December 31st, and also the last trading day of 2025. This year has seen both tailwinds and headwinds, late nights, and persistence. The account is still here, the trading rhythm remains, and the risk control system is becoming more refined.
For this closing battle, I don’t seek explosive gains, just steady and reliable execution.
2026 will be more complex and more worth looking forward to. We will continue to speak with strength and professionalism.

Really, I totally agree that not aiming for perfect screenshots is the way to go. What's earned and in hand is truly real.

The textbook market is great, but the ones who truly make money are never those who follow the crowd.

70 points are enough; the greedy ones are dead. This is the true realization of seasoned investors.

A prudent trading strategy is the key, and those who pursue perfect screenshots are just self-serving in the leek field.

Being satisfied with 70 points is enough. People like me are still struggling to understand why I didn't reach 3003... Learn from this.
