Short Selling High Valuation New Projects Strategy Reference

Recommendation 1: MON (Monad)

Project Overview:

Positioning: VC-backed Layer 1 blockchain (supported by top institutions like Paradigm)

Launch Date: November 24, 2024 (Bitget/Bybit)

Current Price: $0.02899 (as of December 3, 2025 UTC)

Short Selling Logic:

1. Valuation Bubble:

Total Financing $431.5M, estimated launch FDV $1B+ has dropped 70% from peak $0.10 to $0.029, but still far higher than actual value

2. Extremely Concentrated Chips and Ongoing Distribution:

24-hour trading volume plummeted -13.22%, indicating that large holders are accelerating their exit

Funding Rate 0.005-0.01 (longs pay shorts), excessive leverage on longs vulnerable to liquidation

3. Fundamental Collapse:

Community Backlash: Only 3% airdropped to the community vs 25% to the team, labeled "scam testnet users"

User Exodus: 70% of airdrop recipients immediately sell off and turn to other projects

Product Gaps: No substantial applications on the mainnet, KOLs criticize "engagement without returns"

4. Technical Bear Market Confirmation:

1-day Line: ADX 52.3 strong downtrend, price below BB midline $0.0264

MACD: histogram -0.00020 (4-hour bear divergence)

Support Level: Has broken below critical level $0.030, next target $0.025

Contract Availability: Bitget, Bybit perpetual contracts are open

Recommended Strategy:

Entry: $0.029-0.032 range for phased shorting

Stop Loss: $0.036 (+24%)

Target: $0.020 (-31%), aggressive view $0.015 (-48%)
