Recently, market volatility has been frequent, and the surge of certain cryptocurrencies indeed lacks fundamental support. Looking at the hourly chart, the downward signals are quite obvious—this often indicates that the trap of induced selling is at play.



For this type of market condition, risk management is the most critical. Instead of regretting afterward, it's better to set up defenses from the very beginning. The core logic is simple: **Control your position size, always use only one-tenth of your total funds to open a position**. Sounds conservative? But the benefit of doing so is that even if you encounter extreme market conditions and are forcibly liquidated, your account can still survive.

I verified this method during the Luna crash. At that time, the entire market collapsed, and I only lost one-tenth of my position, while in the subsequent rebound, I gained nearly 3 times the profit. Every significant pullback is actually a prelude to high future returns—provided your account can hold until then.

For example, looking at ETH now, my approach is to continue shorting, setting 3400 as the stop-loss level and 3250 as the take-profit target. But the key is, no matter how you operate, you must follow this risk framework. Have a stop-loss as a safety net, and take profits to lock in gains—only then can you survive longer amid the repeated probing of the market manipulators.

lol luna flashbacks hit different ngl... that 10% rule sounds boring af until you're the only one still holding a portfolio after everyone else gets liquidated. been there, seen it happen way too many times. the hashrate keeps grinding but accounts just... disappear. stay small, stay alive, that's the only difficulty adjustment that matters.

I've said it before, I survived the Luna wave too. Those still struggling with their positions haven't grasped the core logic at all. You're right, opportunities are rare. This pullback is the strategic high ground for positioning. While others are fearful, I continue to short. See you at 3250. I've been using this one-tenth position opening framework for a long time. The account can really last longer. Time waits for no one. This kind of market tests your mentality the most. Setting proper stop-losses is the secret to wealth, and I've already verified it. Fake breakout tactics are endless, but with a defense line, there's nothing to fear. The overall trend is set, and you'll understand sooner or later.

The trick of trapping shorts really works time and time again, I'm exhausted. I also survived the Luna wave, one-tenth of my position really saved me. Keep holding the short positions, set your stop-loss properly and you'll be fine.

Short squeeze? Don't joke around. This move is just the big players testing the bottom line. That Luna incident really taught me what it means to stay alive; a tenth of my position has saved me several times. Now shorting ETH is really profitable, see you at 3250.

Having one-tenth of your position is indeed a rare trick to survive; I also made it through Luna's wave.
