BTC shows signs of rebound starting in the afternoon. Around Christmas, the US market enters a holiday window, and institutional investors exit the market. During this period, retail investor sentiment and technical factors often dominate the trend, potentially triggering market correction.
On the strategic level, it is recommended to consider short positions above $90,000, with Ethereum following the same logic. Due to relatively high market volatility, a 10x leverage can be used to increase the tolerance for errors—so even if sudden reverse fluctuations occur, there is enough buffer.
For position management, control the initial position size at 10%, making it easier to gradually add positions later to lower the average cost. The previous trading logic is invalidated; this round is restarted based on new technical signals. Remember, leverage is a double-edged sword; setting proper stop-losses is more important than pursuing maximum gains.

10x leverage margin of error... This sounds just like gambling.

Institutional exit is our opportunity, retail investors' time has come haha
Talking about 10x leverage easily, but it hurts just the same when you get liquidated
Short above $90,000? I think this rebound might be trying to trap the breakout
Stop-loss is more important than profit; saying this over and over is not excessive
Christmas window period, waiting to see who gets harvested

Christmas holiday market closure, retail investors picking up the slack. Is there really a chance this time... I’m not too convinced.

Institutions exit, retail investors take over. This trick is so old now. I think I'll pass on the 10x leverage.

When institutions exit the market, it's the perfect time to step in, but I'm still hesitant about the 10x leverage.

Institutions run away, retail investors get stuck holding the bag. How many times has this trick been played... 10x leverage really sounds easy, but it can lead to quick losses.
