Order cancellation and exit, all funds returned to USDT. This might be the most difficult trading decision I have ever made.

Many people might think this is giving up, but my logic is actually very simple—let the data speak. When Friday’s exchange data clearly shows institutional outflows and spot demand is significantly weak, continuing to hold on is no longer persistence but a joke with my principal. Those who truly understand trading should know when to take action and when to let go.

This weekend, I adopted a "lazy defense" strategy. Wall Street folks are on holiday, leaving only some robots fighting each other in liquidity-sparse pools. Instead of playing with them, I prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch the show. It may sound a bit "unambitious," but in reality, it’s the greatest respect for capital.

My approach for the next 48 hours is very clear:

First, resist the urge to act impulsively. Weekend volatility is often just noise. Don’t chase the false breakout at 91.5k, and don’t catch the rebound at the awkward level of 90k.

Second, only defend two key levels. I’ve turned off all trading software, leaving only two critical alerts—confirm a genuine pullback when it drops to 89.2k, and confirm a reversal signal when it rises to 92.5k. Unless these two lines are touched, the candlestick movements in between are irrelevant to me.

Trading is essentially a marathon, not a short-term sprint. This week has already been taxing enough; now the most important thing is to preserve the principal and get some rest. When the institutions are back on Monday, we can return to the market in the best condition. Knowing when to be out of the market is also a trading skill.
