DUSK's recent rally is indeed fierce, jumping directly from 0.037 to 0.161 with hardly any significant pullback in between, making people feel anxious. Some say this is a sign of continued breakout, but I see it differently—such a rapid increase makes me more cautious.

Honestly, I don't believe it can keep rising effortlessly. So I decided to take a contrarian approach and opened a short position at 0.161 with a 32,000 USDT stake. The liquidation line is set at 0.18, which means I’ve given it enough room to rise, but if it can't push back up, the risk is there.

Many people think this is gambling, maybe so. But after DUSK has been rising for so long, there should be a breather technically. I just want to see whether, at this critical price point, the market will choose to continue pushing or start to loosen. If it gets liquidated, so be it—that's the price of leverage trading.

DUSK-0,2%

0.037 to 0.161, a more than fourfold increase, and there hasn't been a proper pullback? How shallow is this liquidity depth... Do people really believe this is a normal rise?

Short position at 0.161? Bro, are you betting on the market pulling back? It feels a bit aggressive.

Haha, this guy is really addicted. Betting 32,000 in reverse to gamble on a drop? I think this is a classic case of the "the more it rises, the more you want to short" syndrome.

I bet this guy is going to be trapped, haha. The 0.18 liquidation line is really a bit tight.

I just said this guy has really big guts, opening a short at 0.161? I think this wave of DUSK still has room to go up, your short position might get roasted haha

Haha, this guy is really bold, betting 32k on this position. I'm curious to see who gets liquidated in the end.

Wow, this guy's really bold. Going short against the trend directly, I have to say, his mindset must be incredibly tough.

Haha, this guy's really bold. Sitting at 32k directly in this position, I can tell he's a tough player. If you ask me, the more it rises sharply, the more cautious you should be. DUSK's recent surge is indeed a bit outrageous, climbing all the way up without giving anyone a chance to breathe. But as for shorting... I still think the risk is too high. When market sentiment is this hot, it's often the easiest time to get cut by a reverse move. Let's see how it develops later. If I get liquidated, I'll just consider it tuition fees. That's the charm of leverage—winning big or losing everything. I don't have such a big stake right now. I'll just be cautious, buy the dip, and hold some DUSK long-term. Let the bullets fly a little longer.

A continuous rally without a pullback is basically digging a pit for later entrants. I find your short position interesting—at least you didn't chase the high, which shows more clarity than most people. However, cycles tend to last longer than we imagine, and sometimes you just have to endure a few months in despair. Taking a liquidation as a sign of great wisdom is one thing, but what's even more difficult is not wavering amidst losses.
