I almost had a heart attack checking the charts when I woke up this morning—BCH shot straight up to 595. This short position is already floating a loss of several thousand USDT, and the account is barely holding on without getting liquidated, but it feels completely hopeless.
I originally thought BTC would rise today and BCH would follow, so I ended up impulsively opening a short. Now I'm stuck in a dilemma—cutting my losses hurts, but holding on makes me worry the price will keep going up. Truly a no-win situation.
Sometimes the market just slaps you in the face; the correlated moves you expect don’t play out by the book at all.

Oh my goodness, this wave directly reversed. I told you not to short, now it's all gone wrong, losing thousands of dollars.

Oh man, this BCH move is really insane. My short position keeps getting squeezed, and my mindset is about to collapse.

honestly analyzing the mempool—if you'd just run the numbers on your entry mechanics, this whole liquidation risk becomes demonstrably predictable. sub-optimal positioning tbh

From the moment I impulsively opened a short position, I should've accepted my fate—this BCH move is really something else.

Same old trick, if you can't predict BTC's moves, BCH is useless too, that's just the daily life of us with clumsy hands.
---
Are short positions really that enjoyable? Haha, I got beaten up by the market like that last time too.
---
595 is just insane, looks like I have to accept the loss.
---
Stuck between a rock and a hard place—just one word: endure. I'm numb from enduring.
---
This is why I quit, the market just doesn't make any sense.
---
Still holding with a floating loss of several thousand, that's some real guts.
---
No correlation at all, the market just loves to go against you.
---
The moment you cut your losses hurts the most, but liquidation hurts even more, you know?
---
Now BCH is playing this game too, should've seen it coming.
---
If it were me, I'd just hold on with my eyes closed, since it’s already like this.
