Recently, the popularity of SHIB has indeed been high, but the problem is that there are too many retail investors, and the main funds are not making much move. I have placed a short position at the 8220 level, but I don’t plan to watch the market every day, as that makes it easier to get cut.

A common mistake among retail investors is crowding into popular areas, which is as dangerous as being trampled in a crowd. The true test of trading is not who reacts faster or who makes decisive buy and sell decisions, but who can survive until the end. Those who rush in and out are often either eaten by the main funds or consumed by their own greed.

Instead of watching the K-line every day, it’s better to calmly develop a plan, set stop-losses, and let time do the talking.

ngl the retail herd behavior in shib right now is textbook inefficiency... but your 8220 short is just fighting liquidation cascades, that's asymmetric risk lmao

You are right, retail investors love to herd and send themselves to death. --- How long can the 8220 short position last? It feels like the main force is still accumulating. --- This wave of SHIB is really a leek harvesting field; those who watch the market every day will get cut. --- Setting stop-losses properly can really save lives; just look at those all-in brothers. --- For coins with no action from the main force, having more retail investors is pointless; this logic is correct. --- Staring at the market every day only accelerates losses; understanding this is the first step to getting started. --- Honestly, the ones who survive in the end are not the frequent traders. --- SHIB is now a blood pool for retail investors; I am also waiting for signals that the main force is building a position.

The main force hasn't moved yet, but everyone is following the trend first. Isn't this courting death? Waiting here with short positions buried, there's no rush. Watching people rush in because there are many, sooner or later they'll pay the tuition fee.

This phrase "Who can survive until the end" is interesting, but from a data perspective, the average holding period of retail investors is actually not as short as imagined.
