$RAVE

1. Straightforward Conclusion First

Light short positions with small size are completely logical and correct in direction.
RAVE has completed the main upward wave, cashed out at high levels, chips are heavily controlled by the big players, no further positive news, only a downward drift to unload → the long-term endgame is liquidity exhaustion to zero.
If you follow the trend and short, the direction is correct, much safer than blindly copying.

But here’s the key point:
Having the right direction doesn’t mean you can make money; this big player is best at killing shorts, stabbing to trigger stop-losses, and blowing out short positions. Many people understand the zeroing logic, but end up getting liquidated halfway up the mountain by a stabbing move.

2. The current double-collecting trap of the RAVE big player (you must understand)

I told you before:
Pulling up to 28 → cashing out completed → sideways trading near 1 dollar
Current market situation:

1. Retail traders are heavily long: everyone thinks that after falling from 28, 1 dollar is the floor, and they’re frantically buying the dip to go long.

2. The big player still has leftover stock to unload, while also earning funding fees + stabbing stop-losses.

The big player’s current market script:

• Slow downward decline: harvesting bottom-fishing longs

• Sudden violent stabbing rally: specifically to blow out all shorts
It won’t decline straight to zero; it will repeatedly stab, fake breakouts, induce longs, and blow out shorts, moving in a zigzag pattern, not a continuous fall.

3. Your advantage in shorting

1. The big trend’s fate: no fundamentals, no ecosystem, purely a capital-driven endgame, long-term depreciation inevitable.

2. Strong resistance overhead: 1.2 and 1.8 are ironclad tops, hard to break through effectively.

3. The big player no longer supports the price to push new highs; they are only unloading, so the overall center of gravity will keep dropping.

4. Small positions can withstand volatility; you won’t be wiped out by a stabbing move with heavy leverage.

4. The three deadliest pitfalls when shorting this coin (90% of shorts die here)

1. The big player’s exclusive stabbing blowout

Sideways trading between 0.9 and 1.1, then suddenly a quick surge to 1.3, 1.4, or even 1.6. A single stabbing move pushes the price up fast, stops out all shorts, then instantly crashes below 1 dollar.
It only blows out shorts, not genuine gains; after the surge, it falls back, specifically annoying short sellers.

2. Sideways grinding to eat funding fees

It can grind within a narrow range of 0.85–1.15 for weeks or even longer.
Shorts pay holding fees daily; the longer it takes, the more your profits are eaten by fees. Even if it finally drops, you end up breaking even or losing money.

3. Fake breakout trap to induce shorts

Occasionally touching 1.2, the market shorts all enter, then the big player reverses and pulls another wave, blowing out shorts and then crashing the price.

5. Customized: Strict rules for small-position shorts (life-saving version)

Perfectly suited for the current 0.9–1.1 range, just follow each step exactly:

1. Max out your position limit
Only trade very small positions, with capital no more than 5% of your total funds. Never add to your position, never increase short size, never chase shorts.
This coin’s big player controls infinitely; there’s no bottom, adding to shorts will kill you.

2. Strict stop-loss at key levels
Current resistance: $1.25
Set your short stop-loss at $1.30
Once broken, the big player will trigger a blowout stabbing, and you must exit unconditionally; don’t hold through it.

3. Tiered take-profit, avoid holding to zero long-term
Don’t hold onto the idea of “getting to zero.” If the market suddenly halts trading, closes the contract, or liquidity dries up, you might get liquidated if you can’t close your position.
Take-profit levels:

• First TP: 0.8

• Second TP: 0.7
Gradually reduce your position at these levels, lock in profits.

4. Absolute taboos

• No overnight heavy positions

• No chasing high shorts (the more it rises, the more dangerous to short)

• No holding through stabbing moves without stop-loss

• No leverage beyond 1–2x (the lower, the better)

6. Final summary in plain language

1. The shorting direction is completely correct, way safer than going long.
Going long is just catching the bag; shorting follows the big player’s distribution trend.

2. Small positions with light shorts are fine, but never hold through, never go heavy, never ignore stop-loss.

3. It won’t go straight to zero; it will repeatedly stab, then fall back, then grind sideways. You win by riding the big trend, not risking a single stabbing.

4. Core principle: profit from the downward trend, don’t gamble on immediate zeroing. Exit at target levels, never fight the trend.

In simple terms:
Light positions, low leverage, with stop-loss, and layered take-profits are safe for shorting; but heavy positions and ignoring stop-loss will get blown up by the big player’s stabbing moves, even if your direction is correct.
