The STO rebound this time is quite fierce, and I've seen many people thinking about shorting. But honestly, the timing isn't quite right yet. I saw someone trying to short at around $0.20, only to get hammered in the opposite direction. Those using high leverage without setting stop-losses are probably having a tough time now.
My feeling is that instead of rushing to short, it's better to wait a bit longer. Wait until around $0.50 or after mid-April, when the opportunity will be clearer. Then, gradually build a short position in batches, which will increase the win rate.
The most important point: Never operate contracts based on gut feeling, and don't think shorting can quickly double your money. Be patient and wait for truly confident opportunities before taking action. If there are no good signals, just observe patiently—this way, you're less likely to get caught.
