If you’re still shorting a runaway $BTC trend just because it “looks overextended,” stop now.
Traders are getting crushed trying to call the top too early. One live futures position showed a liquidation loss of -3,477,611.76 USDT, while Bitcoin was up 3.01% and posting a 23.6% weekly gain.
The bearish argument is obvious: after a move that violent, late longs can get trapped, funding can punish chasers, and a sharp flush is always on the table. Nobody wants to be the buyer right before the candle reverses.
But my take? Fighting momentum here is the more expensive mistake. When $BTC is trending this hard, the market doesn’t care that it “should” cool off. Better to manage entries, size down, and watch confirmation than keep donating margin to a thesis. Even $ETH and $BNB traders should be paying attention, because Bitcoin strength is setting the tone.
Are you buying the breakout, waiting for a pullback, or still looking for the short?
