Recently, the market has provided many opportunities for shorting, and I really feel the itch. Looking at the trends of PIPPIN, US, and RIVER, I feel that some positions are indeed worth taking. To be honest, the thrill of going all-in sometimes comes from these moments—precisely timing the short entries feels more exciting than going long.

However, on the other hand, shorting requires a stronger risk management awareness. Each of these three tokens has its own characteristics recently: RIVER has relatively larger fluctuations, US is more stable, and PIPPIN has its own market narrative. To truly profit from shorting, the key is to understand the trend and set proper stop-losses.

Is anyone else observing these tokens? What does everyone think about this round of market?

PIPPIN-5%

US-5,1%

Shorting is indeed satisfying, but before going all-in, think about the feeling of liquidation caused by leverage.

shorting when sentiment peaks is just poetry in motion ngl... but that RIVER volatility reads like a tragedy waiting to happen tbh

Shorting is really satisfying, but I got burned by RIVER recently. Now I’m a bit hesitant about these coins.

Another useless innovation, this time it's the thrill of shorting. Theoretically, it should be feasible. Let me try this smart trap first.

The thrill of shorting is real, but I find the recent RIVER trend a bit strange. Going all-in is all about timing, you're right. US is indeed more stable, but stability doesn't necessarily make it easy to short. I think the narrative behind PIPPIN hasn't fully unfolded yet. Stop-loss settings are really important; once you've lost money once, you'll understand. What are everyone’s recent shorting targets? Feels like everyone's thinking is pretty similar.

I understand the thrill of shorting, but that wave of RIVER's volatility can really easily lead to liquidation.

Shorting is satisfying, but I think RIVER's recent move is a bit aggressive. I've heard quite a few horror stories about cutting losses.

Shorting is fun, but I chickened out. Setting stop-loss too tight makes it easy to get stopped out.

Going all-in on short positions can indeed be addictive, but I find this round of RIVER's volatility a bit concerning. Have you set your stop-loss? Don't get hit by a reverse move later.

The thrill of going all-in is real, but what I care more about is whether I've set my stop-loss properly --- RIVER is fluctuating this much and you still dare to short? That takes guts --- US does look stable, but stable things are sometimes the most dangerous --- Shorting makes money fast but loses it just as fast. I prefer to play it steady --- To be honest, I can't quite read this market cycle, but since you're bearish, give it a try --- You make a good point about risk management, but most people don't care about it when they're going all-in --- I think the PIPPIN narrative feels a bit off. It looks like it's bound to break support --- Timing the market precisely? Ha, that's just talk --- Being bearish on all three is truly aggressive, but if I had to pick one, I'd still go with RIVER --- Itchy fingers are a sign of losing money. I've learned that lesson
