Are technical indicators still useful in the current altcoin market? To be honest, many people ask me this question. My view is that only mainstream coins are worth spending time on analyzing technical indicators. Why? Because small coin pools are shallow, and the inflow and outflow of funds directly affect price movements.

More importantly— you need to think from the perspective of the market makers. Market makers fundamentally do not want retail investors to make money; this is the underlying logic of the trading market. The depth of the pool determines the funding rate level, which directly impacts trading costs.

Trading ultimately is a form of self-cultivation; you need to understand the truth behind the market. Regarding these two coins, DASH and RIVER, I personally believe there will be another surge. If you want to participate, my advice is: consider shorting with small amounts now, but be sure to control your position size. The core principle for retail investors is capital preservation first, profit second. Keep your short positions light and avoid going all-in.
