After looking at recent data and research, I think Bitcoin might hit new highs soon, and what we see now could be the start of a big rise.
The Nasdaq reached a new high yesterday, and the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$, $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ , and even gold prices could go up because of economic changes.
So, we shouldn’t just watch Bitcoin and other major CCs with doubt.
Let's not forget we have rate cuts in front of us and every data even Cp...

一只长期上涨的蓝筹，怎么会跌成这样？大家都在问“怎么会”，我只思考：
Isn’t this panic an opportunity? How to make money from this wave of decline?
I don't chase rebounds, nor do I bet on big bullish candles, I only do one thing:
When others are emotionally collapsing, Sell the panic they hold.
UNH has recently been on a downward trend., why do I still dare to Sell PUTs? (4 reasons, the first is the key~)
1. [Key Point] The premium for the Put is outrageously high; what I am selling is "emotion rather than price".
When the market is calm, UNH at 263, the 230 Put should be around ~$0.70.
But because volatility skyrocketed, I sold it.$5.30！
→92% of it is market panic premium.
What I do is not betting on direction, but rather:
Using Sell Put to take advantage of volatility + the money from time value contraction.
2. The annual line first tests EMA20, with clear technical support.
UNH is a typical large-cap stock.
The annual EMA20 line has been touched for the first time, technically a strong support.It is a buying point for many long-term funds.
