Short position strategy practical points summary: First, never open a position blindly. Before any rebound selling pressure appears, you must wait for clear confirmation signals before entering the market; rushing to short often leads to pitfalls.

In actual operation, if the market hits the first resistance level, I consider using small hedge short positions to manage risk, but these defensive orders are operated independently. In other scenarios, at this stage, I tend to believe this is a typical bull trap—after attracting bullish funds, it may directly surge to the 70,000 integer level.

The key is to distinguish whether the market is truly breaking through or just a false breakout. Confirmation is better than reaction speed, which can greatly reduce the risk of being trapped.

Entering a short position without confirmation signals is just giving money to the market makers. Wait, is the 70,000 level reliable? Feels like the same old trick again. Instead of blindly shorting, it's better to see whether it's a true break or a false breakout first. Small-scale hedging sounds safe, but is this rebound really just a trap? Confirmation > speed, this is the most valuable part; everything else is just empty talk. Last time I chased a short, I lost quite a bit; patience and waiting for signals are truly necessary. The idea of a bull market trap might be a bit overly cautious. Do we still have to wait for 70,000?

Confirmation signals are really key; blindly shorting is just giving away money. Before chasing a short, make sure to see clearly; don't be lured into buying high and then getting cut. The 70,000 level is indeed prone to repeated fluctuations; patience and waiting is more profitable than reacting quickly. Small-scale hedging defense is okay, but it must be viewed independently; don't mix it together. Distinguish clearly between true breakdowns and false breakouts; otherwise, you'll get trapped tightly. There are many traps in this bull market; I've seen too many routines of accumulation followed by a rise. Confirmation > reaction speed, this statement is spot on.

Waiting for signals to appear before holding on stubbornly—this trick has long been crushed. Is the breakout really so old that it’s hard to tell? No wonder you're always the bag holder. Small-scale hedging sounds sophisticated, but it still can't escape the 70,000 surge trap. Is this another bull market trap theory? Feels like it's always the same story. Confirming is better than rushing, but I'm just worried that by the time confirmation comes, it’s already taking off.

That's right, confirming signals are really much more important than speed, otherwise you're just caught in a trap. Wait, is the 70,000 level reliable? It feels like another trap to lure more buyers in. Small-scale hedging is still stable, but I'm worried that insufficient psychological preparation might lead to a full position being taken too quickly. Is it really so hard to distinguish between a true breakdown and a false breakout? Are there any particularly effective indicators? Bull market traps are hard to defend against; they look like a good short but end up getting crushed. It's better to wait for confirmation than to rush in speed; this saying runs deep.
