The bears finally breathe a sigh of relief. The start of 2026 has indeed been a profitable wave for short sellers. Looking at the market trend from the beginning of the year, after repeatedly testing the key resistance level, the short positions broke through completely, triggering a chain reaction that drove the entire market down. This round, the stop-loss orders of the bulls and the take-profit orders of the bears collided, forming a beautiful V-shaped reversal. Looking back, the long-suppressed bearish sentiment last year was fully released during the year-end rally — this is the market's cyclical rotation.

The short squeeze this time was really intense. I was stunned when the stop-loss orders cascaded in a waterfall-like plunge.

The short position made a really satisfying profit this wave, but our long positions shouldn't be in a hurry to admit defeat.

---

Such a beautiful V-shaped reversal, is it next time for the bulls to turn around?

---

It's another cycle rotation, another emotional release. To put it nicely, it's ultimately a game of chips.

---

I've seen too many plays of breaking the level and crashing down. The question is, when can it stabilize?

---

Last year's suppressed bearish sentiment, should we now suppress bullish sentiment this year?

---

Stop-loss and take-profit collide, with retail investors losing everything in between. This is the market cycle.

---

Beautiful V-shape? I see more as a V for cutting leeks.

---

Breaking the level leads to a crash, rebound leads to bullish stop-loss. This gameplay is really a bit boring.

Shorts made a killing, and our longs got cut again and again

---

Breaking the level is just breaking the level, anyway I’ve become numb

---

V-shaped reversal? That’s a V-shaped rebound, my position speaks

---

Last year’s suppressed emotions, this year’s suppressed mindset

---

Stop-loss orders and take-profit orders collide, colliding with my principal

---

Cycle rotation, cycle rotation, who’s next to be eliminated?

---

Beautiful V-shaped reversal, so beautiful that I want to vomit

---

The shorts are proud, I keep a humble attitude

---

It’s not me who’s full and satisfied, it’s the exchange’s transaction fees

---

This wave of market is really powerful, and my funds are even more powerful

This wave of short positions is indeed fierce, with long stop-loss orders piling up into mountains.

Bro, why didn't I catch this round of short positions? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have added so much leverage on that last day of the year. Now seeing others so prosperous really hits hard.
