The short positions are obvious, many traps lurking—stay vigilant and stick to your bottom line!

Just arrived at my uncle’s house to celebrate the New Year and immediately saw: a few younger generations, acting without manners, playing on their phones and disrespecting elders, speaking without restraint!

My uncle immediately slammed the table and scolded: Nowadays, kids have no manners when they meet people, behave poorly, don’t understand rules, lack reverence, and are social scum and family shame!

Both of my uncle’s children are PhD graduates, relying on knowledge to establish themselves for life. One sentence hits the point: Education is the bottom line of being a person; cognition is the watershed of life.

This scene directly reflects the crypto world! Currently, retail investors are exactly like these unruly kids: no reverence for trends, no discipline under pressure, rushing wildly at dips, with no rules at all. Ethereum surged to 1996, just shy of breaking 2000; then it retraced to 1960, forming a short-term double top!

❌ I took a risk and tried a small rebound but didn’t catch it. Let’s preserve capital and walk away—pure carelessness!

Bitcoin hit a high of 68600, with strong support at 67000-67800. Daily candles show a doji star indicating consolidation. The 70,000 level is a strong resistance. Indicators are bullish, but price action is lagging and volume is shrinking. The main trend is clearly bearish. The 4-hour rally has completely lost momentum. On the 1-hour chart, a strong resistance zone forms between 68300-68800. After a weak short-term rebound, a decline is inevitable!

Grandpa’s words hit home: Be polite and well-educated in life; follow rules and understand the market. The main players are the elders who know manners—adhering to rules, controlling rhythm, knowing when to enter and exit. Retail investors are unruly kids—shouting, chasing rallies, panic selling, with no reverence.

The main players set a proper table of rules; retail investors flip the table and scramble, ending up kicked out and complaining about the food not being good. Trading is about respecting rules—wait for pressure levels to act, avoid greed, recklessness, and luck. That’s the true education of making money!

✅ BTC
Entry: Gradually short around 68400-68800
Stop loss: 69100 (exit decisively if broken, don’t be stubborn)
Target: 67400-67000 (take profits when reached)

✅ ETH
Entry: Short in the 1980-2000 range
Stop loss: 2020
Take profit: 1920-1900 (precise exit, don’t be greedy)

Lacking cognition, just pretending with manners; lacking reverence, rules are the safety net.
In 2026, the Year of the Horse, making money is fundamental, but more importantly, improving your skills and value so you can seize more opportunities! Don’t be an uninformed retail investor or an uneducated gambler. Follow rules, respect reverence, and align with the right mindset—only then can you stand firm in the market and earn your share.
