🚀 $RAVE Just “swept clean” the short side convincingly! 🤣
If you still have doubts, look at real examples:
• $LAB: from a market cap of $48 million USD when first mentioned, it has increased to nearly $1 billion USD, while the funding rate remains positive 💰
• $SKYAI: from $9 million USD up to $700 million USD, but there is almost no significant short pressure, and the funding rate is still very high 😅
👉 This shows an important reality: during a strong upward trend, the market does not operate based on the “must have short sellers” logic — it’s simply that the capital flow is completely dominant.
📌 A trader’s mindset is not “gambling”
Here are the core principles to remember:
❌ Do not short highly volatile tokens
→ The risk of a “short squeeze” is extremely high
⚠️ Do not buy if you missed the bottom
→ You are accepting a much higher risk
✅ If you can’t catch the bottom → wait for strong support zones
→ If there’s still no good entry point → patiently wait for the next setup
💸 Strict capital management
→ Never risk more than 5% of the total account on a single trade
🚫 Avoid FOMO
→ Buying at the top is the fastest way to lose money
🔥 Hype is only beneficial when you get in early
→ When everyone is talking about it, the advantage is almost gone
⚠️ Lesson from $USDUC
A typical example:
• This token was pushed from a $2 million USD → $19 million USD market cap when listed on the exchange
• After “public” attention and widespread discussion → the price dropped back to ~ $10 million USD
👉 Those buying at the high are actually not investing, but gambling based on emotions
