Recently reviewed the ZEC operations and would like to share some thoughts with everyone. Opening the 4-hour chart clearly shows that this wave of the market is moving within an ascending channel. Each time the price touches the upper trendline of the channel, it pulls back, and this pattern is very obvious. Based on this observation, I placed a short order at 551, and the final price reached a high of 555.55 (although it did not hit my stop loss).
Later, I drew a second trendline and found that the same logic repeats — every time the price approaches this line, it pulls back. Only a true breakout of this line could signal that the market might move upward.
In the marketplace, you often hear various voices, such as institutions entering the market or large funds positioning. But honestly, all these need to be verified against the actual market data. Your strategy must be justifiable on the chart, but the more factors you consider, the more likely you are to hesitate. The key is to find a logic you believe in and stick to it.
In 2026, I hope everyone can stay calm during rises and not panic during falls. Identify the trend accurately, buy low and sell high in an orderly manner, and maintain a safe line for take profit and stop loss. Let’s steadily move forward together on this trading journey.

551 short position without a stop loss is actually quite risky, luckily it didn't lead to liquidation. Speaking of which, trend lines are only reliable after repeated validation, don't put too much trust in the voices from the square.

555.55 this number is a bit magical, almost took out your short position
The chart speaks for itself, I respect that, just worried that I might be too subjective when looking at the chart
Want to ask if you'll consider ZEC again after this wave
Taking profits and stop-losses can easily be overwhelmed by emotions, you're right
Too many signals can actually be a setback; sometimes simplicity and straightforwardness are the winners

After looking at the chart for a long time, I still got knocked down. Trend lines really depend on trusting the right person.

Hmm, the 551 short almost slipped, that's the excitement of the market.
Trend lines are indeed clear, but what I fear most is a sudden black swan.
The claims about institutional layouts are just for listening; the market itself is the most honest.
Sticking to your own logic is really difficult, especially when you're floating at a loss.
If 2026 can hold the stop loss, you've already won more than half.

Short position at 551 without stop loss is really exciting, and hitting 555.55 must have been so painful.

Honestly, looking at charts is much more reliable than listening to stories.

The short position was almost hit by a face slap, still about 4 dollars away. This is what we call "almost right" haha, hilarious.
The market chart never lies, people are just easily fooled by themselves, this is so true.
Trend lines are indeed useful, but the people trying to catch the bottom or top are always the majority.

That trendline method is really useful, but I'm just worried about misreading the direction, which would be awkward.
