Yesterday, I opened a short position at the 143 level. To be honest, although it didn't hit the initial target directly, the short-term downward potential did emerge, and I managed the rhythm quite well.
How does the current market look? In simple terms, it's oscillating. Neither the bulls nor the bears have a clear advantage; there's repeated tug-of-war, and no definitive trend has formed. In such a market, it's easy to get trapped. So the strategy is simple—don't hold on stubbornly, respond flexibly with short-term thinking, and switch when necessary.
A few practical ideas:
If the price rebounds to around 142 and encounters resistance, you can continue to short, with the lower target between 135 and 130.
If the price falls and shows signs of stabilization without further downward movement, then consider reversing to a long position and riding the rebound.
Ultimately, in a ranging market, it's all about rhythm. Greed will only lead to traps. Move steadily step by step and observe the next move; this way, you won't be easily shaken out.

The market is just like this, testing your mentality, easy to get slapped repeatedly.
---
142 is indeed a hurdle, betting that it can still break down further.
---
Always say don't be greedy, but still prone to losing rhythm.
---
Switching too frequently between long and short positions, can't even cover the transaction fees.
---
Holding short at 143 looks good so far, but still need to stick to it to avoid a rebound.
---
It's easy to say, but really following the rhythm in real trading is very difficult; emotions can ruin everything.
---
When will this consolidation phase choose a direction? This tug-of-war is really annoying.
---
How to interpret the sign of a trend reversal? That's probably the hardest to judge.
---
SOL doesn't seem to have much presence in this wave, it's not as resilient as ETH.
---
Short-term thinking sounds right, but accounts often go against it.

Oscillating markets are the easiest to get chopped, feels like this 143 short order nailed the timing perfectly.

Haha, another "Rhythm Master." If I had this rhythm, I would have been financially free long ago.
If I really shorted at 143 yesterday, why am I still writing long articles to teach others what to do? Isn't it more profitable to just sit back and earn passively?
Honestly, what I fear most is this kind of "flexible response." Being too flexible ultimately leads to a forced liquidation.
If it rebounds to 142, go short again; if it drops, then go long... Keep messing around like this, and you probably can't afford the transaction fees anymore.

It's another tug-of-war market, so annoying.
Volatility is just a shakeout; I still think the bears are in the lead.
The 143 short position is indeed solid this time, just worried about a rebound trapping people again.
Wait, this guy's right, short-term should be more flexible, not like me, stubbornly stuck in a dead end.

Volatility tests patience the most, this guy is right
---
Will 142 retest? I feel like this rebound is a bit fake
---
Long positions at 143 are held, just waiting to see if it can go down to 135
---
The rhythm is indeed tricky, one misstep and you're caught, I've been shaken out twice already
---
This kind of market is the most annoying, neither bulls nor bears can make money
---
Always look for a sign of a bottom before going long, otherwise it's just pure gambling
---
SOL has been fluctuating like this recently, short-term traders are the ones making the fastest profits
---
Greed is truly a poison in trading, a bloody lesson

The most annoying thing about volatile markets is that it's really easy to get shaken out.

The idea of a volatile market is quite real; I'm the one being tossed back and forth around 142.
