Market is at a critical juncture. Bitcoin is repeatedly testing the $90,200 level. Today, I will share a light position trading strategy suitable for conservative traders.



**Fundamental Assumptions**

These days, the main focus is on sideways movements. Without clear volume signals, avoid blindly chasing orders. Position control is key; keep total holdings below 30%, so you can withstand black swan events.

**Where Are the Bullish Opportunities?**

If Bitcoin stabilizes in the $90,000-$90,500 range, especially with bullish signals on the 15-minute chart (such as bullish engulfing or hammer patterns), consider building a position.

Keep positions light, around 10%-15%:
- Set stop-loss at $88,900; if broken, exit decisively—don’t hold onto false hopes
- Take profit on the first target at $91,500, locking in 50% of the position—this is a short-term strong resistance level
- If it continues to rise to $92,000, hold the remaining position or take partial profits
- Ideally, aim for $93,000, but this requires volume support and net capital inflow; greed can lead to failure

**Bearish Strategies Should Also Be Prepared**

Conversely, if the price encounters resistance at $91,200-$91,500 and shows bearish signals on the 15-minute chart (such as bearish engulfing or shooting star), consider a light short position.

Similarly, allocate 10%-15%:
- Place stop-loss above $92,000; if broken, accept defeat
- The first target is $90,000, an important psychological level—close half of the position
- Watch for support at $89,500
- In extreme cases, a breakdown to $88,000 is possible, but only if no positive signals support the move. Take profits early and avoid greed.

**What About Range-Bound Trading?**

Sometimes, the market gets stuck between $90,000 and $91,200, moving back and forth without clear bullish or bearish signals. In such cases, the best approach is to watch and do nothing.

Many traders like to buy low and sell high frequently in sideways markets, but often get stopped out repeatedly and end up losing money. Better to wait patiently than to trade recklessly.

**Risk Management Bottom Line**

1. Limit daily losses to no more than 2% of total capital. Stop trading when reached.
2. If the Federal Reserve makes sudden statements or ETF funds show large inflows/outflows, wait and observe for half an hour to see how things settle.
3. If the price breaks below $88,900 or above $92,000, do not add to positions against the trend. Wait for a second confirmation before acting.

The market is always there. Missing an opportunity once is okay; staying alive is the prerequisite for making money. Wishing everyone steady profits.

It's all about small positions and stop-losses; just hearing about it is enough. When it really comes to crashing the market, who can resist adding to their positions?

The volatility is frustrating. This guy is right—better to wait than to make reckless moves.

It's the same old operational logic again. It's correct to say not to move during fluctuations, but there are very few people who can truly resist not acting.

The 90,000 level is really too frustrating; I still choose to lie flat and observe

The volatility is exhausting, which is why I hate the 90K level the most.
