Looking at Dash, this asset really has little appeal. The current price is less than half of the previous high, and it has only increased threefold from the last bottom. Honestly, this range is a bit awkward. If you compare it to the historical trend of top coins like Filer, Dash would need to reach around $300 to be considered within a reasonable valuation range.

But that's the problem—shorting this type of coin is not cheap. You not only have to pay financing costs but also be constantly prepared for liquidation. The cost-performance ratio is quite absurdly low.

To put it simply, at this stage, whether in a bull or bear market, don't casually leverage to short. There are two reasons. In a bear market, some coins can suddenly surge without a clear top, just like how it's hard to predict the bottom during a decline. In a bull market, it's even more outrageous—any FOMO can push prices up by 30%-50%, and during strong trends, doubling within a day or even a few hours is not surprising.

In this environment, shorting is basically betting against the market, with risks that are ridiculously high. Instead of frequent trading, it's better to think through your strategy carefully before taking action.

Dash, this thing, there's really not much room for operation right now. Shorting also involves paying financing fees, and if you're not careful, you could get liquidated, which is not worth it at all. It's better to just wait and see, and consider the opportunity later.

Dash really isn't exciting, but shorting it is even less exciting... --- The funding fee thing is really a trap, with an absurdly low cost-performance ratio. --- Sudden surge in a bear market, FOMO doubles in a bull market—who can predict that? --- Instead of adding leverage every day, it's better to think carefully before taking action. --- $300? Feels like it's still a long way off... --- In the end, betting against the market is just betting against oneself.

Dash is really a lost cause; the 3x rebound feels like no rebound at all. Short? Don't bother. The liquidation fee and that tiny profit are a blood loss. With the market so crazy, neither bull nor bear can be accurately predicted. Leveraging is just asking for death. I'm just watching now, waiting for a clear signal before taking action.

Dash is indeed uninteresting, but the risk of shorting it is even greater. I've heard too many people get liquidated due to leverage; it's better to play it safe.

Dash 300 dollars? Ha, I don't think so. Shorting this thing is really not worth it; the financing fees will kill you. Honestly, the crypto world is now just a casino. It rises and falls whenever, relying on predictions is basically asking for death. Instead of watching the market every day, it's better to lie back and hold spot assets. I've seen it double in a day, but liquidation can happen in an instant.
