Coins that experience rapid surges and move away from their moving averages in the market can actually be considered for short positions. But the key is timing—don't rush in just because you see the upward trend. This can easily lead to being caught off guard. A smarter approach is to wait for two or three 15-minute K-line candles; when the upward momentum begins to weaken and the energy diminishes, then take action. The success rate will be much higher at this point. As long as you avoid heavy all-in positions, you generally won't get trapped.

Conversely, if you've already bought a coin that is still skyrocketing, this is when the temptation is greatest. Many people can't resist adding to their positions, wanting to earn more. But history tells us that such rapid surges will eventually face a pullback. It's better to let the situation develop for a while, stay patient, and not rush to increase your position. The market's temperament is like this—after a surge, it will eventually fall back.

That's right, I'm just afraid of being greedy. I clearly know I should wait for the momentum to weaken before taking action, but I still get itchy and rush in. It truly feels uncomfortable when I'm hit back and knocked down at that moment.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. How many people can truly resist chasing the rise... I've seen too many people get caught and eaten up by the surge.

ngl, the empirical data on mean reversion strategies actually contradicts most of this lol. timing the exact K-line exhaustion point? that's just decentralized hopium dressed up as technical analysis. let me be direct—without proper KPIs and risk frameworks, this is basically governance-by-vibes territory, which historically doesn't age well 🤓

You're right, but I'm just afraid of impulsively chasing highs, and this is how I get harvested every time.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. I don't think there are many who can hold back from adding more when the price skyrockets to madness. The moment you add to your position, your mind stops thinking clearly, and you ignore all risk management.

That's right, I've been called out too many times like this... Seeing the limit-up board makes me want to rush in, but I end up getting trapped into numbness. Now I've learned to wait until the momentum weakens before taking action. Although I earn a bit less, at least I don't lose.

That's a good point, but I still think most people simply can't have this kind of "patience"... Out of ten, not even one can wait until the momentum weakens before taking action. The part about adding positions really hits the nerve—every time they say this time is different, but in the end, it's still themselves who get caught in the trap.

Speaking casually, who can really hold up during actual operation? When you see the coin soaring, can you stay unmoved? I, for one, lost it on that additional buy.
