In the current market environment, trading contracts is indeed quite challenging. Although it's a volatile pattern, the fluctuations are really large, and the risks are amplified accordingly.
Take Ethereum, a major mainstream coin with a large market cap, as an example. Assuming 20x leverage, a 5% drop on the account could trigger a liquidation, and in reality, it might be less than 5% before a margin call occurs. Recently, daily fluctuations often reach nearly 10%, so even if your directional judgment is correct, it's easy to be shaken out.
As for the trend, I am not bearish in the short to medium term, since the oscillation range hasn't been broken downward yet. Being close to the lower boundary of the range might actually be a good time to set up long positions.
