I thought it was a good deal to buy Cardano at $0.098 price, turns out I'm in a 25% loss right now. At some point the shorters should stop shorting and the weak hands should be gone right? It looks like the massive sell offs will continue for a while.

You are still on luck yet 25% loss wont really be that deep.How about knowing that some people do even reach out 75%+ loss? For sure you would panic and no one cant really take it on easily. Price movements doesn't always go up and there would be always a bearish market. Dumping will end? Theres no such thing of an ending because you cant call it a market if you don't see stable prices.
