Trade small when BTC is high and risky · LangLang Trading Principle
When BTC is at highs, neither strong nor weak, there is pullback risk; but altcoins are strong, so sitting out isn't an option either. The compromise is to look only for positions that haven't started much, use small stops and keep position size light; if you're less confident, sell half first. The worst case is chasing high and then running into a sharp BTC drop.
In LangLang's words
When BTC is high, neither strong nor weak, there is pullback risk
Look for positions that haven't started much to speculate; don't chase blindly at highs
If the position is reasonable, even a sharp BTC drop only costs you a small stop
If you're less optimistic, sell half; if very optimistic, take a shot with it

ETH has good structure but is constrained by BTC risk
LangLang analyzed ETH at 00:11:57, believing it is a sufficient daily-level correction and large-degree consolidation; if it starts, the current position is very good; going long based on its own structure is no problem. But he emphasized that the only thing to consider is whether BTC will turn bad and drag ETH down after entry.

BTC high-level, altcoins recover then exert strength
BIT LangLang mentions that at the time BTC was at a high level, neither strong nor weak, and if it delayed going up, it would easily adjust—this was the only market hidden risk explicitly raised at the time. At the same time, as long as BTC moved sideways and did not crash, altcoins such as BLUR and APE already had funds entering, and market participants were actively trading altcoins. In the previous round, many altcoins were only rebounding and repairing weak structures; by this session, many strong altcoins had completed repair and were consolidating, about to enter a phase of upward exertion, so the expected strength of this altcoin wave was higher than the first wave.
