Many people ask, why not go long when the market rebounds? To be honest, this requires you to first see the overall direction clearly.

When a coin loses popularity, it is destined to weaken. This is not complicated logic; a rebound is just a temporary technical performance and cannot change the fundamental decline. My strategy is very clear: I won't follow the trend to go long, as that would trap me in chasing the rally.

Taking partial profits is necessary to prevent the gains from being wiped out again. But I will continue to hold my short positions in the core holdings, and even add to my shorts at the rebound high points — this is a risk-controlled operation.

Currently, my short position size has reached about $39,000. The overall plan is to wait for this decline to complete, then shift focus to find the next potential opportunity. The market is always cyclical; the key is not to be fooled by short-term rebounds, but to have patience and wait for the true trend reversal point. Once you see clearly, the operation becomes simple.

Well said. Shorting $39,000 on the flip side is just ridiculous. If this rebound really crashes down, you'll be the one to lose.

Really, a rebound is an opportunity for you to take profits; don't be fooled into chasing the rally. Short positions remain solid like a mountain, just waiting for the next opportunity. The fundamentals haven't improved; the rebound is just an illusion. A short position at 39,000 is a serious attitude. That's right, if you can't see the direction clearly, don't move recklessly. Only then can you survive longer. A rebound ≠ a reversal; too many people confuse these two concepts.

Oh no, another bearish believer, with a position of 39,000 USD, their courage is really impressive. Adding to the short position at the rebound high? Brother, are you gambling out of frustration or do you really have confidence... It's easy to talk about the big picture, but when has the market ever been predictable? Be careful not to face reverse sanctions. What you said is not wrong, but no one knows when the real turning point will come. Can you wait? This move is for the bold; either you make a killing or get wiped out, there's no middle ground. Taking profits is wise, but holding the core short position continuously, can the pressure be small? The idea of a fundamental decline sounds plausible, but who in the crypto world can be sure? Black swans are flying everywhere.

A rebound is just an opportunity to cut leeks; coins with no hype are truly dead. Holding short positions is the way to go; chasing the rally is really stupid. A short position of $39,000 is quite a bold move. Wait for the decline to finish before looking for the next target; that's what it means to be alive.

Hmm, a short position of $39,000. This guy really has conviction, not just talk. If it rebounds, it rebounds. We'll just watch. Take profits when possible, don't be greedy.

ngl, been through enough cycles to know when a bounce is just the network struggling to find consensus. that 3.9k short position? yeah, that's how you actually manage difficulty adjustments in your portfolio lol. seen too many miners chase the hashrate spike only to get rekt when the epoch resets. patience wins the long game fr fr

A rebound is an opportunity to sell; chasing the rally only makes you a leek. Hold your short positions firmly, it's that simple. When the fundamentals are deteriorating, a rebound even to a higher level is pointless, just about enough. The real opportunity comes after this wave, no need to rush. Chasing the rally is easy; understanding the trend is the real challenge.

Basically, a rebound is a good opportunity to short. Those chasing the rise really deserve to be cut. When the hype dies down, it's a dead signal. Why still bet on a reversal? Shorts at 39,000 USD—that's real confidence. Not following the trend makes you a winner. Wait, a higher rebound to add more shorts? I like the rhythm. The market is that simple. If you see through it, you make money; if you don't, you'll get harvested.
