Currently, in the Ethereum market, shorting on rallies is indeed a good strategy. Unless the price directly drops to the 2300 level, there won't be any new significant行情 before the end of the year.

The current situation is quite interesting—gold and the stock market are both in a bull market. What does this mean? It indicates that capital is flowing into those sectors. Is it easy for the crypto world to attract funds from traditional finance? Not in the short term. Large funds don't have sufficient reasons to move over. The longer this drags on, the more obvious the gains from shorting become, because the market will only look worse and worse.

Returning to Ethereum itself, its attractiveness is declining. No one is playing with altcoins, and the capital gap remains. Frankly, even mainstream coins like ETH are at risk in the current capital drought environment unless a clear rebound occurs. The historical low of 1500 is not impossible.

The logic of shorting is quite straightforward: a bull market that can't be supported will ultimately slide back. Instead of waiting, it's better to start positioning for shorts early.

All the short positions are opened, just waiting to watch the show.

Wow, does anyone really dare to claim ETH can rebound? All the funds are damn invested in gold now, haha.

Liquidity crunch has even made it difficult for mainstream coins to hold up, shorting indeed feels good --- Gold stocks are grabbing money, while our crypto circle is drinking northwest wind, this rhythm is too extreme --- Instead of kneeling and waiting for a rebound, it's better to pre-embed short orders, anyway, it can't be held up --- That bottom at 1500 is really not a scare tactic --- Waiting until 2300 to rescue the market? That's too optimistic, brother --- In this wave before the New Year, what else can we do besides shorting? There's really no other way --- The four words "decreased attractiveness" already say everything --- Big funds have no reason to come, small funds are still losing, who will pull the market? --- ETH has fallen to the point where risk needs to be worried about, how embarrassing is that? --- No one touches air coins anymore, not even Ethereum has any popularity, the short orders are lying in wait to win

A bull market that can't be sustained—so true. We're just waiting to die now.

Laughing to death, both gold and the stock market are eating into profits, and we here can't even get a sip of soup. This is the daily life in the crypto world. A bull market that can't be sustained should indeed fall. Instead of holding onto the dream of 1500, it's better to get in early and short, to avoid the daily mental exhaustion. Funds have all fled, and even air coins have no one to take over. In this environment, going long is just gambling on luck. ETH now is like my comic performance—dropping a different way each day. What are we waiting for? The probability of hitting 2300 is so low. Instead of waiting for a miracle, it's better to follow the trend. Really, looking at this market is more heartbreaking than watching stocks. During this time before the new year, there's basically no hope. The capital shortage is so surreal. Major investors have gone to trade gold, and our crypto circle is really quiet.
