Markets are born in despair (Tuesday this week).

They grow in doubt and end in euphoria.

Do not try to predict when or how the market will break out of the recent range.

 

Our futures club always follows these rules:

Trade with a plan. Do not predict. Be patient. Follow the trading plan.

BTC stabilized near the first support zone around 87,000, as repeatedly noted.

BTC rebounded to 97,000, then met resistance.

Long positions should take profits and protect gains.

 

Yesterday, BTC again held near 87,000.

Still, manage profits and reduce risk.

Trading BTC requires belief and discipline.

Keep position size small.

This helps you survive large volatility.
