Have you noticed how the urge to top-tick a rally almost always ends in immediate pain?
Most traders lose more money trying to guess the exact reversal point than they ever do by simply waiting for confirmation. Entering a short position before momentum actually slows down usually means paying tuition to the market.
Take a look at what happens when you step in front of pure strength. On September 21, a trader opened a perp short on $BTC while the asset was pushing +5.02%, only to sit on an unrealized loss of -5,460.74 $USDT almost immediately. The macro thesis might eventually play out, but poor execution without structural confirmation turns high-conviction setups into expensive drawdowns.
When major assets like $BTC and $ETH surge with spot absorption, liquidity sweeps easily blow past resistance levels before any real exhaustion shows up. Being fundamentally right at the wrong time is functionally the same as being wrong.
Are you waiting for confirmed market structure breaks before taking counter-trend positions, or do you still try to front-run the top?
