Don't remind me again today

In a Bear Market, one must consider the matter of counter-trend shorts. If the market has too few short positions, the platform will lack the motivation to pump and play people for suckers, and instead, it will get dumped to clear long positions. This kind of one-sided market is the most dangerous; if things go wrong, a 50% Slump is not impossible. Therefore, maintaining balance between longs and shorts is key; there must be someone to hold the short positions.

Someone has to bear the short positions, otherwise, who will pay the bill when it all goes downhill?

If short positions can't hold on, they have to follow the trend and sell off; it's really troublesome.

Getting dumped all the way down to clear long positions is really something, I just got caught in the crossfire like this...

The lack of short positions is indeed a risk, but to be honest, the platform has always had the motivation to play people for suckers.

Too few short positions can really be crushed; someone indeed has to catch a falling knife this time.

The logic behind the Bear Market short order seems more and more mysterious to me the more I listen to it; in real trading, there aren't that many intricacies.

Short positions不足反而更砸?这逻辑我得琢磨琢磨

Short positions are indeed too few and can easily be smashed; I have also suffered losses in this round. The key still lies in whether the exchange's market depth is sufficient. Coins with poor liquidity are most prone to such one-sided massacre.
