Free-riding Dog Market! ETH 2035 long position moving stop-loss to 2028, profit running is just this arrogant

In the afternoon, I met with an old friend who does private equity for tea.

He hit a big mine last year, a heavily weighted stock with financial fraud, and only escaped after three limit-downs.

I asked, how did you hold on back then?

He smiled and said, what holding? I sold on the first limit-down.

I asked, isn’t that a pity?

He sipped his tea and said, in trading, the most feared words are “pity.”

“Pity I sold too early,” “pity I didn’t fully load,” “pity I didn’t hold on.”

Once you have pity in your heart, you’ll do stupid things.

He paused, then continued, do you know what my fund’s total return was last year?

I shook my head.

18%.

He said, it all depends on two words—admitting mistakes.

After I sold that stock with financial fraud, I split the funds into three parts, lurking in the leading stocks across three different sectors. Two didn’t rise, one doubled. That doubled stock brought my entire year’s profit back.

I asked, how do you know which will double?

He said, I don’t know for sure. But I’m certain of one thing— as long as I don’t die, there’s always a chance.

Cutting losses isn’t giving up; it’s to stay alive and keep playing.

This applies perfectly to the current ETH market.

Our long positions near 2035 have already been reduced, with a trailing stop-loss moved to 2028.

What’s this move?

It’s taking out the principal and using profits to play with the market makers.

Think about it—what’s the difference from doing business?

Open a shop, break even in three months, and the rest is pure profit. Would you still worry about closing down every day?

No.

You’d just think, I can’t lose my principal anyway, so let the profits run.

Currently, the price is hovering around 2070.

For those who haven’t reduced their positions, they can cut another 30% here.

The only goal—eliminate all risk, and let the remaining positions run purely for profit.

Free-riding the market makers is the most comfortable posture in this market.

The upper target is 2120 for our current long positions.

When reached, just leave—no attachment.

But market makers won’t let you sell comfortably at the top.

They will set a trap at high levels, waiting for you to think “it can still go up,” then reverse and hang you at the peak.

So, after closing the longs, the shorts need to be prepared in advance.

The 2135-2155 range is a dense zone where many were caught chasing high earlier, and it’s also a high-probability trap set by the market makers to lure more traders.

They push a little, trick retail investors in, then slam the door and hit the market.

What we need to do is wait at the door, and follow the market makers to hit the market.

Stop-loss for shorts at 2184; if broken, it means the market makers are really pulling with real money, then admit mistakes and exit.

Take partial profits at 2100, 2080, 2040.

Step by step, eat downwards, don’t be greedy.

In this market, those who last long are never the best at making money, but those who can control their hands.

The long positions are now safe; what’s left is patience.

Wait for the wind, wait for the market makers to perform.

After they finish, we collect and walk away.
