Today’s market movement was quite good. I was watching when the price dropped to the low of 0.2167, and I had already closed my short position at 0.2176 with a profit. I immediately opened a long position at 0.2187, as the support here is still quite solid.

The overall position plan is as follows: the first target is at 0.2265. If we break through smoothly, the second take-profit level at 0.2340 will take over. The risk defense line is set at 0.2140; if it breaks below, I will decisively cut losses. This kind of switch between short and long positions is quite common in choppy markets. The key is to set proper take-profit and stop-loss levels and not let emotions control the rhythm. Let’s see if the rebound momentum can continue.

Everyone who went long got filled, the luck is on your side, but it still depends on whether it can break above 0.2265 later. --- 0.2187 is indeed a precise entry point; the key is to hold the support line below. --- It's another routine lesson on take profit and stop loss. It sounds simple, but very few can really stick to it when doing. --- Haha, volatile markets often present such switching opportunities, but I have to admit the rhythm is quite good. --- I'm just worried that the rebound might lack strength; there's still some distance to 0.2265. --- I like this logic; setting a stop loss makes the mindset much more stable. --- I'm a bit tempted, but recently I tend to exit early at the first target level, just afraid of a pullback.

0.2176 Short position profits secured, quite quick on the draw --- My biggest fear with this back-and-forth switching is getting caught in the middle. Do you really always hit the right entry points? --- Support levels set so meticulously, but I'm just worried a black swan event might suddenly break through. --- It's easy to say, but the key is to stay alive. Let's see if it truly breaks below 0.2140. --- Emotions are indeed the hardest part. I often just get out and then want to chase again, only to get trapped. --- Can the rebound momentum continue? Honestly, I'm not that optimistic right now.

This wave of momentum is well captured, but I'm just worried about a pullback and breaking the support later. --- The selling point is precise, entering at the 0.2187 level feels very comfortable. --- The key is to hold the 0.2140 level; once it breaks, you must cut losses decisively, don't hesitate. --- Switching between short and long positions with this strategy works well in consolidation, but discipline is required. --- Waiting for a rebound to 0.2265 to see if it can break through smoothly—that's the real test. --- It's easy to say, but in execution, emotions can easily take over. --- If the support level is so clear, just wait patiently below. --- The target of 0.2340 is a bit far; if it drops in the middle, it will be uncomfortable.

Hmm, setting stop-loss and take-profit so clearly does show some skill. I'm just worried that once emotions take over later, everything will be forgotten. I've seen this long-short switching tactic many times, but the key is still to withstand the pullback. If the 0.2140 line is broken, you really have to admit defeat; otherwise, it's easy to get deeper and deeper. I feel like your rhythm this time is pretty good, much better than those reckless kills. Let's see if you can catch the rebound and reap the benefits of this wave. Keep it up, bro.

Longs can be eaten too, this guy's rhythm is pretty good I'm also watching around 0.2180, just waiting to break through 0.2265 This wave of support is indeed solid, feels like it can push higher I've also marked the 0.2140 line, break it and run Setting take profit and stop loss points is the most important, don't get dizzy from the market By the way, this kind of quick switch trading really tests your mentality Let's see if it can continue, currently it feels okay

Hmm, this hand switch is a bit flashy. Moving from 0.2176 directly to 0.2187 to go long, the rhythm is pretty good. --- Can't support below 0.2140, I’d be laughing. Feels like a false breakout. --- Your take profit and stop loss are set quite clearly, just see if you can withstand the subsequent sell-off. --- Everyone can make money when the market is good, the key is whether you can hold on during the decline. --- The 0.2340 level is a bit far; let’s see if 0.2265 can be pushed up first. --- Brothers making money both short and long, this market really feels like a freebie. --- I’m just worried this rebound is a trap to lure more, then a waterfall drops back to zero. --- This operation is fine, just see how the market moves next, continue to observe. --- Still feel the need to manage risks, don’t get shaken out.

Damn, this support level is hit so precisely. Entered at 0.2187, I give it a full score. Switching between short and long truly tests psychological resilience. Most people's mindsets have already blown up. Setting a proper stop-loss is the key. Those trading based on emotions are all on the liquidation list. Whether this rebound can hold at 0.2265 is the real question. Let's see next week.

Oh my, the rebound strength is a bit fierce. Hurry up and catch up. Closing the short position with profit is really good; not being greedy is the key to winning. The 0.2187 level is indeed solid, but I'm worried about a potential reverse dump later. The target setting is good, but I still think 0.2340 is a bit risky; I'm not confident about it. I feel this wave of market rhythm is well grasped, but the key is to hold the stop-loss line. Relying on emotions to trade crypto will eventually get you cut; your logic is finally clear. Not many people can stick to their plans; let's see how far you can go.
