In the past two days, the market has been rebounding amidst fluctuations, but I'm still holding onto my positions tightly.

There's still quite a gap between the current price and my preset short entry point, and as for a true reversal signal? That's even further away.

Today, I want to talk about why I’m increasingly leaning toward right-side trading and trend-following strategies.

In the game of trading, you can't avoid this choice: do you catch the bottom and go for a rebound, or do you wait for confirmation before entering?

Let’s start with left-side trading—it’s like trying to catch a falling knife before it hits the ground. If you catch it steadily, congrats, you bought at the floor price and look like a genius; but more often, the blade slices your hand, a bloody reminder of what it means to "catch a falling knife."

Now, let’s look at right-side trading: you stand aside, watch the knife drop to the floor, bounce a few times, and only after it comes to a complete stop and you’re sure it’s safe, you bend down to pick it up. Sure, the knife is a little higher than when it first hit the ground, but your fingers are intact—that’s the margin of safety with right-side trading.

The core logic of right-side trading is straightforward: I don't bet on what the future will bring; I only trust what has already happened. When Bitcoin breaks above a downtrend line and starts to climb steadily, we enter on the right half of the "V" shape.

But here's the question—why is it that once BTC breaks through a key price level, it's highly likely to keep rising afterward?

It’s not mystical; it’s determined by market structure. After a breakout, there are two forces "forced" to push you higher:

**First, the area above the resistance is a vacuum zone.** There’s no historical high-volume trading area up there, and very few people are willing to sell at those prices. So after a breakout, even a small amount of buying can easily push prices higher. This kind of "resistance-free rally" is like a flood bursting through a dike—there’s nothing left to stop it, and the momentum naturally gets released to the fullest.
