Most retail traders lose money not during bear markets, but during the sharpest breakout candles of a bull run.
Watching
$BTC smash past 86K triggers that familiar panic to market-buy at the top, usually right before a liquidation wick wipes out an account because there was no invalidation plan.
I have seen this movie play out across multiple cycles. Price held the 84.5K floor with authority and ripped through 1-hour resistance, yet chasing green candles blindly here is how portfolios get trapped. A disciplined setup means looking for measured entries around $86,650 to $86,800, anchoring a tight stop-loss at $85,900 where the breakout thesis fails.
If the trend holds structure, taking partial profit at $87,900 lets you de-risk before eyeing that extended parabolic target at $89,500. Surviving these violent expansions is what keeps your capital intact for when volume eventually rotates into
$ETH and major alts.
Are you taking entries on these consolidation retests, or waiting for a deeper pullback before stepping in?
