If you use on-chain data tools for trading, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon: long signals are always more accurate than short signals.



Why? Because most on-chain monitoring tools are naturally biased toward capturing incremental capital inflows and tracking smart money accumulation. But when it comes to shorting, just looking at on-chain data isn't enough.

Currently, my shorting decisions mainly rely on two factors: first, whether there are signs of major funds starting to exit; second, how the price reacts when it reaches key resistance levels. When both of these signals appear at the same time, the success rate of short positions is much higher.

Hmm... On-chain data tools are indeed more bullish, but I think the main difficulty of shorting is still psychological. In reality, longs are easily liquidated, and shorts don’t necessarily profit either. By the way, is it common for these two signals to appear at the same time? Feels like the wait is a bit long. Shorting really requires patience, unlike going long which is more casual. I agree, the combination of capital outflow and resistance level is indeed much more reliable. It’s just that on-chain tools are originally designed for bottom fishing; for shorting, you have to know how to read the charts yourself.

Short positions are indeed tricky. On-chain data is just for show... Ultimately, you have to watch how the main players move; the reaction at resistance levels can't fool anyone.

Shorting is indeed difficult. You can't see all the on-chain data, and you have to combine it with price positions.

Haha, you're right. On-chain tools are indeed biased towards longs; for shorts, you have to rely on your own understanding. Main force withdrawal + resistance level reaction, I’ll remember this combo and try it next time.

Damn, this observation is spot on. I've been fooled by on-chain tools countless times before—long positions were great, but all my short positions got completely wiped out.

There are indeed too many on-chain tools, and I've been burned several times because of this. The weakness of short signals lies right here—you have to fill in the gaps yourself.
