Today, many friends are still consulting basic issues—the underlying logic of shorting and going long, with a special diagram to help everyone understand intuitively.
1. Bearish and Short Selling Mechanism#
Bearish: Anticipating that the market will enter a downward channel
Short Selling: Proactive selling based on bearish judgment (in the spot market, this needs to be achieved through futures/contract leverage)
Short Selling Operation Model#
When investors believe that the current coin price is inflated and there is room for a future decline, they adopt the "sell first, buy back later" strategy:
- Sell the held coin at the current price
- Buy back at a lower price after the coin price drops
- Achieve profit through the price difference
Practical Case Analysis#
Assuming a certain coin is currently priced at 10 yuan, predicting a decline:
- Mortgage 2 yuan margin to borrow 1 coin
- Immediately sell at the market price of 10 yuan
- When the coin price drops to 5 yuan:
- Spend 5 yuan to buy back 1 coin to return
- Retain 5 yuan profit (excluding capital costs)
⚠️ Risk Warning: If the coin price rises against expectations, the margin will face forced liquidation risk
2. Bullish and Long Buying Strategy#
Bullish: Anticipating that the market will enter an upward channel
Going Long: Achieving profit through "buy low, sell high" (in the spot market, directly buying is going long)
Bullish Operation Logic#
When investors are optimistic about the appreciation potential of a coin:
- Purchase the target coin at the current price
- Wait for the price to rise and then choose to sell
- Obtain profit through the buying and selling price difference
Practical Case Demonstration#
Establishing a position when SOL is priced at 140U:
- Invest 140U to buy 1 SOL
- Sell when the coin price rises to 280U
- Achieve a net profit of 140U
🔑 Core Understanding: Both bulls and bears represent different market expectation groups, not specific individuals
Core Comparison#
- Going Long: Bullish → Buy → Sell at a high price (forward operation)
- Short Selling: Bearish → Borrow coins to sell → Buy back at a low price (reverse operation)
- Bulls: Market optimists
- Bears: Market pessimists
