Bitcoin and Ethereum fluctuate within a mini range all day—less than 1% ups and downs. In 24 hours, mainstream coins only saw four million in short positions, while the altcoin market directly exploded with six million.

In this sideways pattern, altcoins actually have the chance to continue rising, shake out retail investors, and blow up short positions. By comparison, mainstream coins have less room for maneuver. When market disagreements become prominent, patience is the biggest test. Every fluctuation hides opportunities; the key is to choose a reliable direction and stand firm.

BTC0.02%

ETH0.23%

Shanzhai is really scamming people this time. Mainstream coins are too boring; sideways trading is the biggest test of patience. --- BTC and ETH haven't moved, but the altcoins have exploded with six million in shorts. This show is getting a bit intense. --- Patience? Easy to say. Watching others make money is the biggest test of a person, and the key is to stand on the right side. --- Mainstream coins have limited room for operation, I'll be straightforward—it's a bit boring. --- Every fluctuation being an opportunity is a bit of a cliché, but the tactic of pumping and then dumping retail investors has never stopped.

This wave of altcoins directly exploded to six million, while mainstream coins are still sleeping. The gap is incredible. Wait, do you really dare to play with altcoins in this sideways market? I really don't quite understand. Patience? Come on, the patience in this market is just the time to cut leeks. And what reliable direction is there? Someone always says that, but in the end? Mainstream coins can at least sleep well, but altcoins are truly over the top. If a mere ten million short positions can excite you this much, fine, fine. Honestly, it's still a gamble on luck—whoever is on the right side makes money, and whoever is on the wrong side goes bankrupt. With this wave of altcoin surges, who will be cut in the next round? A cyclical drama.

Even during sideways trading, shorts can explode to 6 million. This wave in the altcoins is really crazy. Mainstream coins are all sleeping; what am I still waiting for? Patience? Bro, this wave isn't about patience at all; the opportunity is right in front of us. Retail investors are being cut again—it's a cyclical thing. Choose the right direction to make money; choose the wrong direction to end up in the hospital. It's that simple. A volatility of less than 1% can still be so explosive; the underlying is going crazy. Are the altcoins about to take off, or is another round of harvesting starting? Is this what they call an opportunity? Feels like everyone is risking their necks on the edge of a knife.

After such a long sideways movement, mainstream coins are really not that interesting. It's still more comfortable to focus on the opportunities created by altcoins exploding.
