The CPI data will be released tonight at 9:30, and currently BTC is oscillating within the range. Every move in the market is crucial, especially during this data-driven moment.

The long position in BTC I hold is established at 89,500, with an unrealized profit of 3,000 points. On the ETH side, I also have a long position at 3,056, with an unrealized profit of 80 points. It may not sound like a lot, but the logic behind it is what truly matters.

Many traders start betting on rise or fall just before the market explodes, which is essentially no different from gambling. True traders are never armchair strategists after the fact; they think through all possibilities in advance. You don't need to predict the exact direction 100%, but you must have a plan for every possible outcome.

The entry prices of these two long positions are right on the tip of the lowest support level — this is not a coincidence but the result of prior planning. Now, for all floating profits, stop-losses can be set directly at the cost basis. If the CPI data is released and the market drops, breaking through support, you can immediately close the longs and open shorts, still making a profit. Conversely, if the data is favorable and the market rises, these two longs will simply benefit.

The brilliance of trading lies here — always see one step ahead of others, and you can fish steadily.
