Recently, there hasn't been much profit from long positions, and I've been caught in several high-level stop-outs. Trying a different approach, I might consider shorting BTC, as it seems to better match the current market rhythm. Some assets indeed lack support from their fundamentals, making the opportunity for reverse trading clearer. It's still important to adapt strategies flexibly based on the actual market trend and not stick rigidly to one direction.

Shorting? Buddy, you better take it easy this time. Isn't the experience of catching the bag at a high level already bad enough?

Shorting BTC? Bro, are you trying to get rich the opposite way? Be careful not to get caught at the top again.

Shorting also requires caution. Getting caught long at high levels, then being pulled back at low levels, results in losses on both sides.

Getting trapped at a high level multiple times and still daring to go short again, man, your mindset is really strong.

Alright, this wave of thinking is indeed clear-headed. Being trapped in a long position indicates the market isn't cooperating; it's time to change strategies. After being trapped a few times, it's time to reflect. Trying reverse operations is indeed worth a shot. Getting stuck at high levels is painful; looking at it from a different perspective is quite wise. This is true flexible trading—don't stick rigidly to one direction. Coins without fundamental support should indeed be shorted; this actually presents more opportunities. When the bulls weaken, it's time to switch to shorts—that's a market rhythm issue. After being trapped several times, you finally wake up. It’s a bit late, but it's better than always holding a dead-long position.

Those who are stuck at high positions have a gambler's mentality. Can you make money by changing direction? First, ask yourself if you can cut losses.

Getting trapped at a high level is indeed frustrating, but reverse operations should also be approached with caution. Short positions don't always make money just by buying them.

Getting beaten up when going long, so switch to short. The speed of this turnaround... the market's leek harvesters.
