This short position strategy at this level needs to be adjusted. Instead of rushing to open a position around 2950, it's better to wait a little longer. The key is to watch when retail traders' second wave of chasing longs will start—once the bullish entry rate shows a second increase, that will be our real shorting opportunity.

Why do I say this? Carefully look at the orders around 2905 to 2910; most of them are naturally placed orders, not driven by major players. When genuine retail traders start FOMO chasing longs again and the bullish entry rate surges, market sentiment will reach a high point. Entering short positions at this time gives us an advantage, and the success rate will be much higher. Instead of blindly bottom-fishing, it's better to patiently wait for such a signal, so risk control can be more effective.

Retail FOMO is really the best shorting signal; we're just waiting for this wave.

Wait, your logic has a bit of a problem. Do we only go short when retail traders are FOMOing in? Isn't that just catching the last wave? --- That's right, 2950 is indeed too aggressive. We still need to wait for that emotional high point to be safe. --- Uh... it feels like betting on when retail traders will chase the long. That risk doesn't seem small either. --- Brilliant, just wait for the moment of a second chase, that's the real sniper point. --- But the problem is, after retail traders FOMO, the market should turn around. Can we really precisely time this point? --- I like this approach. It's much better than blindly pushing at 2950. Patience is key. --- The crucial thing is to watch how the entry rate moves; otherwise, waiting in vain is pointless.

Well, no rush. Wait for retail FOMO to act, then it's the right time.

Hmm... Wait for the second wave before taking action, that way it's much safer. When retail FOMO all in, that's the real shorting opportunity. Don't rush, wait for the signal, controlling risk is the right approach. Buy the dip at 2950? Let's wait and see how retail traders chase. Brilliant, let them get excited first, then we can enter and harvest.

I love this kind of calm analysis; rushing to buy the dip is really a big mistake. I'll support retail FOMO this wave; that's when the real trap happens. Speaking of 2950, it’s not very attractive; it’s better to stay idle and wait for signals. Retail investors should reverse their position as soon as they start chasing longs; this logic makes sense. Well said, don’t go into the muddy waters, wait until the bullish sentiment peaks before jumping in. This time is different; keep an eye on when the bullish sentiment reaches its peak. Those who are patient will finally profit, while the impatient will lose everything.
