#数字资产市场动态 on the gainers list to short? Then get ready for a bloodbath.



Honestly, this place is a graveyard for contract traders, especially those coins that are surging the most. Want to know why? It’s actually very simple.

First, the sentiment is crazy. Coins on the gainers list are mostly driven up by FOMO, and once buying pressure starts, it’s impossible to stop. There’s no chance for shorts; as the price skyrockets, you can’t act, only watch your account bleed.

Second, the market cap is too small. With low circulating supply, prices are easily manipulated by players. Major players push at will, and the whole market follows suit, artificially boosting the price, turning shorts into targets. Your stop-loss can’t withstand such violent surges.

Third, the volatility is insane. What looks like a correction is just a shakeout; the market can reverse instantly, fake breakouts can trap you in, leading to continuous losses. Liquidity is terrible, slippage is outrageously high.

And then there’s the funding rate issue. When everyone starts shorting, the rate skyrockets. You have to endure psychological pressure while watching hourly fees eat into your profits. The longer you hold your position, the more terrifying the costs become, feeling like you’re being continuously "sucked blood."

The last deadly point: catching the top is a false proposition. Reversals in extreme markets are often much more brutal than expected. When prices go crazy, all fundamental logic fails. The risk of shorting is maximized.

What’s the smart approach? Stay away from the gainers list. Missing a wave isn’t a failure; surviving is victory. Focus on mainstream coins with solid liquidity and clear trends—$BTC, $ETH, $XMR, $DASH, and so on, rather than chasing small coins every day.

In the crypto world, it’s never about who has the sharpest eyes, but who can survive the longest. Stay rational, be patient, and only act when the time is right. That’s the right way.
BTC-0.18%
ETH-0.15%
DASH-14.7%

Oh wow, this is the legendary "Gainers Garden"... Watching those little flowers bloom wildly, only to wither away the moment you turn around—what a bloody lesson. Living long > dying fast, simple and straightforward but true, I admit.

Wow, that's a harsh statement. Short sellers on the gainers list are indeed doing the work of giving away money.

Haha, indeed, shorting the top gainers is like seeking death, and the fee rate can drain you dry. --- When the main force pushes up, stop-losses are useless, they are not even on the same level. --- Instead of chasing these small coins every day, it's better to hold onto BTC and survive; only by staying alive can you make money. --- Last year, I saw a few friends get caught shorting at the top gainers, and they are still clearing out their positions. --- The crazy surge in funding rates is insane, it feels like being sucked by a vampire machine every hour, losing so much that it makes you doubt life. --- Poor liquidity is a big trap; a single slippage can invalidate your stop-loss, and you can't react in time. --- Honestly, those who can survive and walk out of the crypto world are the real winners, not necessarily those who make the most money. --- People trying to catch the top always think they are the next, but it usually ends in the same miserable way.

That was too harsh, I’ve been burned on the top gainers list... Really, once is enough.
