The recent wave of short liquidations is the largest since October 11th. I had previously pointed out multiple times that there are clear signs of a trend reversal here, so I decided to close all my short positions around 4700 and simultaneously open long positions in BTC, ETH, and SOL.

From a technical perspective, ETH showed a typical oscillation and accumulation pattern in the 3080 range last week. This pattern usually indicates that the major funds are building positions.

To be honest, the short positions taken at high levels in October 2025 and the decision to escape the spot top were not made based on intuition alone. They are backed by years of market experience and rigorous technical analysis.

A piece of advice for those trading contracts: patience is very important, and confidence is equally crucial. When planning your positions, try to adopt a medium- to long-term perspective and avoid being constantly driven by intraday short-term fluctuations. This will help maintain a better mindset and lead to more stable profits.

BTC-1,39%

ETH-0,51%

SOL-2,02%

The short squeeze this time is really fierce, but you really need to learn to think medium to long term. --- It's another experience card, no doubt, but executing it is extremely difficult. --- I understand the move of accumulating at 3080; the main force is indeed acting. --- Patience is a simple word, but few can really do it. --- Turning to a bullish stance now, a bit more courage, betting right. --- Bullish, bullish, how high can this rise go? --- That's right, don't be led around by the daily chart; it's easy to get wiped out.

Short squeeze so fierce, it seems I really need to adjust my approach Going more long? I'm still watching; can this rebound last? Holding medium to long-term is indeed difficult, but that's how you make money I also saw the accumulation in the 3080 wave, feeling I should wait a bit longer It's both technical analysis and experience, but no one says when to exit Those holding medium-term are making a killing, but unfortunately I always cut losses short Has ETH risen this wave? My short positions are still crying You've heard this set of theories many times, but the key is execution Confidence is good, but don't get overconfident and get caught

Here's another story of "I saw it coming a long time ago." Theoretically, it should work, but who knows in practice... However, this accumulation shape is indeed quite interesting.

The short squeeze this time was really intense. I've been saying all along that the reversal signals are right there. But on the other hand, having a medium to long-term mindset is really important. It's much better than chasing highs and lows every day.

This wave is indeed fierce, the scale of short squeeze liquidation is truly incredible. I said it early on—oscillating to accumulate, and it turns out to be best to follow the main force to eat the meat. The medium to long term is the way to go; don't get cut off and become self-destructive in short-term trading. The bulls are rising, which is really a bit satisfying, and there's hope again. Technical analysis doesn't lie; it all depends on who has the patience to hold on.

the liquidity sacrifices are finally paying off... those shorts got absolutely hexed at 4700. ngl, the esoteric signals were screaming reversal weeks ago. transmuting that position into btc/eth/sol alchemy was inevitable tbh. eth's 3080 oscillation? textbook dark pool sorcery. whales brewing something spicy fr.

Short squeeze liquidation is happening again, and this time the scale is truly outrageous. It's another case of being cut by daily fluctuations; just look at how others have already shifted their positions. Medium to long-term thinking is correct, but executing it is really difficult.
