Recently, an interesting phenomenon has been observed—many big players are bottom-fishing and opening long positions at low levels, indicating they still have expectations for the future market. My short position at 96 that I previously held is now a bit tight, so I might need to close it first to avoid getting caught.

Over the past few weekends, the bulls have continued to exert effort, and those chasing short positions have been coming in one after another, indeed suppressing the rebound space. However, in this situation, I am a bit cautious; there is a high chance that Monday will see a pump—there is quite a divergence between bulls and bears at this level. Once the bulls gain momentum, the short-term rebound could be stronger than expected.

Overall, at this stage, it’s important to pay attention to the movements of the bulls, especially the pace of big players building positions. If there is a pump on Monday, those who previously chased short positions might be at a disadvantage.

Signals of big players bottoming out should not be ignored. It's also time for my short positions to exit; I don't want to get crushed on Monday.

The 96 short position is really risky this time. Large investors are increasingly buying the dip, so I feel we should be cautious on Monday.

96 short positions, I just can't hold on anymore. The bears have been so aggressive this weekend that it feels a bit strange, like something's going on... If it really starts to rise on Monday, those who are chasing short positions will be in an awkward situation. The signal of big players疯狂ly accumulating at low levels isn't very good. To be honest, both bulls and bears are testing this position now, but what I fear more is a sudden big bullish candle that will wipe out all the shorts. We need to keep an eye on the movements of the big players and not shake things up randomly.

Oh no, if the 96 short position isn't closed, it's a bit risky... This is a typical case of "stopping fire halfway through baking bread." Isn't it awkward? Big players are eating bread at low levels, retail investors are chasing shorts and drinking soup. On Monday, there will be a reversal and a slap in the face—just this kind of show.

The 96 short positions need to be closed quickly now. I feel like big players are holding back some major moves. If they push up on Monday, those chasing the short might suffer big losses. If this bullish wave really starts, the short-term rebound could be stronger than expected. The rhythm of big players building positions is very important; we need to keep a close eye. The bears are gaining strength, but the bulls are divided, and something feels off.
