People often notice that I share more short setups than long setups. The funny thing is I actually prefer longing. The reason I share more shorts is simple: longing low-liquidity coins is much harder. When too many traders enter a long at the same level with significant size, it’s often relatively easy for market makers to push the price down, trigger stop-losses, and only then let it move higher. That’s why so many “perfect” long entries fail before eventually working. Shorts behave differently. Manipulation still exists, but it has practical limits. If you short from an excellent entry, the market often needs a pullback before it can continue higher. If price keeps squeezing higher instead, someone has to absorb that cost. Liquidity, positioning, and volume all matter. This perspective comes from my own experience working on liquidity for more than 50 crypto projects. Some of you may have even traded against liquidity managed by my team on Binance back in 2021. That’s why my advice for individual traders is different from what I personally share. If you’re trading your own account, focus more on longs especially on high-liquidity, top-ranked coins. You don’t need to chase every pump. Wait patiently for quality altcoins to correct, buy the pullback, take your 10–20%, and repeat. Trading isn’t about forcing opportunities. It’s about waiting until the odds are clearly in your favor.
