Watching Bitcoin suddenly surge, I was caught off guard and impulsively closed all my long positions, and also closed my shorts. As a result, I incurred a floating loss of over 6000, which was heartbreaking.

But just five minutes after putting down my phone, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. I pulled up the chart again, examining the candlestick patterns, volume performance, and even my market intuition—all of which told me that this wave might still drop further. At such times, you have to trust your instincts.

Without overthinking, I immediately reversed and went short. This time, I adjusted my position allocation: I shorted 40,000 ZEC, increased my position in TAO and shorted 100,000. I also shorted 30,000 BTC. The bet is on the upcoming downward trend.

Now, I am waiting for a rebound while gradually reducing my positions, aiming to recover my losses as soon as possible. This is trading—sometimes, losses are the best signal, as long as you dare to trust your judgment.

This mindset is impressive. After losing, I wouldn't dare to try again. I don't have that courage, haha.

Oh wow, this is a typical case of "Luban No.7 is under construction again." First, lock yourself inside and then talk. A hot sell-off resulted in a floating loss of 6000. After five minutes, I realized the mistake and reversed to short. This rhythm is incredible... In theory, it should be feasible, but I bet five dollars I will repeat this cycle next time. TAO has 100,000 short positions. This contract is quite interesting; it depends on whether it's meant to make money or lose money.

Haha, this move is truly exciting. Cancel the order for five minutes and then turn around, really bold.

Oh no, that was really exciting. You shorted so many right after... I think your approach is correct. Sometimes stop-losses can actually save your life, as long as you react quickly. But 100,000 TAO is a bit aggressive. Bro, you need to be careful with this rebound... Honestly, listening to your intuition about this theory, it’s only really valuable if you win two or three times. Losing 6,000 yuan temporarily is nothing. The key is whether you can turn it around this time. Then you can brag later. This rhythm chart does seem to have a bit of a downward trend, so let’s see how far the rebound can push.

Oops, this wave of reverse operation is really using losses to test my own stress tolerance. Let's see if the booster can hold up. This is what a true trader looks like—being able to turn things around within five minutes of regret. Not everyone has that kind of courage. Short position aligned, TAO with 100,000 tokens at this configuration is a bit aggressive. Just waiting for the downward momentum to take off. This is the free educational fee the market gives you; the feeling of losing money is actually the clearest. This move to reverse and go short was indeed a bit aggressive. All I can say is, if you bet right, you're a hero.
