The stage of balance between long and short forces is great for making money, squeezing out shorts and then longs! A day of back and forth between the upper and lower edges of the fluctuations makes it easy to earn money, and as the market grows larger, everyone gets more. The hardest time to make money is during a crash, where part of the money disappears, part is taken by the exchange, and only less than half is taken by the shorts. However, that's just how the market works; with explosive rises, there are also crashes.
