HIPPO recently faced significant pressure. After a rapid surge, short-term momentum began to weaken, and selling pressure was concentrated. A seasoned trader positioned a short at 0.0012, quickly took profits, and made a small gain.
This actually reflects a common feeling among many traders — only after experiencing several complete cycles do you dare to calmly say, "It's actually just like that."
What the outside world sees are your win rate, judgment accuracy, and sometimes even luck. But few are willing to consider how much impulse control you exercised during those unseen moments, and how many difficult choices you made — holding cash, cutting losses, bottom-fishing and getting caught... These are all the costs of growth.
The market is always changing, but the patterns repeat. Continuously tracking the movements of assets like PTB, ZBT, ONT, PLAY, and observing their short-term momentum and support levels might help you find the next opportunity.

It's another case of being bottom-fished again and again. While short sellers profit, I end up buying at the top... I wish I could have that level of self-control too.

It's the same old story: talking about cultivation when making money, changing tune when losing money.
0.0012 short position dares to boast? Let's wait and see.
Sounds good, but it's actually just good luck catching the decline. Don't mistake probability for philosophy.
Really, every time emphasizing cycle theory, pattern repetition... but next time the market still proves them wrong.
As for HIPPO, I've already passed on it; thematic coins are too虚.

Another wave of rug pulls, so annoying to watch
Shorting is satisfying, but I'm just afraid of a reverse crash in the next second
If you haven't experienced two or three complete cycles, you don't deserve to say you can trade
The key is restraint, it's really too difficult. I always lose to my own greed
How's the PTB project doing lately? Have you followed it?

Tsk, it's the same old narrative of "I'm very restrained." To be honest, I've seen too many people cut their losses at 0.0012 and then watch it take off again. The key is that they never talk about this part. The true trading mindset is to place orders like a market maker during boring sideways trading, waiting for impatient retail investors to provide liquidity. The support level on PTB is indeed worth a quick look, but don't be fooled by the momentum.

It's another rapid rise and fall; this routine has been played for two years and it's still the same old trick.
It's politely called "restraining trading desires," but frankly, it's just that I've been cut too many times and learned my lesson.
That short position at 0.0012 was really sweet, but I'm more interested in where the next HIPPO is.
