When Bitcoin enters a bearish phase, it's often smart to take profit and short underperforming altcoins rather than holding through the downturn. The coins that typically weaken first include SOL, ETH, LINK, XRP, and SUI. Scalping these alts while the broader market weakens—especially during Bitcoin sell-offs—can be highly profitable. The correlation is strong: as Bitcoin drops, these major altcoins tend to follow suit, creating prime scalping opportunities. The key is timing your entries with Bitcoin's momentum shifts and exiting quickly. Trading this pattern consistently works well if you're disciplined with your risk management. 📊

To be honest, I'm already tired of the strategy of bottom-fishing in a bear market.
Short-term trading? Risk management? Sounds easy, but in practice, it can lead to heavy losses.

To be honest, I've already given up on short-term strategies in a bear market; the losses were too severe.

Bear market shorts on these coins are really absolute, and you're right—it's all about whether you can survive until that moment.

Here comes the same old rhetoric about cutting leeks again.

It's easy to say but hard to do; how many people can truly cut their losses?

It's easy to say but hard to do; only a few people can truly bottom fish.
