The recent rebound of ZEC has been quite good, and the old orders I placed earlier finally got filled. I decided to take profits at that time, and it now seems that decision was correct—if I had been greedy and held on, I might have been caught again.

Regarding the future trend, if ZEC can push to the 590-600 range, there will be plenty of shorting opportunities. But the key is to stick to disciplined execution: take profits and exit, rather than trying to capture the entire rally in one go. Such a mindset can easily give back the profits.

BCH is even more interesting. Although the bearish momentum looks strong, the high proportion of short positions at the top actually creates some risks. If you want to short, it's more prudent to wait until it rebounds near the previous high before entering. This position has a higher cost, but the risk-reward ratio can be balanced, and the stop-loss space is clearer. The most difficult part in the market is not predicting the direction, but choosing the right timing and position, especially when emotions are overly involved.

Haha, this wave of ZEC really feels great for bottom fishing, but I still think greed is too easy to backfire on. To be honest, I was also watching the 590 move, but I always felt it was a bit risky—are short sellers really that strong and safe? I agree with the logic of BCH, but execution requires restraint. Dreaming of capturing the entire rally in one go—it's time to wake up. When emotions run too high, that's when it's most dangerous. I've suffered losses from this before.

Haha, this wave of ZEC really makes people exhausted. Greed is truly the poison of trading. Wait, short at 590-600? I feel like this rebound isn't that strong. I need to take a closer look at the candlestick charts before making a decision. That long position stacking at the BCH top... alright, I hear you, but I still think the bottom is the real opportunity. Holding short positions makes it easy to get squeezed. Honestly, the hardest part in the market isn't really predicting the direction, but controlling that greedy hand of yours. Another reminder to stop-loss. This market has really taught us many lessons.

Cashing out is still a safe move; greed just doesn't work at all. Really? Sometimes knowing when to exit is even harder than predicting price increases or decreases. Wait, can the 590-600 range really push higher? I need to check the chart again. There are so many short positions at the BCH top... it's a bit risky. No wonder you said to wait until near the previous high before acting. Good discipline in execution is important. I always mess up here—make a profit and want to take another bite, but end up losing everything. I learned the idea of leveling the profit and loss ratio; it's much cleaner than my chaotic approach. Market sentiment gets overhyped and that's when it's easiest to get caught. I've been caught like that before.

Bro, I've heard this theory so many times that my ears are getting calloused. Still the same old story—easy to understand, hard to practice.

Ha, this is what I often say about greed not being able to handle hot tofu. Taking profits in time has saved me many times. Wait until ZEC reaches that level before taking action. Don't rush; the market can't run away. BCH's short position is over the top this time, which is a bit dangerous. Your approach seems much more stable.

Greed really is a terrible flaw; so many people keep getting repeatedly wiped out because of it. That's right, entering short positions at 590-600 is indeed much safer, and setting stop-losses is easier. By the way, the accumulation of BCH short positions really feels like a contrarian indicator... Taking profits and running is easy to say but hard to do, brother. This ZEC rebound was indeed a good bottom catch.
