ZEC's current market is in a wide-range oscillation, and both bulls and bears should not rush to draw conclusions. The key is to seize opportunities at critical price levels and take profits promptly when in profit.

From an operational perspective, the area below 500 is a good position for short-term longs. However, if the price surges to the 520-530 range, it might be worth considering a short position. The market tends to oscillate back and forth, and each swing presents trading opportunities.

Personally, I lean towards a bearish view on this segment, but I want to share a mindset issue — when most people are advising you not to short and even listing a bunch of bullish reasons, that is actually the time to consider a contrarian approach. The market fears consensus the most; the higher the unanimity, the more likely it is to reverse. So don’t be swayed by public opinion. Sticking to your own analysis and risk management is the key.

The reverse operation of this theory has been drilled into my ears until they are calloused, but it is indeed easy to lose money. I believe in bottom-fishing below 500, and I dare to short above 520, but I don't dare to trust my own judgment. Does a strong consensus necessarily mean a reversal? If more people are going against the trend, wouldn't that become the new consensus? Still, I choose to hold my position. This wave of ZEC is testing human nature. Where is the promised stop-loss, everyone? Hearing you say that, I feel my operations are even more chaotic. I'll wait for a clear signal before taking action.

This wave of market is just a fragmented harvesting machine; the greedier you are, the more you'll get eaten. Reverse operation is indeed a perfect strategy, but being too explicit makes it easy to be countered. There's an overwhelming number of people bottom-fishing below 500; beware of stepping into a trap.

520-530 is really a trap; I've been caught once already. Reverse operations are well said; I'm just afraid I don't have that resolve. This wave of ZEC is just a rhythm of cutting leeks; we need to survive and come out alive. I'm also waiting below 500, but I always feel it's not that simple. I agree with the argument that public opinion is being manipulated, but it's really hard not to follow the trend, brother.

Damn, they're back to the reverse operation again. Last time doing this, I lost everything. Really being hijacked by public opinion, reverse, reverse, and reverse until there's nothing left. Can't push past 520, I think 530 is just a dream, definitely bankruptcy line. Easy to say, but the key is I have no money to go all in, brother. This logic is brilliant, strong consensus means reverse, so why don't we all buy Dogecoin? Or just play it safe and buy the dip below 500, anyway I've already lost everything.

I get the logic behind this reverse operation, just worried that my mindset isn't that strong.

520 this point is really a trap, every time it’s here that people get chopped. When consensus is strong, doing the opposite makes sense, but few actually dare to do so. ZEC’s recent volatility is indeed annoying, better to stay below 500 for now, safer. Saying it’s easy to do the opposite, but when real money is involved, most people get scared. Do most people only see bullish and bearish signals? I feel like most are actually losing money. That range between 520-530 has been obvious for a long time, who still believes in it now? Not being swayed by public opinion requires your own judgment, most people lack that. This round of ZEC is just a cut, regardless of bullish or bearish, those who take profits in time are the winners.
