Trying to short a runaway momentum pump just because it looks expensive is a mistake that will wipe out your account.
Too many traders watch an asset double, assume gravity has to kick in immediately, and end up funding the exact liquidation cascade that fuels the next leg up.
We watched $QNT blast off from $60 to $150 yesterday, and the immediate reflex across the timeline was to hunt for a top to fade. Fast forward twenty-four hours and it is printing candles up to $375 while bears are left wondering what hit them. It brings back memories of classic parabolic runs on $LINK or early $SOL expansions, where market structure and aggressive positioning completely override whatever the underlying news catalyst was supposed to be worth.
The headlines might not logically justify this massive influx of capital, but order books never care about fair value when trapped positions are forced to market-buy their way out. These levels could easily mark an exhaustion point, yet stepping in front of vertical price action before confirmation is just donating liquidity to the market makers.
Are you taking profits up here, or do you think there is still enough fuel left for another push?
