3.1 Market Background

1) On June 5, the U.S. Department of Labor released data showing that for the week ending May 31, initial jobless claims rose to 247,000 — significantly higher than the expected 235,000 and the highest level since October last year. The four-week moving average also climbed to 235,000, indicating a continued weakening of the labor market.

Although the week included the Memorial Day holiday, which may have caused some data distortions, most recent economic indicators show a slowdown in activity. Analysts expect jobless claims to continue rising in the coming weeks.

In the same week, continuing jobless claims slightly dropped to 1.904 million, but remained above 1.9 million for a second consecutive week — a sign that re-employment is becoming more difficult.

Additionally, according to data from layoff tracking firm Challenger, U.S. companies announced 93,800 layoffs in May. This figure was slightly lower than in April but higher than the average for last year. Layoffs were most concentrated in the service and retail sectors. Tariff pressure, budget cuts, and a pessimistic economic outlook are pushing companies to control costs and reduce hiring.

Major corporations like Microsoft, Disney, and Booz Allen have all announced layoffs recently. Regionally, Kentucky and Minnesota saw the largest increases in jobless claims, while Michigan and Florida posted the biggest declines.

2) On June 5 (Wednesday local time), Tesla CEO Elon Musk publicly opposed the Trump administration’s proposed “tax cut bill” for the second day in a row on social media, claiming it would “bankrupt” the U.S. government. He posted a still from the movie Kill Bill, calling on the public to phone Congress to vote down the bill and suggesting a revised spending plan to avoid a massive surge in deficits and a $5 trillion hike in the debt ceiling.

Sources say Musk’s opposition stems in part from the bill’s cuts to electric vehicle tax credits, which would negatively impact Tesla. He has also clashed with the administration over personnel appointments and the promotion of Starlink. Musk recently resigned from his advisory role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Trump has not responded directly but reposted an old tweet from Musk on his social platform as an indirect response and reaffirmed his support for eliminating the debt ceiling. House Speaker Johnson criticized Musk’s views as “completely wrong,” emphasizing that tax cuts could be offset by economic growth.

Meanwhile, new estimates from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) indicate the bill could increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, sparking concern among fiscal hawks in the Republican Party. Despite the controversy, Congress plans to move forward with the legislation before July 4.

3) On June 6, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payrolls increased by 139,000 in May — higher than the expected 126,000 but the lowest since February. Even more concerning, March and April figures were revised downward by a combined 95,000, masking a deeper slowdown in employment growth.

The unemployment rate held at 4.2%, but the labor force shrank by 600,000 and the labor force participation rate fell to 62.4%, a three-month low. Household surveys showed employment plunging by nearly 700,000, sharply contrasting with the business survey results — highlighting structural discrepancies between different data sources.

Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% month-over-month and 3.9% year-over-year — well above expectations — indicating tighter supply rather than surging demand. Full-time job vacancies fell by 623,000, while part-time roles rose by just 33,000, showing companies are leaning toward reducing hours rather than expanding headcount.

Manufacturing unemployment fell by 8,000 — the largest monthly drop this year — while the federal government cut 22,000 jobs, the biggest reduction since 2020. Tariffs and budget cuts are increasing employment pressure in government departments and associated contractors. By contrast, jobs in healthcare, leisure & hospitality, and social assistance continued to grow.

The data showed the unemployment rate rose to 4.244% in May, the highest since October 2021. Analysts believe the Federal Reserve will maintain a cautious wait-and-see approach in the face of inflation and trade policy uncertainties — at least until fall.

3.2 Trade Analysis

From June 5 to 6, under the influence of multiple factors, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) rapidly dropped from around $106,000 to a low of approximately $100,300, approaching the key psychological threshold of $100,000. According to the on-chain liquidation map, this level holds a large concentration of long liquidity and is considered a major support zone by the market.

The $100,000 level is not only a significant psychological barrier due to its round number, but also a region where many long positions were previously established. From a technical perspective, as BTC’s price declined, it simultaneously touched the support level of the 2-hour Vegas channel, reinforcing the technical significance of this position.

As the price reached this critical support zone, some passive liquidations were completed, and capital began re-entering the market, helping to stabilize sentiment in the short term. Meanwhile, major altcoins also stabilized, overall market volatility narrowed, and a preliminary support structure has formed in the short term. See chart below for trading context:

Observed from the 15-minute timeframe, after stabilizing near the $100,000 level, BTC began a relatively steady rebound. From a trade execution perspective, there are currently several short-term resistance levels above, located around $104,000 and $106,700.

In the short term, as the price first approached the $104,000 resistance zone, a pullback occurred as expected. At that point, part of the position was closed to lock in profits. Subsequently, BTC was again rejected just below $106,700, prompting another round of profit-taking to manage drawdown risks, while keeping a portion of the position open to potentially capitalize on a breakout. Once BTC successfully broke above the structural high of $106,700, it opened further upside potential and laid the groundwork for a continued rebound. As the price gradually approached previous highs, positions were partially reduced again in light of risk control and phased profit-taking strategies, while maintaining flexibility to respond to future market movements. The overall strategy was based on partial take-profits and dynamic short-term position adjustments.

3.3 Winning Strategies Summary

Mastering Risk-Reward Ratio and Trading Rhythm: How to Effectively Manage Take-Profit Strategies in the Crypto Market

In the crypto market — a high-volatility, high-risk, and high-reward trading environment — many traders emphasize entry logic but often overlook one of the most critical aspects: take-profit management. Poorly executed take-profit decisions can render an otherwise accurate trade ineffective, or even turn profits into losses due to greed.

This article explores the core logic behind take-profit mechanisms, practical strategies, and how to integrate structure, rhythm, and capital management to elevate overall trading quality.

1) Why is take-profit more important than entry? In a trending market, your entry determines the maximum potential risk-reward ratio, but your take-profit point determines how much of that potential is actually realized. Take-profit is the key to maximizing gains while minimizing risks in trading.

Common Issues in Take-Profit Execution: ·

Exiting too early: Leaving the trade just as the move begins, missing the main trend · Exiting too late: Holding without discipline, leading to profit erosion or even losses · No take-profit plan: Emotional trading disrupts consistency and system reliability

Take-profit is not just about locking in gains — it’s about maintaining the consistency and repeatability of a trading system through structured planning.

2) Three Main Take-Profit Models

A. Structural Take-Profit

Based on market structure — setting take-profit levels at previous highs/lows, trendlines, range tops, or key technical levels. · Best for: Range-bound markets or early trend phases · Pros: Visually intuitive and applicable to most strategies · Cons: May miss extended trend moves

B. Ratio-Based Take-Profit (Risk-Reward Model)

Take-profit set at a fixed risk-reward ratio from the entry point, such as 1:2 or 1:3. · Best for: Rule-based trading systems · Pros: Reinforces disciplined capital management and allows for easy backtesting · Cons: Ignores market structure or rhythm, prone to being stopped out by volatility

C. Dynamic Take-Profit (Trailing/Scaled Exit)

Trailing the stop or scaling out as the market moves in your favor. · Best for: Strong trends or swing trades · Pros: Balances trend continuation with profit-taking · Cons: Harder to execute, requires a solid strategy and trading experience

3) Building a Practical Framework for Take-Profit Strategies

4) Key to Executing Take-Profit: Rhythm and “Pre-Planning”

Effective take-profit is not a reactive decision but a pre-planned action made before entering a trade:

• Predefined take-profit zones: Set target levels and partial exit plans at the time of entry
• Rhythmic execution: Avoid exiting too early due to short-term volatility, and don’t miss the chance to cash out due to greed
• Align with trading timeframe:
• Use 15-minute charts for structural take-profit
• Use 4-hour charts for trend-continuation take-profit

Example:

If BTC rises from 95,000 to 100,000 and the Fibonacci extension suggests a target at 104,000, a trader may reduce position at 100,000, then raise the trailing take-profit dynamically to 103,800 after a breakout above 102,000. This avoids giving back all gains during a structural pullback.

5) Common Mistakes That Lead to Failed Take-Profits

• No take-profit, relying solely on subjective judgment → emotional trading, often chasing highs or panic selling
• Too rigid take-profit rules → fixed numbers that don’t adapt to structural shifts
• Only setting stop-loss without a take-profit → poor risk-reward ratio, unsustainable system
• Neglecting trading rhythm: frequent profit-taking during news-driven volatility may lead to missing the main rally phase
• Suggested Approach: Incorporate take-profit into the trading plan using a three-dimensional model: structure + ratio + rhythm

6) Conclusion: Take-Profit Is the “Realization Mechanism” of a Trading System

In the highly volatile crypto market, take-profit isn’t about how much you make — it’s about whether you’ve realized your correct decisions. Truly effective take-profit forms a closed loop of planning + execution + review, continuously enhancing the system’s consistency and profitability.

Learning to set goals with rhythm, execute plans based on structure, and realize profits through probability is an essential step for any mature trader.

Hold through the chop, realize in the breakout — that’s the true take-profit path in crypto trading.
