Refreshing! Absolutely refreshing! Last night ETH surged to 3400, and I immediately shorted it, watching it drop to 3280; ZEC bounced to 450, and I shorted it as planned, raking in 3000U in profit. This feeling is like having received the market script in advance.
ZEC is indeed solid, a 40% rebound doesn't intimidate anyone, the key is whether you're at a crucial position (like 450) waiting for it. BCH is similar, shorting from 600 at a major resistance level to 550, securing a steady 10% profit. None of this is random; it's a script drawn on the candlestick chart days or even longer in advance.
But the more these 'precise timing' victories happen, the more cautious I become. Because I know the market's temperament won't remain unchanged forever. Tonight at midnight, with interest rate cuts + Powell's speech, could very well be the next turning point—good news fully priced in, a pullback for one or two weeks, a 10% drop, that’s all part of the old routine.
So the question arises: when we get used to repeatedly harvesting in the rhythm of "shorting at resistance and going long at support", have we unknowingly placed all our bets on the premise that "the market must follow the technical charts"?
What if one day the candlesticks fail? What if the traders do not play by the rules, or a black swan causes all support and resistance to instantly become ineffective?
This is why, even when I am thriving shorting ETH and ZEC, I still insist on taking some profits to do something that seems "not stimulating enough": searching for "absolute stability" that does not rely on candlesticks and is not afraid of macro events.
Recently, I have been deeply researching @usddio, which is addressing this issue. Its goal is not to let you experience the thrill of "shorting from 3400 to 3280", but to provide a completely different value proposition: maintaining value stability and reliability in any market environment.
#USDD is stable and trustworthy. These five words, in the current context where profits are made by "predicting price points", sound like a wake-up call. It reminds us: technical analysis is a tool, not a belief; swing profits are candy, not a staple. In your asset portfolio, there must be a part that is a cornerstone asset, allowing you to sleep soundly regardless of bull or bear markets, interest rate cuts, or how the candlesticks are drawn.
A true trading master is not a god of predictions, but a master of risk management. They use part of their funds to execute market scripts (for example, shorting ETH at 3400 and shorting ZEC at 450), while also using another part of their funds to allocate assets like USDD that aim to build their own stability mechanism as the ultimate goal, to cope with extreme situations where "the script is torn apart".
The market will always reward sharp hunters, but time will ultimately reward those who understand both offense and how to build fortifications.
When you enjoy yet another victory of "precise shorting", have you ever asked yourself: what is my "Plan B"?
