ZEC is so arrogant! I’m going to take it on. It has risen 30% in 3 days. Where can I short it? Let’s talk about some major trading opportunities in the crypto market.
1. ZEC is purely crazy—its profit potential is enormous. When it rises, it goes up by 30%; when it falls, it drops 20-30%. The profit space is very big. So now that it has surged so much, where should we short it?
2. At the moment, ZEC’s resistance is around 410. I’ll gradually set up some short positions near here—just 1x leverage, no risk of liquidation. Once the hype cools down, it will drop extremely hard, often falling 20-40%. Even if it traps you for a short time, it will ultimately drop and you’ll still end up profitable. So even with 1x leverage, our profits are still very significant.
3. So although ZEC’s strong resistance is around 410, the other factor we still need to consider is waiting for its hype to pass. We can’t use the same high-multiple thinking as we do with Bitcoin to trade ZEC, because it has 30x leverage built in—opening 1x already means you’re exposed to 30x volatility.
4. As for Bitcoin, there isn’t much arbitrage space. Daily fluctuations are too small—less than 1%. See if Monday has some decent movement you can trade. I’m not chasing longs on BTC, because it has been up for a month, with a total gain of as much as 25%. In that situation, going long carries a very high risk.
5. Going long might net you 1-3%—but the risk is that it might pull back hard at any time. So I’d rather set up some shorts on the higher side than join the long crowd’s excitement, and wait for the hype to pass so it can retrace a lot.
6. Compared with Bitcoin’s uncertainty, CLUSDT’s crude oil trend is clearer. No matter how it chops around in the short term, in the long run it will definitely fall—returning to the normal range of 70-80 oil price. That’s a 20-30% drop. That’s enough. Just set up a few shorts in batches and hold them—waiting for that big bearish candle once the US and Iran reach an agreement. Opportunities always go to those who are prepared. You agree, right?
