The next 48 hours in the market are about to unfold a "mutual struggle" show—
Tomorrow, the Bank of Japan is almost certain to raise interest rates, and the global arbitrage traders will have to cut their positions. High-risk assets will drop to their knees.
Tonight, when the US CPI data is released, there are two possible outcomes:
Prices are low? Then the expectation of rate cuts is revived, the dollar depreciates, and funds rush into high-yield assets.
Prices are still high? The rate cut dream is gone, the dollar will harden, and the crypto market will take a hit again.
In short, short whenever there's a rally—no matter which scenario unfolds, shorting won't cause big losses.
Here's a golden rule: don't be greedy.
The recent volatility can leave people stunned, accounts shifting from "excited" to "shocked" in an instant, turning jokes into tears😂
Keep your positions light, weather this wave of turbulence, and the subsequent market will be worth participating in. Hold on, don't rush.

Oh no, this round is really tough, feeling like being hit from both sides, everyone needs to be a bit cautious.
---
As soon as the CPI data is released, you know the outcome. Instead of betting on a rebound and shorting, I think it's better to reduce positions to protect oneself.
---
Don't even talk about shorting on rebounds. That's what I thought last time, and I'm still eating dirt.
---
Being lightly positioned is so true. These days, I mostly watch the show and don't make moves, which feels more comfortable than anything.
---
When the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan act simultaneously, retail investors are like fragile tofu caught in the middle, unable to withstand a few waves.
---
Honestly, you can believe in the dream of rate cuts, but don't trust it too much. Defense always comes first; making money is a later matter.
---
I just want to ask, can anyone really make stable profits in this kind of market? It feels like a scam.

Shorting at the top; I'm tired of this routine. Still, it depends on whether the CPI will give us some face.

Laughing to death, it's another battle of left and right, my wallet is also performing "left and right battle"
Japan raises interest rates, US CPI, and we retail investors are just waiting to be caught in the sandwich
Short at the high? Bro, your words are as confident as my decision yesterday, and as a result, my account went into shock
Light position, light position, how many times have I said it, it's just itchy hands
These past few days really can make a person look eighty years old
Don't be greedy for this iron law, I guess I have to lose all my money before I understand it

Long and short? I'm the one caught in the middle getting beaten up.
Raising interest rates and CPI, these two trump cards take turns to cut, my position is already scheduled for ICU.
Going short on rallies sounds easy, but the problem is I’m holding a bunch of trapped high-position trash.
Don’t be greedy—this sounds nice, but greed is that guy, cutting losses is the real pain.
First lesson in a bear market survival guide: learn to watch your account with a smile.
After this wave of volatility, the retail investors need to upgrade again. I’m just here in the audience clapping.
Where is the promised innovative regulatory framework? Why does the market still look like this?
In 48 hours, life or death will be decided. I just want to hold a small position and watch the show lying down.

Damn, this wave of market movement is really Schrödinger's rise and fall. The Bank of Japan and CPI are taking turns making moves, and we're just waiting to be harvested.
