XMR's current rally went from 420 to 800, an increase of nearly 87%, making it a dark horse coin at the beginning of the year. But this upward momentum is likely to come to an end—leverage longs have been almost completely cleared out, and shorts can't hold on anymore. The next move is probably a pullback.

Honestly, this coin itself doesn't have much real-world application support; just look at ZEC's fate. In the end, it will return to its proper position—don't expect it to keep rising forever.

The ups and downs in the crypto market are normal, there's nothing to panic about. The key is to have your own judgment criteria, focus on the markets you understand, and avoid blindly following the trend. Want to survive longer? First, you need to stay alive; managing risk is more important than anything else.

87% increase is awesome, but look at how the bulls are doing now, almost no one is taking the bait anymore. ZEC is a lesson from the past; privacy coins ultimately need to return to rational valuation. Leverage has exploded wave after wave, guys who want to buy the dip, wake up. Really, surviving is more valuable than anything else, don’t think about getting rich overnight. After the bulls are cleared out, even shorting can't hold, and the real test begins. If you understand, take it; if you don’t, then stay away. Don’t chase the high on this thing.

87% gains sound great, but XMR is really not as solid as it seems The correction can't be withstanded at all, most leverage has been cleared, and it will continue to fall What’s the use of privacy coins? You still need something real I’ve been saying not to touch coins without fundamentals, and now it’s too late to regret Poor risk management, no matter how good the market is, it’s all in vain. This is a painful lesson Stick to your own strategy, others’ FOMO has nothing to do with me Actually, this correction is also a good thing, a shakeout, normal operation Only those who understand dare to move, if you don’t understand, don’t operate blindly. This is the first lesson to survive

An 87% increase is indeed impressive, but now the bagholders need to wake up. Can't even short anymore? That means everyone is tired, and anything could happen next. Is the lesson from ZEC not deep enough? Privacy coins this wave... frankly, without applications, it's just a castle in the air. But on the other hand, why panic? Staying alive is the key, and controlling risk is more important than anything.

An 87% increase indeed can't be sustained; everyone feels the pullback is unavoidable. XMR itself isn't very useful, and ZEC's past lessons are right there in front of us. Risk management is truly the number one priority; surviving is the most important. Only those who can hold on are the winners, I don't believe anyone can always hit the exact point. Leverage has blown up a lot of long positions, and now the shorts should admit defeat... This is the cycle of retail investors. Stay alert, don't be blinded by the gains; fundamentals are the true way. Do you have any trapped positions? Are you still holding on stubbornly? It pains me to cut losses. Trade the market you understand; everything else is just noise.

An 87% increase is indeed impressive, but honestly, these privacy coins are just paper tigers if they haven't been implemented in practice. To be honest, XMR is just a story coin; once the story is told, there's no momentum left. Are the long positions still holding after clearing out? Then just wait to be crushed. Don't touch coins you don't understand, really. ZEC is a living textbook; why repeat the same mistakes? Good risk management is more valuable than anything else.

87% increase is indeed impressive, but now everyone buying in are just newbies, right? I'll wait for a pullback before making a move. ZEC is already dead, and XMR won't be much better... Basically, it's just hype. Are the bulls completely wiped out? Then my small position might also be at risk... I need to cut losses quickly. I'm the most cautious when others are excited about gains—that's the secret to lasting longer. This coin has no real use case; it will rise to the sky but also fall back down. To avoid being repeatedly exploited, you need to know when to stop loss. Speaking of which, those who actually make money are the ones who know when to escape. Just listen, don’t really believe in any dark horse coins. Most likely, it will be the next ZEC.
