Today's overall rhythm in the crypto market reminds me of cooking at noon: the timing is just right, neither burnt nor flipped the pot. BTC can't go bearish nor surge; ETH miners are warming up, but the extent is not exaggerated; there are a few familiar faces among altcoins rising with the heat. This 'boiling frog in warm water' rhythm tests endurance and judgment the most.
The atmosphere isn't anxious, but the lines are clear.
Most people like to see blood in the market, but those who can truly survive know how to maintain structure.
BTC is repeatedly gaining strength in a key range, with long and short sentiments continuing to watch and wait.
ETH on-chain activity has slightly rebounded, showing resilience; the trend is still in a 'jogging preparation period'.
Hot altcoins still mostly have good structures: AI and infrastructure have liquidity and logic.
No extremes, just a healthy pace. Sometimes, it's easiest to take profits when things seem 'stagnant'.
Three main lines and three 'avoidance lines'
I only focus on the eight key points:
Net inflow of stablecoins: this wave hasn't exited, and activity is still there. Be cautious if there’s a reversal.
Funding rates and OI (open interest): if the rate rises but the price is sideways, I will act less.
Market depth and spreads: two levels shaking through exposure is a pitfall; thin depth can kill.
Look for support on explosive pullbacks: there are many ignition points, but it is safe only if they hold steady.
Hot structure vs. emotional liquidity: structural stocks will speak with liquidity, while emotional stocks will scatter when pulled.
DAO and protocol reading patience: don't listen to the hype, reading white papers and Twitter @ teams is the most stable way to judge fundamentals.
Planning is more powerful than hope: even if you lose, exit according to the script; if you win, cash out in batches.
At your own pace, steadier than the market's pace: don't be anxious, the key is to turn today's gains into tomorrow's chips.
My real trading rhythm (today's action plan)
Morning: scan the order book. BTC has support, ETH has volume; I'll record first and not act rashly.
Noon: pull an 'observation list': test small positions on stocks that break key areas + those driven by spot.
Evening: keep an eye on fund inflows and rate trends. If stable, continue to grind; if the highs are unstable, reduce positions.
Night session: summarize the day's structure; if the next day is no worse than today, it counts as a successful early layout.
The last human words
Today, the overall crypto market feels like 'still as a virgin'. The lessons this market teaches are harder to grasp than 'violent ups and downs'. Don't chase the rise or rapid rebounds; stabilize your position and wait for confirmations before acting; that is the rhythm of not falling behind.
