Recently, I've been watching the trends of a few altcoins and discovered an interesting phenomenon—shorting is actually more reliable than going long.

Take RVV for example. Yesterday, I entered a short position at 0.009028 and exited smoothly at 0.005424, netting a profit of 38,000 USDT. Behind this seemingly simple operation, it actually reflects a common problem in the current altcoin market.

The market rhythm is very clear: during rallies, there is a lack of effective support, and once the chips loosen, the sell-off is very fierce. These kinds of coins tend to rise in a hollow manner, and the height of the rebound often becomes an opportunity for the next round of escape. When the crash finally arrives, that is their ultimate fate.

Many people still dream of bottoming out to find 100x coins, but the reality is—many altcoin projects have already determined their ending from the moment they were born. Instead of waiting passively for a rebound, it’s better to grasp the rhythm of the decline, as the returns are often faster and more stable.

The key is to clearly see the strength and rhythm of the trend, and to identify clear break signals. This is much safer than blindly chasing the rise.

Short positions are really profitable, that's how altcoins should be played The thrill of shorting is just awesome, chasing the pump is just a tax on IQ Breakdowns mean sell, I’ve got this rhythm figured out When the chips loosen, sell aggressively, this is the fate of altcoins Bottom-fishing for hundredfold coins? Wake up, everyone, waiting passively for a rebound is better than watching it drop RVV played really aggressively this time, I’ve learned a lot A rebound becomes an escape ladder, I’ve taken that to heart Understanding the strength and rhythm is a hundred times safer than blindly chasing the pump Exactly right, altcoins rise falsely and their drops are the real show When chips loosen, sell immediately, no wonder shorting is so profitable This is the true trading logic, relying on reading the market rather than luck Shorting altcoins is way more comfortable than going long

Short positions are indeed attractive, but few people can really hold on to the end. --- Altcoins are just like this—when they go up, they seem fake; when they fall, they hit hard. --- A wave of 38,000 USDT, this pace is indeed good. --- The most critical thing is the breakdown signal; the strategy of bottom fishing should have been abandoned long ago. --- Is shorting more stable than going long? I anyway lose money quite steadily. --- It looks simple, but when it comes to actual execution, it's still easy to cut losses. --- You really need to put in effort to study the market rhythm. --- Knowing the ending of altcoins right from their birth? That's premature. --- When the chips loosen, they get hammered down. This move was quite standard. --- Wait, does this logic imply that most altcoins are basically destined to go to zero?

Shorting altcoins is indeed more reliable than chasing the rally; those rebounds are just traps to trap people. Another story of huge profits from a short position, I’m tempted but this wave has already passed. The most critical signal is the breakdown; if you can’t catch up, don’t chase. Losses are the real deal. RVV has indeed fallen sharply this time; I should have been bearish long ago, anyway, altcoins have no bottom line. To be honest, shorting can be quick profit, but it always feels risky. It’s better to be cautious. I’m the one who got caught chasing the rally, I wish I had learned to short earlier. The problem is, how to judge the breakdown? Feels like I always get the direction wrong. When the chips loosen, they get hammered—this is the fate of altcoins, it’s unchangeable. The dream of 100x coins is shattered; now I just think about how to cut losses without losing money. The market rhythm looks simple, but in actual trading, it’s easy to be deceived. Altcoins are too deep.

Shorting altcoins is indeed profitable, but this order at 38,000 might be a bit over the top. Short positions are easy to open, but don't be greedy. A simple pullback can reverse the position. Make sure to clearly identify the breakdown signals, or you'll be the one cutting losses. Altcoins are basically farmland; chasing the rally is truly a way to invite death. Sell on the rebound, don't think about bottom-fishing. Too many people haven't survived the next round.

Here comes the story of cutting leeks again, I'm tired of hearing this explanation Bro, you really made money this time, but then you teach people to short? Isn't that just survivor bias? Behind making money from shorting altcoins, how many people got liquidated? Those details are selectively forgotten By the way, I haven't been paying attention to RVV, and the breakdown signals definitely require caution Talking about it here as if it's some kind of mysticism, the rhythm and intensity... honestly, it's just gambling with luck The 38,000 USDT is real, but haven't you also never mentioned the losing trades? Haha To short after a breakdown, you need to have sharp eyes, I’m just a rookie, so forget it Altcoins are basically a dead end, no matter how you operate, you're playing with fire Good topic, but don’t hype it too much, be careful you don’t get caught off guard and cut yourself too
