Saying "long or short is the same" is the classic mistake of beginners.
There is no symmetry
In a long the price can rise "infinitely".
In a short, however, the real margin is limited: the price cannot go below zero.
So the potential of a long is always wider, cleaner and more linear.
The short has a more compressed and often unpredictable reward.
Now you can understand why I mainly look for the long ones and in the downtrend or choppy phases I just stay to watch (or at most a coverage potion on ETH or BTC)

When people talk about the "end of QT", many automatically think of a market that takes off like a rocket. In reality, looking at what actually happened in the past, especially in 2019, we realise it's not that simple.
When the Federal Reserve concluded QT in 2019, Bitcoin did not experience an immediate price explosion. In fact, in the following month a phase of weakness and consolidation began, with prices even falling by around 30-35%. Not because the end of QT was negative, but because that change doesn't immediately bring in new liquidity: it simply stops draining it. And for the markets, it takes time to 'feel' the difference.
It's an important point: the end of QT doesn't mean QE.
It doesn't mean fresh money is coming in.
It simply means the central bank stops removing liquidity from the system.
And indeed, the market often needs a few weeks, if not months, to understand whether that new stability will truly translate into a risk-on environment. In the case of Bitcoin, history tells us that the real bullish movement does not start immediately, but when other factors align: rates that begin to fall, confidence that returns, flows that move towards the most volatile assets. That's where BTC reacts strongly. Not "the next day".
So the message for those who follow you is simple but fundamental:
Don't expect an immediate pump just because the QT ends.
Much more often, the first reaction is a flat, slow phase or even a small retraction. The market needs time to digest the change of pace, and only then… if the macro conditions improve comes the powerful movement.It's a useful lesson because it helps to avoid that impulsive mentality that so many in your audience have: to believe that every macro event immediately creates a trend.The truth is that trends are born from the combination of multiple factors, not from a single ad.And you, who work with a complete macro vision, know this well: the end of QT is a catalyst, not a trigger. It is the first step towards a softer environment, but not the immediate ignition of the bull market.You need patience, you need context, and you need to be able to read the real liquidity - not the emotional reactions of the mass.
