With a position size of 5 million, the profit potential for shorting is limited. The key is to guard against the risk of a sudden surge—those violent reversals after a sharp dip, everyone has experienced that loss. Don't underestimate the tactics of certain capital players.



My own experience is quite typical. The plan to build a position at the bottom was good, but I was forced out by a washout. Last night around 9:30, I noticed some funds quietly accumulating. Today, AT and TRU are both doing well on the gainers list, but unfortunately, it was just a fleeting rally. The problem with altcoins is this—there are too many orders, and the entry point is often the start of a trend. Once there are profits, traders want to exit, lacking the broader perspective to hold. Conversely, when there are fewer orders, they dare to hold. The mindset is completely reversed.

TRU's current chart looks a bit awkward. Previously, I judged that wild whales were making sneak attacks to push the price up. Now, the trend pattern is hard to decipher. Instead of getting tangled in this uncertain market, it's better to stay cautious over the weekend. Some trash whales happen to exploit the low activity during weekends to manipulate the market, and entering at this time carries significant risk.
AT-0,5%
TRU-13,9%

It's the same old trick again—shakeout and rally, repeatedly getting hurt. Does anyone really think they can avoid it?

That tactic of shaking out the market is really clever; if you're not careful, you'll get your legs cut off.

Uh... being washed out in this part is so real, I've experienced it too. It's when your mindset is unstable that you're most likely to fall for it.

5 million, what are you afraid of? Just afraid that those trash manipulators will launch a surprise attack on the weekend. It's really hard to defend against.

Getting shaken out during a washout really takes the cake, it's even more disgusting than losing money.

Washed out again? I’ve never held the bottom, it’s always the same routine. --- Five million still shorting? Really daring. I’m just worried that a sudden surge might lead to a direct liquidation. --- Avoid trading during weekend行情, low activity is easiest for the whales to manipulate. --- TRU really hard to read now. Instead of guessing or betting, better wait until Monday. --- Shitcoins have this problem: once they see some profit, they want to run. No one can hold on. --- The moment you get washed out, do you want to smash your phone? Haha, I’ve thought about it anyway. --- Whales love doing this kind of thing on weekends. They strike hardest when activity is low. --- More orders mean easier to be washed out. That logic is correct. --- The funds detected last night have probably already run away. Another round of harvesting. --- AT and TRU have both been flash-in-the-pan. Very normal.

The trick of shaking out is really unpredictable; every time I think I see through it, I still get cut. With a volume of 5 million, the shorting space is indeed squeezed, and a slight rebound can wipe it all out. Don't touch TRU now; the market feels off. Better to relax over the weekend than to fight this uncertainty. The most annoying thing about altcoins is this: as soon as there's a profit, they want to run, and end up missing the big move. You really need to work on your mindset. Activity is lower over the weekend, making it easier for the big players to manipulate. Entering the market at this time is indeed asking for trouble.
