Crypto researcher and analyst Trade The Flow has shared several trade strategies with the crypto community, aiming to help them stay profitable in a volatile market. He expressed a bearish outlook on Shiba Inu (SHIB), Cardano (ADA), and Litecoin (LTC) while offering his trade ideas.

Long/Short Pair Trade for Shiba Inu, Cardano, and Litecoin

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Trade The Flow recommended long/short pair trades as effective in current conditions. He suggested longing Bitcoin (BTC) and shorting Litecoin, describing this as "pure common sense" due to Bitcoin’s new ETF and global recognition as digital gold, contrasted with Litecoin's lack of network effect and future catalysts.

The second trade idea involved longing Ethereum and shorting Cardano. He explained that Ethereum is on the verge of having its own ETF and has many new layers and protocols being built on it, while Cardano has "near-zero real activity."

Another idea was to long Pepe (PEPE) and short Shiba Inu. He believes Pepe continues to gain market attention, whereas Shiba Inu's popularity has waned.

Additional Long/Short Pair Trade Ideas

Trade The Flow also suggested longing Pendle and shorting ONDO, noting discrepancies in their protocol metrics. He pointed out that ONDO’s FDV/TVL ratio is less favorable, especially with big token unlocks on the horizon.

Another suggestion was to long Lido (LDO) and short Ether.fi (ETHFI). He explained this as a classic pair trade between two liquid staking protocols on Ethereum, highlighting Lido’s higher TVL compared to Ether.fi, despite the latter’s higher FDV and upcoming token unlock.

While acknowledging that this trade carries more risk, he noted that Ether.fi's low float could lead to more explosive price movements.
