Ethereum's recent market trend makes shorting basically a death wish. I've emphasized multiple times—never short at the bottom, as you'll often die without knowing how.
Below 3000 for Ethereum? Purely a false low. Just like when it surges above 4000, it's considered a false high—this logic applies everywhere. Currently, all short positions below 3000 are trapped, and now it's just waiting for the moment of concentrated liquidation.
The market makers have actually given plenty of opportunities. Look at the chart—growth is slow, large bullish candles haven't appeared on a large scale, but they are quietly gathering strength. If you still stubbornly hold short positions at this point, you should be mentally prepared for a decline of 500, 1000, or even 1500 to 2000 points. Often, a rally can multiply the trend.
The movements of Bitcoin and Binance Coin are also confirming this signal. Instead of guessing the price trend in 2026, it's better to survive the current market first.

The short position was completely wiped out. I told you early on not to gamble at the bottom, but no one listens.

Oh wow, someone is stubbornly holding short positions below 3000 again. Isn't that self-torture?

Shorting at the bottom deserves heavy losses; this time you'll truly see what a liquidation wave looks like.

Oh no, this bearish wave is really brutal. A bunch of people are still stubbornly holding on.
If you don't cut losses this time, you'll truly lose everything. Can't you see it's just a buildup phase?
Stop thinking about 2026 all day. Let's survive today first, haha.
I've long seen that the 3000 level is artificially low. Why are there still people going all-in on short positions?
The alarm for liquidation is about to ring. By then, it'll be too late to cry.

ngl the "bottom region" narrative reads like classic survivorship bias... you're essentially asking people to bet against their short positions based on what happened last time, which is like proof of past performance doesn't actually guarantee the future state of the protocol, technically speaking

Bro, those 3000 short sellers are probably kicking themselves now...
Really, shorting at the bottom is just asking for death. We're about to see a big show again.
Waiting to watch the liquidation frenzy. Feels like this wave could reach five digits.

Here comes the harvest again, below 3000 is too low? How can you be so sure?
Quickly close your short positions, buddy, don't wait until liquidation to regret it.
I've heard this set of words too many times, every time claiming to give enough opportunity, but what happens then?

Haha, here comes another round of urging shorts, I've heard this spiel over ten times.
Oh my, brothers still holding short positions, you really can't hold on anymore.
Below 3000 will directly explode; this time it's mainly a gamble on how the market makers are feeling.

I've been saying not to hold short positions stubbornly at the bottom. Now those trapped are all going to regret it.
