If you’re still opening 15x shorts without respecting momentum, stop now.
A lot of traders learn this the expensive way. You see a chart that “looks heavy,” take the short, and then one sharp move wipes weeks of progress. Leverage turns a small misread into a $5K lesson real fast.
Case in point: a recent $AVAX short opened with lower conviction but still at 15x. Stop loss was set at 6.51, yet the move went the other way and the position closed at -5,109.38 USDT while price pushed +4.10%. Volume on the trade? Around 214.6k. That’s the kind of squeeze that reminds you how quickly sentiment flips.
What’s interesting is how often this happens during broader strength in majors like $BTC and $ETH . We’ve seen similar setups before: traders fading momentum on strong L1 narratives, only to get run over by a short squeeze when liquidity steps in. $AVAX has done this more than once in previous cycles.
So here’s the real question: when momentum is building on an L1 like $AVAX , do you fade the move early or wait for confirmation before taking the short?
