People who short while staring at the gainers leaderboard—there are weeds two meters high on their graves.
This might sound harsh, but many people end up getting stuck right here.
Going long only risks your principal. But when you short and prices surge violently, your downside has no upper limit.
Especially the coins on the gainers leaderboard—they’re already the hottest place for sentiment and the most疯狂 (most frantic) for capital.
Retail chases, capital pushes; once FOMO kicks in, technical levels become the easiest things to break through instead.
What’s even more troublesome is that once small-cap coins catch capital’s attention, the ramp-up is often extremely brutal. You just stopped out, and it keeps rising; you think you’ve seen the top, and a brief pullback only sets up a fresh new high.
And there’s the funding rate— the longer you hold a short position, the higher your cost.
So I keep saying:
Stay away from the gainers leaderboard—not because you’re scared, but because you want to live trading longer.
Coins like <c-1/> $EVAA or <c-1/> $LAB that suddenly sprint upward—however wild the rally, it doesn’t mean you should flip and short them.
There are opportunities every day in the market. No need to always grab the hottest knife.
Shorting against the trend at a high level is not a bet on technicals—it’s gambling on luck.
If you don’t understand it, wait. If there’s no signal, go to cash.
Being able to control your hands is itself a kind of trading skill.
The market is still brewing. Follow me and get in on my setup—let’s plan the next breakout coin together!
