BTC Short Position Deployment Observation

Currently, Bitcoin's price is facing pressure, with clear short-term profit-taking signals. Short-selling strategies should focus on the following key points: technically, the K-line structure shows top characteristics; on the capital side, large sell orders continue to emerge; psychologically, market sentiment is beginning to shift towards caution.

For investors participating in short trades, it is essential to strictly set stop-loss levels and stay alert to potential rebounds caused by unexpected positive news. Look for opportunities to sell high and buy low during short-term fluctuations, rather than blindly betting on a one-sided decline. In Bitcoin's cyclical volatility, risk management always takes precedence over potential gains.

Here comes the same old short trap again. Last time I said this, I got slammed by a rebound.

Talking about stop-loss again. Honestly, who can really stick to it?

Medical records show that this wave of short positions indeed has symptoms, but the clinical manifestations are not yet typical enough. The top features of the K-line + capital outflow symptoms... Hey, here’s the problem—I've seen this diagnostic logic several years ago, how come it can be reused every time the market turns? I agree with the stop-loss points, but when you say "sell high and buy low"—aren't you just setting the stage for strategy complications? It’s recommended to regularly review your risk warning thresholds to prevent profit-taking signals from turning into actual losses. What’s most amusing now is that market sentiment has "turned cautious"... cautious about what? Still waiting for a sudden positive rebound, right? This contradiction needs a health assessment report to reconcile.

Coming back with a bearish argument? I think, at times like this, it's easiest to get crushed; stop-losses are useless.

Same old story again, top characteristics? Bro, I've been watching this for so many years, I still tend to miss the boat. --- Large sell orders are appearing... It's true, but during these times, it's often easy to hit the bottom and bounce back. Be careful. --- Stop-loss setup is correct, but how many can actually execute it? Most are just talk. --- Talking about selling high and buying low is easy, but when a correction happens, the mentality explodes. --- Market sentiment turning cautious? I see a screen full of jokes about short sellers going bankrupt. --- Can this wave really fall further? Feels like we're headed for more oscillations and torment. --- Cycle fluctuations... Always talking about this term, but in the end, most get liquidated. --- Unexpected good news is hard to guard against; short sellers fear this the most. --- Risk comes before reward, honest words. Unfortunately, few people listen. --- I just want to know where the bottom really is in this wave.

Not setting a proper stop-loss really sets you back to square one overnight. I am a living example.

Are you trying to fool us into shorting again? Last time you said that, it directly rebounded by a thousand bucks. --- Stop-loss levels, huh? Easy to say, but when it comes to critical moments, everyone wants to take a gamble. --- Large sell orders on the funding side? From what I see on the order book, there are more buyers than sellers. This analysis is a bit off. --- The mindset has shifted to caution, indeed. I'm so cautious I don't dare to move my positions, let alone bottom fish. --- The first rule is risk management, no doubt. But the problem is, what about returns? How can we survive if all funds are arbitraged away? --- A sudden positive news rebound, that's correct. Last time, we got liquidated because we didn't leave any room. It's exhausting. --- Talking about selling high and buying low is easy, but in actual operation, who can grasp the rhythm? I'm the one who takes the final step. --- From your analysis style, it seems like another signal to cut a wave of leeks. --- I believe in cyclical fluctuations. The problem is, how long does this cycle last? By the time the cycle completes, I might have lost all my principal. --- Large sell orders emerging? Why haven't I seen the price drop? Instead, it's still trying to break through.
