Yesterday, the market overall declined, but ZEC moved against the trend. This bizarre movement clearly reveals the trick—it's obvious that large funds are secretly supporting the market.
Whales are shouting bullish while pulling retail investors in, resulting in a fierce tug-of-war between the bulls and bears at this price level all day. My short position is firmly pinned at the cost basis, and watching the market fluctuations is quite uncomfortable.
But we need to think calmly: how long can this counter-trend support last? From a long-term perspective, my judgment hasn't changed—the trend is still downward, and the support is just delaying the decline. Ultimately, the market will return to fundamentals.
So, to those holding short positions, stay calm and don't make rash moves. Bulls, don't get too arrogant either; there's more to see in the upcoming market. This kind of situation is the easiest to make people regret their decisions—don't be blinded by short-term support.

The big whales' manipulation to support the market—retail investors really need to see through this trick.
Short positions are locked in place, and it’s frustrating to see this countertrend move, but the long-term downward trend cannot be shaken.
There’s definitely a reason behind ZEC’s strange movement; don’t be fooled by the short-term fluctuations.
The support won’t last long; ultimately, the fundamentals will speak for themselves.

ngl, theoretically speaking this whale support pattern only holds up maybe 60-70% of the time statistically... rest is just cope. fundamentally the downtrend correlation doesn't change just because they're propping it up today lol

No matter how fierce the market support is, it can't change the downward trend, and even the whales can't change the fundamentals.

How long can the market be stabilized? Anyway, my short positions are already flat lol
---
This trick by the whales is really annoying, retail investors are just being harvested like leeks
---
In the long run, it still has to fall; short-term market stabilization is just a tempting illusion
---
Hold steady, don't let this strange trend blow your mind
---
Fundamentals determine everything; market stabilization is just a delaying tactic
---
Being caught between bulls and bears, the most uncomfortable ones are actually us retail investors

How long can this manipulation trick fool retail investors? Sooner or later, it will come back to fundamentals.
