Looking at the recent RIVER market trend, my judgment is opposite to that of most people. When the price was above $17 with overwhelming popularity and everyone was chasing the rally, I chose to go short instead.
How do I analyze the technicals? It's actually quite clear:
First, on the 1-hour chart, there were two consecutive attempts to push above around $17.8 but both failed to hold, indicating that the bulls are clearly losing strength. This double top resistance is a very obvious reversal signal in the short term.
Second, the volume then increased as the price broke below the MA7 and MA25 moving averages, confirming a trend reversal. Once such a technical pattern appears, it’s probabilistically wise to respect it.
Currently, I hold a stable short position with 5x leverage, and the unrealized profit has already reached over 152%. Trading, in essence, is not gambling but about finding the side with the highest probability amid uncertainty. The take-profit target is initially set at the 4.0 level, planning to hold for a medium-term trend.
Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts—do you think RIVER will drop to single digits this wave? Share your ideas in the comments.

Double tops are indeed a good signal, but during the 17-dollar wave, there were too many people FOMOing in. In such situations, reverse trading often easily leads to pitfalls.
This guy is really bold, with a 152% unrealized profit and still not taking profit? Holding short positions mid-term carries quite a bit of risk, right?
4 dollars seems too optimistic; I’d rather securely lock in profits between 8-10.
Moving average divergence is indeed classic, but I don’t know if it will V-reverse. This coin is really good at deceiving people.
Are short positions this comfortable? Why do I always end up doing reverse arbitrage?

Let me put it this way, double tops are indeed a signal, but I also saw the move at 17 yuan. At that time, the group was full of voices saying "push for another wave," and you just shorted and went in directly? You really have guts. A 152% floating profit is indeed impressive, but isn't taking profit at 4 yuan a bit greedy?

Damn, the double top really didn't hold. This wave of short positions has a clear strategy. I need to reflect on my own chasing gains mindset.
Really hit single digits? Hard to say, but breaking the moving average signal is too strong. The 152 profit says it all.

Bro, this move is really fierce. You’re holding onto a 152% unrealized profit tightly. I admire your guts.

Wow, the profit rate on this short position is incredible. I didn't see the double top coming. I need to learn from your recent trading strategy.
