Shorts really find it difficult to catch the bottom in a rebound market. Watching the price go up, holding a short position, wanting to profit from a reverse rebound difference, and what happens? The market suddenly accelerates upward, hitting stop-loss. That's why many say that rebound markets are the hardest for shorts—one misstep, and instead of making quick profits, you get hammered the other way. It's easy to say in theory, but in actual trading, the psychological game is the biggest test.

That's how a short position works—when a rebound comes, you have to admit defeat. Being greedy for a two-point spread can actually lead to bigger losses.

Rebound kills the shorts, and this wave has been smashed again.

A rebound is a nightmare for the bears, I have realized.

I kept saying when to start shorting, but every time I got caught by the rebound and got squeezed in, my mentality just collapsed.
