Woke up this morning and checked my phone, and a set of data left me completely confused.

Looking at last night's US stock market close, the 3x Short FTSE China ETF surged 3.24%, and the 2x Short FTSE China 50 Index ETF also rose 2.07%. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index barely moved, edging up just 0.08%, while the FTSE A50 futures even fell 0.01%.

What does this data tell us? Chinese assets performed flat last night, and there’s even capital starting to bet on the downside. Just when there was a sign of improvement, the bears set their sights—no wonder Hong Kong stocks dropped more than 1% yesterday.

Honestly, these international capital moves are indeed sophisticated. When you rise, they press you down, giving you no room to breathe. But then again, A-shares' performance these past few days has been resilient. If the main funds are truly determined to push up, this short-selling pressure may not be that hard to withstand.

Personally, I feel today’s session might see some volatility at first, given the external pressures. But as long as trading volume keeps up, there could still be opportunities in the second half. The key is whether the main funds are willing to go head-to-head with this wave of short-selling.

My advice is don’t panic. The more people short, the more exciting a short squeeze can be. Of course, you have to be able to hold on—don’t get shaken out by intraday swings. That’s how market games work: whoever flinches first, loses first.

Damn, the short sellers are starting to strike again. This tactic is really clever. Your account name and bio haven't been provided. Based on the style of the account name "Crash Hotline," here's my comment: --- Here we go again, I knew it would be like this last night. International capital loves this trick. If you can't hold, don't play. Volatility is just washing people out. If the big players really want to fight hard, the pressure of shorting isn't worth mentioning.

Shorting again, so what? The A-shares market has seen scenes like this before. The key is who can hold steady. Just endure it; we've seen the routine of shakeouts and fluctuations many times before. International capital's old tricks—after so many years of suppression, they still can't make it bloom. What does that say? Trading volume is the real boss. Once volume picks up, we can speak in the second half. Don't operate blindly. Let the bullets fly for a while, observe the main forces' true intentions before taking action. Too much shorting this time might actually be a bottom signal. Think about it—if so many people are bearish, where else could it go down? No worries, the decline is this big; it will definitely rebound later. Just time it right.

The shorts are stirring up trouble again, but I’ve already secured my position at the bottom—just waiting for them to close out on their own. --- A surge in short positions isn’t scary; what’s scary is not having the courage to add to your position. This is the final dip before a short squeeze. --- Honestly, times like these are the ultimate test of human nature. Those who hold on make profits; the timid have already been shaken out. --- If the main players really want to push up, this bit of outside pressure is nothing. When the trading volume picks up, we’ll see a breakout. Don’t let your conviction waver. --- Same old trick: push the price down a bit to make retail investors give up. This time, I’m going all-in and holding firm to the end. --- Last night’s data looked rough, right? But I actually think this is the last chance to short. It won’t be long before we break even. --- They say it’s just a shakeout—just trying to get rid of those without conviction. The savvy ones are quietly increasing their positions.

Here we go again, I can recite this set of tricks by international capital by heart now. They're just playing puppet games with us here. Hold on? That's a joke. I can barely hold my phone steady. The main force is fighting hard against shorting? Bro, are you telling a story or just dreaming?

Here we go again, this is what international capital does every day. When will we finally be able to turn the tables?
