ZEC's recent trend has indeed attracted attention. Dropping directly from a bottom of 300.78 to 516.51, the short-term increase exceeds 70%. It looks great, right?

But think calmly about what it means to enter at the 516 level. Setting a stop loss at the previous low of 440? That’s a 15% loss potential. Placing take profit at 600? That’s only a 15% gain. A 1:1 risk-reward ratio—such gambling-style setup is destined to lose in any market.

Don’t be fooled by those beautiful candlestick charts. The most dangerous time is when green volume bars explode—this is precisely the sign of the main force accumulating. Buying in at this point is just giving the market makers a year-end bonus. Good technicals look nice, but in the face of boundaryless risks, any technical indicator is just a paper tiger.

Before chasing highs, ask yourself these three questions: What is your loss tolerance? Is your profit target realistic? Are the risks and rewards truly aligned?

You're again advising people not to chase highs, but I think this time is different... Just kidding, haha. But indeed, a 1:1 profit and loss ratio is really greedy, there's no fault in that statement. The year-end is here, don't give the market makers a gift. First, figure out how much you can lose before making a move. I was also there when the green candlestick volume exploded, and now I kind of regret it...

Exactly right, I fell into this trap before. I bought on the day the green candles exploded, and I got stuck directly.

It's the same story of chasing highs, I've seen it too many times. You're right, I'm also watching this one, but entering at 516? You'd have to be pretty reckless to do that. The moment the green candle volume exploded, I knew something was going to happen. Really, it’s always like this.

The guys who chased in at 516 must be regretting it now, right? Always the last to buy at a high point end up holding the bag, no exceptions. Green candlestick with explosive volume? That’s my signal to run, okay? Daring to bet with a 1:1 risk-reward ratio—what is that if not gambling? It seems many people are blinded by candlestick charts; what about fundamentals and risk control? This kind of market feels exciting, but if you really get in, you might lose so much you start questioning life. It's already too late to ask these three questions now; you should have asked them before chasing in.
