#BTC# From Get Liquidated to ETH Frenzy: The Contrarians Become Dust of the Market
The recent surge in ETH has left the shorts completely wiped out! The backend news is buzzing with questions like "Has ETH gone crazy? How did the shorts collapse so badly?" — the answer is quite heartbreaking: it's not just bad luck, but a failure to keep up with the thinking, as their understanding has been ground down by the market! Today, let's dissect this "killing field" and see how those big bullish candles turned a group of "smart people" into cannon fodder!
1. The "stress response" left by the bear market has become a death knell for the bears.
"Just a 10% rise in two days? It’s definitely going to crash! Short it!" - The shadow of the crash hasn’t faded yet, and the instinctive reaction has emerged first.
"3000 is the ceiling! It absolutely won't break!" — Wake up, the market has already changed! When a bull market comes, the price center has long been pushed upwards. Are you still holding onto last year's 'iron ceiling' as truth? It's like using an old map to find a new route; it's a miracle if the ship doesn't sink!
Once the gears of a bull market start turning, the chips are tightly held in hand, and funds surge in like a tide, pushing the price range up to new heights. Why measure the current market with the yardstick of a bear market? This is not analysis; it's digging a pit for oneself!
2. Key Point Hunting Ground: The main force loves to focus on the stubborn bears.
"3000 is a strong resistance! All short orders are placed, guaranteed profit!" — This is not an opportunity, it is clearly a trap set by the main force. Just waiting for the shorts to gather here, then a big bullish candle will directly pierce through, and the "fireworks" of getting liquidated will illuminate the entire market!
"Is the funding rate soaring making you think the bulls can't hold on?" - How naive! In a bull market, a high funding rate is more like an entry fee for accumulating positions. Do you think the bulls are "stubbornly bearing the interest"? They are afraid of missing out and willingly pay to get on board. Always thinking that a high funding rate can crush the bull market? In the end, it will only be the short sellers' accounts that get crushed.
Taking the initiative to "ambush" at critical points is essentially handing the scythe to the main forces. High fees? That's just the bull market engine roaring, not a signal to stall!
3. ETH has long been upgraded to a "super asset," but the shorts are still viewing it with an outdated perspective.
The compliance gateway has opened: the pass for institutions to enter (ETF) has been issued! The giants of Wall Street are waiting with their mouths open to swallow ETH. Do you think the "good news has run out"? Wrong, this is just the opening whistle for the institutional feast!
The heart of DeFi is beating: Gas fees are rising? That's the on-chain demand surging! The DeFi engine is revving up, and ETH is its indispensable "super fuel"; it can't operate without it.
The hot cake of making money while lying down: a steady return of 4%-5%, which is barely comparable to the meager bank interest—For institutions, ETH has already become a premium asset that lays golden eggs.
Still mumbling "Isn't it just a bigger public chain?" Open your eyes and take a look! ETH is now a compliant, income-generating, strategically essential asset with hard demand, and institutional money is pouring in heavily; it's no longer what it used to be!
Why did the shorts collapse so badly? It's really not due to a lack of technical ability.
Bear market mentality hasn't switched: thinking of shorting whenever there's a rise, and thinking of averaging down during a pullback? Going against the trend in a bull market is like swimming against a flood; you'll eventually get swept away.
Underestimating the strength of the "regular army": thought it was retail investors playing around? ETH is now flying with the wings of institutions, and those who want to block the way are simply not enough to watch.
Always thinking about getting rich against the trend: Do you think you can go against the trend? When the wheels of the trend roll over, no one will remember how many went against it.
The last piece of solid advice: The most dangerous illusion in a bull market is "I think it should drop now."
Remember: The market never turns around just because "you think" so.
Those who can truly benefit are those who ride the trend and follow the bull.
Don't always think about seizing every "opportunity" during a pullback; be careful of being directly hit by the wave of the trend onto the beach.
Rather than hoping for a "crash" on the edge of being Get Liquidated, it's better to recognize the reality: standing in the right position and following the money is how you can earn from this market trend. Going against the trend? In the end, you will only be taught a lesson by the market!
