The recent movement of the US stock market is quite interesting—initial declines were forcibly pushed higher, and this kind of fluctuation makes one reevaluate strategies.
To be honest, my previous plan was to establish short positions at 3025 and 3075, with a stop-loss set at 3100. As a result, the stop-loss was triggered, and I couldn't withstand this wave of upward movement. The short position on Ethereum was also closed out with a stop-loss, incurring a small loss.
My current idea is to observe calmly and not rush into shorting again. Since the US stocks surged so strongly, I will wait for a pullback signal at high levels before taking action. If technical indicators indeed show signs of adjustment then I will consider whether to re-establish short positions. The same logic applies to Ethereum—wait and watch before acting, avoiding impulsive moves driven by rebound emotions.
In this kind of market, protecting capital is more important than chasing profits.

Stop-loss was hit, it's a bit uncomfortable, but this rally is indeed fierce.

Stop-loss was triggered, this wave is indeed fierce... I think your calm observation and decision-making are reliable, don't be scared into panic buying by the rebound momentum.

yeah the market structure here is arguably exhibiting some non-trivial path dependency issues... got stopped out at 3100 which, tbh, speaks to suboptimal risk management on my part. governance frameworks around position sizing definitely need recalibration.

Cutting losses and exiting is also a way to make money. That's what they say, but I still feel anxious inside.

Stop-loss being hit; this is when the market speaks. Just lie back and observe, don't bother yourself anymore.
