Friends, let me tell you a secret: If you are skilled in short-term trading, you won't worry about long-term swing trading!
Don't think that short-term trading is just random messing around; the real experts are all trained through short-term trading!
Why? Because short-term trading allows you to quickly understand the market, hone your trading sense, and master trading skills!
Short-term, swing trading, long-term; there are actually three differences:
1. Duration: Short-term is a few days, swing trading is a few weeks, long-term is a few months or even years.
2. Size of fluctuations: Short-term trading captures small fluctuations, swing trading captures medium fluctuations, and long-term trading captures large trends.
3. Monitoring time: Short-term trading requires monitoring the market, while swing trading and long-term investing don't need constant observation; just set your stop-loss.
But the core is the same: entry points!
Choosing good entry points allows for smaller stop-losses, thus lowering risk!
So, when doing swing trading and long-term investing, remember these three points:
1. Determine the direction: Be sure to see the big direction clearly; don't go against the trend!
2. Find small pullback entry points: Wait for the pullback to be in place before entering, reducing risk!
3. Set reasonable stop-losses: Protect your principal and prevent being trapped!
In short, short-term trading is the basic skill, swing trading and long-term investing are advanced practices. First master short-term trading, then play swing trading and long-term investing to ensure profit without loss!
🔥 Current Market Guide (2025 Layback Version)
$BTC : Bitcoin fell during the day yesterday, and after the US stock market opened in the evening, it continued to drop, dragging down Ethereum and other altcoins, still consolidating in the 117k-120k range, with another peak expected around 130k later.
$BNB : It's very obvious that it's stronger than Bitcoin, but if you think it can separate from Bitcoin, you are completely wrong; last night's pullback is a great textbook case.
$ETH : It has risen too much, already touching above 3600, needs to pull back and consolidate; altcoins also need to recover; the altcoin season is about to start, so hold on tight.
Some important news from yesterday:
1. SharpLink Gaming announces a $5 billion stock issuance and advances its Ethereum reserve strategy.
2. In the 'Satoshi Nakamoto era', Bitcoin whale deposits the last 40,192 Bitcoin into Galaxy Digital, worth about $4.83 billion.
3. Ethereum's market value surpasses Costco, ranking 29th globally in asset market value.
Turning back to today's daily BTC technical analysis, from the K-line perspective, the 1-hour level will rise, the 4-hour level will fall, the 12-hour level will fall, and the daily level will fall, with intraday resistance at 121,000 and support at 115,000 USD.
