Shorting RAVE, just for that second of 'I shorted the top' excitement?
Brothers are constantly posting screenshots like this in the Binance Square and groups: 'I shorted at the highest point of RAVE! How refreshing is the waterfall now? 😂' Accompanied by a green candlestick, the comments are flooded with 'Master', 'Awesome', 'Take me with you'. Are you really going to settle the accounts? The price can drop by at most 100% to zero, but they treat the funding rate as if it were air. When the heat is high, short sellers still have to keep paying, and they would rather pay while waiting for 'that second of the waterfall'. This is not a transaction, it is purely a performance. 1. It's just to show off. They short not to make money, but to prove 'I am smarter than all of you'.
Why did both HYPE and LIT rise in this Perp DEX wave, while ASTER didn’t really move? Can Ondo Perps succeed?
For this round of Perp DEX: HYPE, LIT, ASTER, plus ONDO that just entered—how do I see it? Recently, Perp DEX has been heating up again, but these projects are not driven by the same logic. First, look at the real data right now: Hyperliquid 30d Perp volume traded: about 200 billion OI: about 12.5 billion 30d protocol revenue: about 38.43 million Aster 30d Perp volume traded: about 45.7 billion OI: about 2.3 billion Market cap: about 1.8 billion Lighter 30d Perp volume traded: about 37.1 billion OI: about 1.08 billion Market cap: about 820 million So there’s a very interesting phenomenon: ASTER’s business performance is actually stronger than Lighter’s, but the coin just doesn’t have as much upside potential as LIT.
Ate well. Took profit at 800 and cut 80% of the position. The remaining gains can run on their own—go, go, go!

$ZEC The on-chain data is too good—I couldn’t help but follow in. Before the market opens tonight, I’ll clear most of my positions in the mainstream coins and reduce my altcoin holdings. I’ll wait for a reasonable pullback before acting.
$ZEC If this BYD is going to break out, it’s really hard to say how high it could go. ETF application progress + potential demand of 200,000 ZEC from DCG + altcoin rotation + a daily-line major convergence breakout Most importantly: ZEC’s shorts have always been the most, and the most aggressive. ZEC has always been the one least liked by everyone and the one people criticize the most. If there really is a breakout, it may even become fuel.

$BCH 250 I took profit earlier. I also have BCH spot; if it breaks above 250, it will be really exciting. That means BCH has completed the weekly order-flow pullback and a CHOCH.
A small idea ☝️@玺九爺HBJX enters a follower trade after a trader suffers a huge loss—what is that, if not buying the dip?
Actually, thinking about it this way is quite interesting. Back then, @Btc星辰 endured the position and cut the loss, only to later rally it back. After @熬鹰资本 experienced a drawdown of more than 60%, it simply took off.
When a mature trader experiences a major drawdown, they generally become more cautious, more sensitive, and more driven to make money.
For now, putting aside the controversies in the community about hedging—if you profit from follower trading, the outcome is your own responsibility. If you can make money by trading followers, that’s already good. When the signal provider is raking in gains, you add some; when the signal provider is losing, you add more money—what is that but a kind of trading? It’s just that the “asset” being traded is called “human nature.”
$BTC Tonight there’s a lot of action on the news front: the White House encrypted meeting, regulatory expectations, and Trump’s remarks—all are adding fuel to bullish sentiment. The problem is, what this kind of market fears most is expectations getting priced in too fully, only for a sudden TACO move to come in at the end.
I’ll wait for a pullback before entering. 67.2k–67.8k is a spot to take a small long position; 66k–66.8k is the level I like more—this is worth fighting with a bigger position. If it comes, then go for it!!! If we truly come back to 64.5k–65k, that’s actually where you should focus closely on support holding.
First, look for 69k–70k on the upside. If it can hold there, then we’ll look for 72k.
The main thing to watch tonight is TACO. Trump’s speech sounds bullish, but if it’s just repeating the old line about the U.S. becoming a crypto hub—without any fresh items like BTC reserves, the CLARITY Act, or bank access—then it could easily spike up and then quickly dump. See exactly what the meeting says.
If there’s a fake breakout followed by a breakdown below 64, all I can say is that would be a very pitiful and terrifying manipulation. There’s a chance of that—don’t take it lightly.
No matter what, stick with the last few months of this bear market, keep DCA’ing spot. There will be many days like this afterward.
So my plan is very simple:
Don’t chase big green candles—wait for pullbacks. If the news is better than expected, follow the momentum and go long. If the news is just average, be careful of sell the news.
A TACO-style market isn’t unable to go up—it’s just don’t grab the last baton when the market is at its most excited. Today is a huge crypto miracle day! Don’t play with your “get ready to store that” stuff.
$BTC The moment it starts rising, all kinds of hindsight experts come out. I personally can only see up to about 60,700 and 60,800 at most, but all those forum line-drawing masters who supposedly could see 70,000 in advance are all here now.
$SNDK There is no highest—only higher. This month I first shorted SanDisk. In any case, as you get closer to the 1668 level, the short positions should be reduced.
$HYPE daily line neckline breakdown reclaiming the moving average, and above the VIX Vegas level. The hype nobody is paying attention to has been quiet for a long time since its last burst of heat
Just rambling—come back in a few years and see who gets slapped.
A rough observation: the dollar’s peg is quietly extending from oil to AI computing power. Before, it was “buying oil requires dollars”; in the future, it might be “accessing top-tier AI requires dollars.” Holding dollars, in a sense, means holding access to the world’s leading AI. To break this monopoly, one path is accelerating the offensive with domestic large models—but more fundamentally, it would be the emergence of a non-dollar-dominated AI ecosystem and settlement network. As for stablecoins, the mainstream ones right now are actually dollar on-chain stand-ins. Don’t count on them for now. What does a truly “non-dollar AI ecosystem” require?
$SNDK SanDisk trend temporarily reversed. The long at 1220 has already been partially reduced by 1500 lots. On the pullback to 1388–1400, continue adding and holding. The storage narrative is still not over.
$BTC reminds that the current trend is still bearish; be cautious when trading both longs and shorts in the contracts. DCA the spot in batches. Bought a bit of BGB next door, and its performance is pretty good—it may have the potential to go up by 10x. $BNB BNB should be held on to and it continues to strengthen. $UNI and AAVE can be accumulated on dips a bit. Also mentioned doing interactions with the Base wallet (can I still wait to receive a Base airdrop before the end of 2026?)
