#Gate13周年现场直击 BTC Intraday Short Selling Plan
Aggressive Shorts (Test the waters first; don’t miss the move)
Short entry zone: 75,800 – 76,200
Stop loss: 76,800
Take profit: 74,900 / 74,300
Logic:
When price chops at high levels intraday, the first time it touches a resistance zone often triggers a pullback.
This is an initial short attempt—use a small stop loss to test whether there is real sell pressure above.
Conservative Shorts (Chase after the spike)
Short entry zone: 76,800 – 77,500
Stop loss: 78,200
Take profit: 75,200 / 74,500
Logic:
If aggressive shorts get stopped out, it means the market is further squeezing the bears.
Only at higher levels can a true distribution zone form—making for a better shorting spot.
Scaling in logic (amplify with the trend)
Condition: Break below 74,800 and the rebound loses steam
Add-on zone: 74,500 – 74,800
Target: 73,500 / 72,800
Logic:
This isn’t about shorting early—it’s about waiting for the market to confirm “it can’t go up anymore,” which signals a continuation of the downward leg.
Intraday structure assessment
Current: Choppy but leaning strong → nearing a turn for weakness
Resistance above tested multiple times
If it can’t break through → likely to shift into a pullback
Key point:
No short unless it breaks—after it turns weak, then short.
Execution core
Aggressive orders: Light position to test
Conservative orders: Main position
Add-on orders: Confirm first, then scale up
Sequence:
Test first → then follow on → then scale up further
Shorts aren’t about calling the top—they’re about waiting for the bulls to fail.
