Looking at a certain project, I really smell a serious bubble. In a situation where it could burst like this, is there any way to take a short position? It shows a similar pattern to the sharp crashes that happened before, but this time I want to approach more cautiously.

The bubble smell is everywhere, but actually catching a short is really difficult lol

It's hard to tell just by looking at the chart, and it's uncertain where it will burst, plus if you can't time it right, it's over

They say history repeats itself, but it always bursts differently, really

Shorts are honestly all about timing, even a slight misstep can cause a break, be careful

Okay, this time I should wait for solid evidence before jumping in

Getting the timing right for the bubble is accurate... but isn't it insanely difficult to really time it perfectly?

It's a project that smells like a bubble, and it's always there, but this time it feels really different, honestly.

You can't just grab a free short, and I think you should watch the leverage exchanges and funding rates.

I've been burned more than once just trusting patterns... this time, be really cautious.

To short a bubble project, it's better to dig into funding round data and analyze the inflation mechanism first.

Just because it smells like a bubble doesn't mean it all bursts... Since 2021, half of the bubbles I've seen are still alive.

Bubble-like projects are always prey... Isn't it really difficult to find the right timing for short entries? LOL

Lately, these patterns really feel like deja vu, but this time it might break differently, so we should be careful.

---

Before taking a short position, I think we should first check the exchange's futures regulations.

---

The bubble is real, but the problem is when it will burst... Many people think they know everything and enter, only to get wiped out.

---

Even if the chart shows a similar pattern, it can change completely depending on how institutions move... Approaching cautiously is the right way.

It looks like yet another thing that's about to blow up.

I understand that it smells like a bubble, but the real issue is when it will burst lol. I've seen people lose money if they miss the short entry timing.

Bro, I advise you to stay calm... In 2018, I watched the bubble like this, and ended up getting trapped and going all-in.

I've stepped on too many mines; shorting this thing is even easier to get liquidated than going long.

It looks like a collapse is coming, but only when you actually act do you realize what being crushed really means.

Better to hold your coins during the holiday; this time I choose to watch from the sidelines.

ngl, seen this movie before—liquidity depth gets razor thin right before the cascade. wouldn't touch it without understanding the mev surface first tbh
