Recently watching PIPPIN's trend, it indeed leaves people speechless. The short signal at 4:30 PM resulted in a complete reversal, leading to a scenario where both longs and shorts get trapped.

Carefully examining this pattern, it doesn't seem like a big surge is imminent in the short term. The 1-hour level fluctuations are indeed a bit uncomfortable, but this is precisely the opportunity for short-term traders. The key question is, how many people can truly hold onto a 1-hour short position? Most of the time, short-term operations can profit regardless of the direction, as long as you know when to cut losses.

This is the core issue. Many people see a big surge and immediately get liquidated, then start blaming others. Honestly, in such market conditions, stop-losses are a must—if a big surge occurs, cut losses immediately; wait until the price has pulled back enough before entering a short position. Is there any problem with this logic?

My personal ideal entry point is around 0.65 to go short, holding for about 2 days. At the same time, when the decline reaches about 30%, consider a small long position to balance the risk.

Finally, I want to say, don’t always talk about large-volume traders. They have bigger capital and different operational space. But for retail traders like us, what we need most is strict stop-loss discipline and clear risk management thinking.
