The market is about to close, and today $NEAR really deserves a chat.
It was up +6.50% all day, with trading volume of 195 million USDT—one of the most active coins on today’s board. The price climbed from 4.7370 all the way to 5.1800, and now it has pulled back to around 5.0790.
This kind of move suggests the capital hasn’t left yet, but short-term profit-takers are also selling. The most important thing to watch tomorrow is whether it can continue to expand volume around 5.0790. If the volume can’t keep up, it will most likely pull back a bit; if it continues to surge in volume, then upside room will open up.
Have you caught this move today? Do you still have a good outlook on this coin tomorrow?
Some truths, you only understand after you’ve suffered loss.
In the section about pullback continuation and bottoms, there’s a principle: All bottoms, at the time, look like pullback continuations; and all pullback continuations, at the time, look like bottoms. What distinguishes them is not the pattern, but how timing and volume work together.
Take today’s $ETH as an example: now it’s 2,668, with a 24h change of -2.04%. This kind of price action neatly confirms the idea above. It’s not coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
The more I think about it, the more it feels like that in the end, trading isn’t about techniques—it’s about temperament. When you need to wait, you have to wait.
By the afternoon, ETH is around 0.242500, down 2.49% over 24h.
The intraday range is 0.239800 to 0.254700, with a trading volume of 37 million USDT. Both bulls and bears are making no big moves right now, and everyone is waiting for a signal.
If it can break above 0.254700 with volume in the afternoon, that means the bulls still have some intent; on the other hand, if it retests 0.239800 and still can’t hold, then this round may be coming to an end. For contract traders, what’s most taboo at this moment is going heavy on a directional bet, since a single sharp move can wipe you out.
For this afternoon’s market, are you staying on the sidelines and watching, or making a quick short-term trade?
I read an old saying and suddenly it clicked with today’s market.
In Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper, there’s a principle: the whitepaper never mentions prices from start to finish—it only talks about how to solve the double-spending problem. Over the decades since, people who use it mostly discuss price; nobody talks about that problem. Technology and speculation have always been two separate lines.
Take today’s $QNT as an example: it’s currently at 284.31, up +17.41% in 24 hours. This kind of chart perfectly confirms the point above. It’s not coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
Between knowing and doing, there are several rounds of liquidation.
Quick glance at your plate during lunchtime. $PUMP Today’s trend is quite strong, up +17.55% in the last 24h.
Now the price is 0.005706, with an intraday high of 0.006032 and a low of 0.004817. The trading volume is 0.85B USDT. This volume indicates it’s not just small-scale action—there is indeed capital paying attention to it.
But I still want to say this: chasing the high during midday has a cost. Many coins pump a bit at noon, then start to pull back in the afternoon. If you like it, rather than rushing in now, it’s better to wait for confirmation of support/acceptance in the afternoon.
At this midday level, have you already boarded, or are you waiting for a pullback?
I just came across a passage and froze for a moment.
In a quote about trading from Livermore, there’s a lesson: Livermore said that the trades with the biggest losses are often not the result of making a wrong judgment, but of failing to stop the loss decisively. His exact words were: The reason most traders lose money is that they’re unwilling to admit that they’re wrong.
Take today’s $QNT as an example: now it’s at 292.40, up +28.88% in 24h. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself on the chart.
The market won’t hold back just because you understand the principles. Keeping some ammo beats everything else.
I swept through the early session—$QNT is kind of interesting today; it surged straight up by +40.47%.
Right now the price is 292.79, with the intraday high/low at 307.30 / 207.99. Trading volume is 179 million USDT, which suggests capital is actively buying rather than random retail “just pushing.”
For a coin that suddenly spikes volume in the early session, the two most common scenarios are: either the good news was sniffed out by the capital beforehand, or the main players are running a probe. In either case, the worst thing you can do at this moment is blindly chase. It’s already gone up so much—chasing in carries more risk than opportunity.
If you’re already in, keep an eye on the 207.99 level. If it breaks, you should get out. If you haven’t entered yet, it’s better to wait for a pullback to a support area before considering it.
Beyond the order book, let me talk about something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
In the section about misunderstandings regarding win rate, there’s a principle: People who chase a high win rate will instinctively take profits early and stubbornly hold through losses. In the end, their win rate looks great, but their account looks terrible. It’s the risk-reward ratio that determines life or death.
Take today’s $QNT as an example: right now it’s 272.15, up +21.95% over 24 hours. This kind of market just happens to confirm the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself on the chart.
The market won’t hold back just because you understand the reasoning.
ETH is currently hovering around 14.53 in the early session, with a 24h move of -7.70%.
Last night’s high/low was 15.61 / 14.41, and overall price action has been ranging within the band. The most critical early-session focus is whether it can hold the 14.41 level—if it breaks, the downside room will open up; if it holds, you can look for a small rebound in the short term.
Trading volume is 0.80B USDT—it's not large—which suggests early-session funds are still watching and haven't clearly chosen a direction. At times like this, the worst thing is to act impulsively; better to first see clearly before making a move.
Take a quick look before the market opens. BTC is currently stuck at 83,612, up 0.08% over the past 24 hours, and overall it’s slightly bullish. ETH is near 2,682, down 0.22% over the past 24 hours, and it’s also slightly weak.
The range BTC moved in overnight was from 82,776 to 84,564, and this level is quite key. If the market opens and volume is strong enough to hold above 84,564, short-term sentiment will improve a lot; conversely, if it gets dumped below 82,776 right at the open, then today is likely to be a sideways trading day.
For ETH, I’m looking more at BTC’s “face.” If BTC can’t find direction, it will be hard for ETH to move independently. Trading volume is 853 million USDT—not very active—suggesting everyone is waiting for signals at the open.
Today, I won’t take action immediately at the open. I’ll watch for the first half hour to confirm the direction first. Make a note, and compare later.
I’ve kept a certain saying in mind for a long time, and today it came back to me again.
In “Liquidity Determines Everything,” there’s a principle: in the crypto market, about 80% of price movements—up or down—are a matter of liquidity. When macro policy loosens and floods with liquidity, even junk coins can soar; when liquidity tightens, even strong fundamentals can’t hold up. Before you look at the charts, check the faucet.
Take today’s $PUMP as an example: right now it’s at 0.005794, with a 24h change of +16.37%. This kind of market action neatly confirms the idea above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself on the chart.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that in the end, what matters in trading is not technique, but mindset.
The high and low points during this period are 0.359500 / 0.258500, with trading volume of 0.31 billion USDT.
0.258500 is the key support to keep an eye on right now. If it breaks, there won’t be any obvious place for buyers to step in. Up at 0.359500 is the resistance for this leg; until it breaks above that level with volume, any rebound can only be treated as a rebound.
During this time window, liquidity is on the thin side, so price can easily be pushed around by small orders—wicks and “painting the board” aren’t uncommon. If you really want to act, place limit orders instead of chasing the market price, and don’t set your stop-loss too tight.
The recent high/low are 2,749 / 2,652, with trading volume of 834 million USDT.
2,652 is the key support to watch right now. If it breaks below, there won’t be an obvious place for bids to come in. On the upside, 2,749 is the resistance for this leg. Unless it builds volume and holds above it, any rebound can only be treated as a bounce.
During this period, liquidity is relatively thin, so price can be pushed around easily by small orders—wick/spike moves and “painting the chart” aren’t surprising. If you really want to take action, don’t chase the market price when placing limit orders, and don’t set your stop-loss too tight.
I just stumbled upon a passage and froze for a moment.
In Ed Skota’s observations, he talks about a lesson: Skota says that everyone in the market gets exactly what they truly want. Those who want excitement get it. Those who want to prove themselves get a lesson instead. Ask yourself what you really want when you enter the trade—the answer might not be money.
Take today’s $HBAR as an example: now it’s at 0.105470, down -16.57% in 24 hours. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the lesson above. It’s not coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself on the chart.
Everyone has heard the truth; the hard part is whether you can actually do it when the moment comes. Wait for the signal, not your mood.
The recent high and low are 84,564 / 82,776, with trading volume of 1.202 billion USDT.
82,776 is the key support to watch right now. If it breaks below, there isn’t a clear place for buyers to step in. Upward at 84,564 is the resistance for this round. Until it breaks above with volume, any rebound should only be treated as a rebound.
During this period, liquidity is relatively thin, so price can be pushed around by small orders. That’s why wicks and “painting the chart” aren’t surprising. If you really plan to act, don’t chase the market price—place your limit orders. Also, don’t set your stop-loss too close.
In Munger’s reverse thinking, he talks about a principle: If you think the other way around, you always end up thinking the other way around. Everyone is discussing how to get rich in the crypto world—you should ask instead: how can you avoid losing everything in crypto? First aim to be unbeatable, then aim to win.
Take today’s $AAVE as an example: it’s currently 170.60, with a 24h +17.17%. This kind of market movement perfectly confirms the idea above. It’s not a coincidence—it's human nature repeating itself in the charts.
The market won’t show mercy just because you understand the principles. Keeping some “bullets” is stronger than anything else.
I just came across a passage and froze for a moment.
Here’s a principle mentioned in the topic of “reviewing and reflecting”: Reviewing isn’t about whether the market moved and you happened to be right—it’s about whether you did the right thing. If your direction was wrong but you followed discipline, that’s a good trade; if your direction was right but you violated the rules, that’s a bad trade.
Let’s use today’s $ETH as an example: now it’s 2,716, 24h +1.64%. This kind of market action perfectly illustrates the idea above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
Looking back, the places where I stumbled are all written in that sentence. Wait for signals, not your mood.
Before bed, I went over today’s market chart. To be honest, today’s move had quite a lot of information.
BTC today was range-bound between 82,776 and 84,564, and finally closed at 84,215, up 0.71% for the day. What’s most worth watching here isn’t the rise or fall itself, but whether the trading volume keeps up. Today’s volume was 1.232 billion USDT; to be honest, that’s not very active, which suggests market sentiment is still fairly cautious.
ETH is a bit stronger—up 1.40% for the day, closing at 2,727, with a trading range from 2,652 to 2,749. Its linkage with Bitcoin is still very clear; if BTC doesn’t move, it’s hard for ETH to trade independently.
The strongest performer today was $AAVE —up 16.08% for the day, with volume of 58 million. This kind of move is either that capital positioned early, or that emotion-driven competition amplified the volatility.
The most important signal today: can BTC expand volume at key levels? That will determine the next direction. Tomorrow, I’ll focus on whether BTC can hold the xxx level.
Up +0.90% all day, closed at 84,330, with a high/low of 84,564 / 82,563. Trading volume was 1.260 billion USDT—this volume today shows quite a bit of sincerity.
The most important thing to remember today is that there’s capital paying attention to BTC. If tomorrow it can hold above 84,330, the market may still have room to continue. But if tomorrow’s open immediately gets smashed downward, then today’s move is likely just a short-term trade.
Someone asked me how I look at the chart, and what came to mind was this saying.
In the section about the relationship between position size and emotions, there’s a simple principle: To judge whether your position is too heavy, here’s an easy test—if when it drops 30% you can’t sleep, then it’s too heavy. Your position size should be determined by your psychological ability to withstand risk, not by how optimistic you are.
Take today’s $ETH as an example: now it’s 2,740, up +2.23% over 24h. This kind of market action perfectly confirms the principle above. It’s not a coincidence—it’s human nature repeating itself in the market.
The more I think about it, the more it feels true that in the end, what matters in trading isn’t technique—it’s character and mindset.
