Hello traders!

After the US core CPI data was released below expectations, market volatility increased. In this market movement, we opened a short position near 94,900 on Bitcoin as the first entry, and positioned around 3,325 on Ethereum, experiencing several rounds of range-bound oscillations in between. When the market broke expectations, we promptly adjusted our strategy by adding long positions to hedge risks.

Currently, the Bitcoin short positions have been added twice, with the average price pushed up to around 96,150. Ethereum has been topped up once, with an average price of 3,345. These short positions are still in profit at the moment.

What is the core idea behind this operation? In a market where economic data often causes repeated fluctuations when it falls short of expectations, blindly betting on one direction can easily lead to being wrong. Therefore, deploying positions in batches and flexibly adding to them to diversify risk and lock in profits is more prudent than stubbornly holding a single position.

Bitcoin and Ethereum, as market barometers, tend to be the most volatile during macroeconomic data disturbances. Experienced traders leverage this volatility to create multi-angle strategy combinations, rather than simply betting on rise or fall. Wishing everyone smooth trading!

ETH-1,78%

BTC-1,3%

Haha, I've been slapped in the face too many times, now I only believe in the batch approach. --- Average price pushed up to 96,150? Why do I feel like I'm losing more the more I top up? --- It's called flexible position adding in a nice way, but actually it's just self-rescue after being slapped in the face. --- I can do this kind of operation too, just because of poor execution, always holding on to losses until the end. --- Multi-angle strategy combinations sound advanced, but isn't it just betting on market fluctuations? --- All short positions are losing? That's suspicious, I must have closed them too early out of carelessness. --- When macro data is disturbed, my wallet is also disturbed. Is that considered experience? --- The essence of batch positioning is to split one big loss into several small losses, right?

lmao averaging up to 96150 on shorts... the gwei spent on those rebalance txs probably ate half your gains, not gonna lie. respect the hedging strat tho, beats my usual "panic close at 3am" move

Hey, it's another routine rebalancing. It just annoys me to watch. --- I've been burned by short positions too many times. Can I make money this time? --- Diversifying risk sounds good, but I don't have enough coins on hand. --- Average price of 96150. How many rebuys does it take to push it up... --- Playing with data disturbances like this—what if there's a direct crash? --- "Experienced traders"... I'm the one without that experience. --- Bitcoin's market direction? It all depends on the Federal Reserve's mood right now. --- I think you're just a hindsight strategist, right? --- Making money on both long and short? That story is really well told. --- Planned Ethereum at 3345, my orders are already gone. --- Relying on flexible rebuys to lock in profits sounds easy to say. --- How come the truly profitable traders never post any content?

Ha, it's the same theory again. Staggered positioning sounds good, but who wouldn't say that? --- Short positions average cost pushed up twice, this move is really a bit刺激, if you bet wrong, you'll lose everything. --- Really? As soon as macro data comes out, it plunges. I got washed out directly. I envy your stability. --- Multi-angle strategy combination sounds good, but it really depends on the mindset during execution. A wave of losses can throw everything into chaos. --- The average price is indeed 96150. If there's a rebound of a few thousand dollars, will the short positions explode or not? --- After experiencing a face slap once, I understand that betting on a direction is truly a suicidal play. There's no mistake in this understanding. --- Ethereum's average price is 3345. It still doesn't feel in place. Let's wait and see if it continues to jump.

The average price at 96150... Bro, your technique is really steady, much better than my reckless guesses. Can the short positions hold up? I'm just puzzled, with CPI so volatile, how do you dare to add to your positions? I've heard the theory of diversifying risk a hundred times, but it's easy to mess up when actually executing. Can Ethereum hold at 3345? It feels like it's about to break at any moment. Just go long or short, anyway, as long as you make money, haha. This kind of volatile market is so tricky to handle that I’m completely confused. Macroeconomic data disturbances... Basically, it’s about betting on market sentiment, right? Added to positions twice and still in profit, lucky me. Purely betting on rise or fall is indeed easy to get hit, no doubt about that. Hedging strategy is good, but the operation frequency is a bit high, probably eating up a lot of fees.
