There were times when every major crypto liquidation meant the same thing for me — total destruction. I used to lose everything. Five thousand. Thirty thousand. Even debt on top of the ashes. Every crash felt like the end of the road, and every comeback felt like starting from zero again. Today was different. It was the biggest liquidation in crypto history — billions erased — and for the first time, I’m still here. Safe. Calm. Ten green days in a row, plus a new high… what was I expecting? I knew I had to take profit — I knew it. I got greedy like a pig. That’s it. Not revenge. Not panic. Not doubling down. Just a clean trade that gave everything back because I didn’t lock the gains. But I’m still here. And that’s new. What changed? I stopped treating Bitcoin like an idol and started treating it like a trade. I stopped chasing redemption and started honoring my rules. I stopped trying to win everything back — and began protecting what I already have. I used to think discipline would kill my edge. Now I know it’s the only thing keeping me alive. So, to the old me — the one who over-leveraged, who believed every bounce was “the one,” who measured self-worth by PnL — thank you for the pain. It built the version of me who can sit through a liquidation and only regret not taking profit, not losing control. This is what growth looks like: Not more wins. Just fewer disasters. “The old me would’ve died in this crash. The new me just took a breath, accepted the loss, and moved on.”

Technical Context: COIN has been consolidating for several weeks and just broke above the range. The 20-MA has turned upward, confirming a renewed bullish bias. Today’s resting bar after the breakout creates an ideal continuation setup for a long entry. Primary Trade Plan (Long): Entry: Buy above the resting bar’s high (confirmation). Stop Loss: Below the breakout candle’s low. Target: New high (NH) above the recent swing. Management: Move SL to breakeven after first push, trail bar-by-bar or by short-term swing lows. Alternative Scenario (Short): If price fails violently and breaks back below the breakout level, I would flip short with a target near the base of the consolidation (support zone). Bias: Bullish while price holds above the breakout zone. Aggressive short only if a strong reversal invalidates the breakout.
