RIVER's recent surge before unlocking was indeed fierce, and after completing the short squeeze, there's still a significant possibility of being squeezed downward with -2% fees.

If everyone is convinced that the 40 level will definitely lead to a stop-loss, and it can't rise regardless, then collective bottom-fishing might actually become the best fuel—this is the strange nature of the market.

My advice is to wait for clear acceleration signals before entering the market; don't rush to buy in. I only went short after FHE pulled back from its high today, and I haven't even dared to breathe a sigh of relief. The maximum floating profit with 3x isolated margin has broken 1%, and now it's only over 30. This is the temperament of altcoins—they simply don't play by reason.

Don't think that being far from the liquidation price means you can let your guard down. Remember the huge loss lesson from Ant's position, and look at the previous waves of lazy, myx, and coai—who didn't get squeezed to death back then? History keeps repeating, but the retail traders always forget.

The cruelty of the market lies here—your stop-loss isn't protection; it might actually become the hunter's target.

This wave of RIVER is indeed fierce, but it's really hard to say after unlocking. I'm still on the sidelines watching. Those who shout about 40 stop-losses every day might actually become the best bottom-fishers and bagholders; the market is so devilish. Me too, my short position was once floating with a profit of hundreds of points, now it’s shrunk significantly. Altcoins are just unreasonable. Stop-loss is a joke; claiming to protect is just a cover. It’s like hanging a target for hunters. Don’t be fooled by the distant liquidation; lessons from Ant Wallet, Sloth, and others are still fresh, and it’s easy to fall. Wait until clear acceleration signals appear before taking action; entering now is too risky. That day, my short on FHE is also floating with a loss, and I’m really losing my mind. Collective bearishness is actually the most dangerous; thinking in reverse can be stimulating. Altcoins are just this temper; there’s no discipline at all. History repeats itself too often, but the retail investors never learn their lessons.

Unrealized gains went from a few percent to over 30. This is how meme coins teach me a lesson—there's no room for negotiation.

Damn, this relentless squeeze just keeps going, and my short positions have been drained like a vampire.

Damn, RIVER's squeezing technique this time is really amazing. The unrealized gains vanished instantly, and I'm a bit overwhelmed right now.

Data shows it's the same routine again, unrealized gains fall back, which is simply standard operation. Wait a bit longer, I've observed the pattern—collective bearishness is actually the most dangerous. Stop-loss is like delivering a meal to the hunter; this mechanism should have been changed long ago. Altcoins don't play by the rules at all; patience is the only solution. No one can survive before the historical lows arrive; that wave in the Ant wallet was a textbook-level squeeze.
