Last week’s top gainer can easily become this week’s exit liquidity. 💯
I keep seeing the same cycle with coins like $USELESS, $LAB and $LSK.
A coin pumps hard, late buyers start chasing, longs pile in, leverage builds up… and eventually the same momentum that attracted everyone starts working against them.
That doesn’t mean every gainer has to crash. It’s all about timing and liquidity.
Once the easy move is gone, staying trapped in a crowded long can make the downside much more painful.
That’s why I prefer keeping short positions small, around 1–5% of the wallet. It gives me room to handle volatility, add at better levels if the setup develops, and avoid getting wiped out trying to call the exact top.
Sometimes the trade isn’t about being early.
It’s about having enough liquidity to still be there when the market finally turns. 💯
