Why do I advise everyone to stay away from the current short-sellers? Here are a few reasons, each one a lesson learned from blood and tears.

1. Shorting in a bull market is betting against the trend.

The core logic of a bull market is: the trend is upward, and capital is continuously flowing in, often exceeding expectations.

When you short, you are essentially:

• Fighting against buying pressure,

• Fighting against sentiment,

• Fighting against the main market trend.

In short:

Shorting in a bull market is not “shorting at a high,” but rather “giving away money.”

2. The logic behind shorting can easily hold, but the market often “rises to the point of making you doubt life.”

Many people see a coin double and think, “It should drop now,”

but they forget: the biggest characteristic of a bull market is “it doesn’t follow logic.”

FOMO, institutional entry, hot narratives, ETF expectations... various news catalysts,

Clearly, the fundamentals haven’t changed, and the price can still double.

As a result, many short-sellers end up saying:

“I shorted at a historical high, and now it’s hitting new highs.”

“I didn’t get the short wrong; I got the timing wrong.”

3. Easily influenced by a negative mindset, spreading negative energy.

In a bull market, a group of short-sellers shout every day:

• “This wave will collapse after it rises”

• “This is a false bull”

• “I’m all in short, if it doesn’t drop, I’m done”

• “You’re all just retail investors, the big players are going to harvest you.”

Hearing these words too often can easily shake your faith, leading to premature exits and missing the main upward trend.

Many people are not defeated by the market,

But are first shaken by the short-sellers in their group, losing their faith.

4. They often shout short, but secretly go long themselves.

There is a type of short-seller who is “openly bearish, but secretly bullish,”

They shout short to incite panic, prompting others to cut losses while they scoop up cheap chips.

If you heed their “alarm,”

You might end up cutting your losses while they laugh and buy at the bottom.

In summary: A bull market is a feast for going long,

Shorting is like robbing a bank; it goes against the trend and is extremely dangerous.

Don’t think “it has risen too much, so I can short,”

In a bull market, it can rise even more after a big increase, and a 5% drop is just a pause.

Therefore, the smartest approach in a bull market is:

Stay away from shorting, focus on going long. Stay away from those who are bearish, so you can hold onto the chips that can lead to wealth.
