Good afternoon everyone, let me get straight to the point: The crypto market is still playable, but the era of wild, unchecked growth is over. The days when you could blindly go all-in and make money are gone.

Are there still opportunities in the market? Yes, but the bar has definitely been raised. For retail investors who want to survive, there are basically two approaches:

First: Trend swing trading. Accumulate BTC in batches during big dips, for example, start building positions around the 80,000 level, then sell in batches as it rises to around 120,000, and wait for a pullback to slowly buy back in. This isn't gambling—it's following the big trend.

Second: Information arbitrage. Keep a close eye on the latest news, get in and out quickly when you spot an opportunity, and exit as soon as there's a gain—never get greedy. This approach requires extremely strong discipline and mindset. To be honest, you might need AI assistance to make it work in the future.

What's next for the market?

I mentioned last week that there would be a rebound to challenge 90,000 this week, and now it looks like the tug of war between bulls and bears is still ongoing. A full-on bull market can't start just yet.

Global capital is waiting for the Nonfarm Payrolls data on December 16. The market now expects about an 80% chance of a rate cut in December. If the Nonfarm data falls short of expectations, there's a high probability of another dip; if it beats expectations, a direct rally to around 110,000 isn't out of the question. Don't get excited too early—the key is to watch for the actual data release.

What should you do now?

As long as BTC is below 90,000, it's a suitable range for dollar-cost averaging in batches. But make sure to keep some ammo in reserve in case it retests 80,000—don't go all-in at once. As long as you keep your capital intact, you'll have another chance in the next round. The market will never lack volatility; what's lacking are those who survive until the end.
