Recently, I noticed a seasoned trader who has been consistently shorting, and their voice has noticeably diminished over this period. I wonder if they are quietly accumulating something or just observing.

Watching the market hit new highs again, what are those who were previously firmly bearish thinking now? Continue to hold short positions? Or have they already adjusted their strategy? At such times, the market often tests people's mental resilience the most. From extreme bearishness to the market breaking new highs, the psychological expectation gap is enormous.

This is the magic of the trading market—no one can fully predict every wave of the market. Whether sticking to a position or changing strategies, it ultimately depends on trading volume and technical analysis.

Silent bears are often the most dangerous, maybe they're just holding back a big move. It's easiest to see who can truly hold their mindset when the market hits a new high. I've been proven wrong too many times for being bearish, now I’ve learned to keep quiet haha. This kind of reversal is the most exciting—let’s see when they admit defeat.

The ones who quietly make big money from shorting are being left behind; that's the most uncomfortable part.

沉默本身就是个信号啊...要么是认输了，要么是在等更好的切入点。这就是博弈的残酷性。坚持看空的人现在多数在自我欺骗吧，找各种理由说这不是真涨...人性如此。这种时候最能看清谁真的懂市场，谁只是运气好。成交量骗不了人。做空的沉默期往往比喊单更危险...你永远不知道他们是真的认输还是在换弹夹。新高这种东西...总有人赌它会跌回来，结果被现实反复教做人。激励机制天生就扭曲了。声音少了是好事呢，还是投降的前奏？看后续的动作就知道了，嘴上的话都是骗人的。心理预期落差这块...其实反映的就是大多数人的决策都基于历史而非逻辑。机制性缺陷。

honestly if you analyze the data, those permabears probably just got liquidated and are too embarrassed to show face... volume doesn't lie though, so we'll see who actually understood the technicals

Silent shorts are the most frightening. What big move might be brewing in this wave?

Everyone has fallen silent, which means they admit defeat. No one dares to speak up in front of a new high; this is the fate of shorting.

Silent bears, are they unable to hold on or are they preparing a big move? Their confidence has collapsed; as soon as a new high appears, they turn green. This is the brilliance of the market. Being bearish and getting proven wrong—how painful must that be?

People who are stubbornly holding short positions are probably suffering now. I bet five dollars they've already quietly closed their positions, haha.

Haha, at times like this, you can see who really knows how to trade and who is just bragging. People who are trapped are probably thinking about how to get out now.

Ha, isn't that what we often say—"Silence is the best prediction"? The bears have fallen silent, and there's nothing much to boast about for the bulls. The real profit-makers are quietly watching the K-line.
