If you are still trying to short every local breakdown, stop now.
Watching the market grind down while waiting for lower entries only to get caught on the wrong side of a sudden reversal is painful. Most traders end up completely paralyzed by fear right before the real move happens.
The market just ran the classic liquidity playbook on $BTC . When price repeatedly punishes long positions, it creates a dangerous sense of comfort for late shorts. It conditions participants to expect deeper discounts, making it psychologically difficult to step in and buy.
Some argue that continuing downside momentum on assets like $ETH makes shorting the safer play here. But when the entire room leans heavily to one side, price almost always explodes in the opposite direction to punish consensus. The broader trend remains your best guide, so fighting it during exhaustive sweeps rarely ends well.
Are you still waiting for lower price targets, or do you think the local bottom is already locked in?
