BTC is moving between 70k and 73k. When it hits 73k, everyone starts buying. I don't. I wait for 70,500 - 70,800. Yes, waiting is hard. Feels like I'll miss the chance. But the chance always comes back. Always. Now I've learned to wait. I don't chase. What about you? Do you chase or do you wait? #BTC #TradingTips #WaitForIt
