[Trade Journal] Bitcoin 67K V-Shaped Recovery: Resisting FOMO and Setting a Trap

 Hello. I am Couch Cappy , striving to survive by sticking to my principles in the rough waves of the market. Today, Bitcoin plummeted to test the basement near 64.9K, and then showed massive volatility by bouncing back vertically (V-shape) above 67K with strong buying pressure. Someone might have chased the pump with euphoria looking at the massive green candle, but I chose a strategy of strictly observing today and setting a 'trap' at my desired levels. [ Controlling FOMO: Why I Gave Up Market Buying at 67K ] The most dangerous thing when a chart violently rebounds is the 'Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)'. I also had the urge to execute a Long position at market price, but I coldly controlled it. The reason is simple. The macroeconomic trend on the daily timeframe is still in a corrective wave, and a complete reversal to an uptrend has not been confirmed. Above all, if I enter at market price near 67K, the clear defense line (stop loss at 64.8K) becomes too deep, severely ...

[Trade Journal] Bitcoin Flash Crash?! Surviving the Whipsaw & 2nd Net Filled 🛡️

 Hello! It's Couch Cappy, slowly rolling the compound interest while chilling on the sofa. ☕


When Bitcoin broke 75K yesterday and everyone was cheering, we suddenly saw a terrifying flash crash down to the early 73K level. It was a classic 'stop hunt' by the whales. While it was definitely a heart-dropping moment, I trusted my pre-planned scenario and calmly watched the chart.

Fortunately, my 2nd net (limit order) placed deep at 73,200 exactly caught the bottom wick and was filled!


[ Trade Journal: Mar 18, 2026 - BTC Futures ]

[Current Status: 1st & 2nd Long Entries Filled] Scenario B has perfectly activated. In this crazy whipsaw market, my 2nd entry was triggered, giving me a very favorable average price.


- Position: Long (3x Leverage) 

- Size: 30% of total capital fully loaded 

- Average Entry: 73,500 (1st at 73.8K + 2nd at 73.2K combined) 

- Hard Stop (SL): 72,070 (Unchanged)


[Next Step: Scale-out (Partial TP) Setup Complete] 

With both entries filled, my average price is now down to 73,500. This gives me a great safety margin from my stop-loss. Since my position size has doubled, I need to adjust my take-profit strategy.


 When the price tries to break the previous high of 76K again, there will likely be strong resistance. So, instead of being greedy, I set a 'Reduce-Only' order to sell exactly half (50%) of my position at 75,800.

[Today's Lesson] 

 Staring at the monitor during a volatile whipsaw market will only drain your mental energy. If you lay down a carefully calculated net (split entries), the market's fear can actually become the best opportunity to lower your average entry.

I've left the scale-out to the system, so I'm going back to my couch for a good sleep! 🦥💤

If you're wondering why I chose to take profit on only 'half' of my position at 75.8K instead of all of it, I've written down my humble thoughts on 'Split Entries and Scale-out Setup' in a separate post below. I hope it helps you a bit!
