By 2026, I am mainly following three trading directions. The first is to continue participating in the rebound of crypto assets, which is still in the deployment stage. The second is to start building short positions on the NASDAQ, which is still being gradually pushed forward. The third is waiting for the right opportunity to take on precious metals, but no action has been taken for now.

From a technical perspective, the recent seven major leading cryptocurrencies have collectively shown weakness, and the K-line trends are not ideal. Considering the current market rhythm, I tend to interpret this wave of market movement as sector rotation in the late stage of a bull market—simply put, the rebound in crypto is more like a dead cat bounce, lacking sustained momentum. This judgment will continue to guide subsequent position management and risk control.

Dead cat bounce is right, this rebound is just to harvest the leeks. I've also set up short positions on the Nasdaq long ago, now just waiting to collect the interest. --- Following three directions simultaneously, quite bold, how much ammunition do you have? --- Don't rush into precious metals now; entering at a high position is risky. Waiting and watching might be better. --- With such weakness in the leading coins, are we really relying on a dead cat bounce to save the market? It's a bit uncertain. --- Talking about participating in the rebound during the layout phase, this logic is a bit convoluted. Are you still adding positions or have you already reached the top? --- I like your risk control approach, but shorting the Nasdaq really requires enduring the pullback. --- I don't think crypto is completely cooling off yet; maybe you're bearish. Keep observing.

The dead cat bounce metaphor is brilliant. Right now, it's a matter of betting on how long the sector rotation can last. This rebound feels very weak. I'm also considering shorting the Nasdaq, just worried that the Federal Reserve might cause some surprises again. I'm optimistic about opportunities in precious metals. Compared to this small rebound in the crypto market, gold is much more reliable. The most difficult part of the deployment stage is the mindset. Always wanting to go all-in, but the ones who get slapped in the face are usually like that. The weakness of leading cryptocurrencies is really noticeable. It feels like large funds are repositioning. Managing these three directions simultaneously is very exhausting and easy to get caught in a trap.

Dead cat bounce... nap warning, this move doesn't seem to have much sustainability. If you're still positioning, you should be more cautious.

The dead cat bounce is a perfect description, and I see it the same way. The current phase is just waiting for a signal to cut the leeks; anyway, all seven major coins are weak, so what sustained momentum can we expect? Shorting the Nasdaq is a wise move, at least the direction is correct. --- Let's wait and see with the precious metals. It's still a bit early to intervene now. Your three-way layout doesn't seem to be going all-in; it looks more like playing with small bets to test the waters, right? --- Honestly, I appreciate the dead cat bounce judgment; I'm just worried that if everyone sees through it, it might reverse. As long as risk control is in place, there’s no need to worry about a crash. --- Wait, you said there's a lack of sustained momentum, so why are you still continuing to layout in crypto? Isn't that contradictory? --- I'm convinced by the Nasdaq short, which is correct if you're betting on a decline in US stocks. But on the crypto side, the dead cat bounce is still being played, which is a bit greedy, haha.
