For market conditions like this, it is difficult to predict coins for the short term, but what we saw for bcd, doge and bch experienced a very high increase yesterday maybe these three coins are worth making in the short term
It honestly is very difficult and huge risks to be trading the market in such situations like this. In an uptrend, it is easier as you see some level of sanity, and for the fact that the market is bound to go up quickly than downward, you really would not want to be shorting too much without some good stop loss as the case may be.

Shorting on the other hand is actually easier in a bear market where everything is simply just going down like lightning and that makes more volatile markets easier to short as long as you can use the market condition itself as an indicator. Normally, no sane trader will want to short the market when it is reaching a potential support in the first place, you only short when there is a break out based on your analysis to the downtrend which is usually always the normal thing to do.

It is trading and it is market, usually nothing is guaranteed and you cannot always be 100% right, but like you said, there is always a need to know when you are making certain decisions in the market which I believe any knowledgeable trader will  not make the mistake of buying at resistance or shorting at support.

From my point of view Nxt, ETC, ETH and enigma is good coin for short time. Just look at the chart of them, entry with buying partially then it will give you profit easily.

In my opinion, the coins which have very low pices like ethereum and neo can have very big rising in a ver short time. And also, I think stellar and iota might give good profits in the near future.

I rarely short coins, I prefer investing and waiting for the price to grow, but over the last few days, NANO and monero have showed healthy volatility, so I would go with them.
If I had to pick one more, I would go with Ethereum. It's my favorite coin, I always choose it when am out of options.

As for now those that might be on short is ETH for sure and that's the fact but don't leave XRP behind. And with many are turning on Waves platform it might be good for shorting too.

FYI, most of the coins listed here previously have had no conventional means for shorting. I'd like to introduce you all to MARKET Protocol- a protocol for options exchange upon the Ethereum network. You can create your own futures contracts and short any crypto you desire. https://marketprotocol.io/

3 top altcoins that will grow rapidly in the fast time are ethereum, neo and litecoin. I am optimistic if all three coins can be good and maximum in cryptocurrency.

Bcash is always fun to bash
It's so easy cause it smells like trash.
Bitcoin's Jesus turned Bcash Judas,
yet any value in Bcash continues to elude us...

Doge has been one to of the best to short when it happen to pump.

You can short any top coins. ETH is the best one.
Agree on this one, ETH has dropped a lot and this is one of the best as well as of the moment. You can also buy it if you are going to go for long term instead of shorting it.

Bitcoin Diamond and Bitcoin Dark pumped as well but I'm not interested with those forks.
short altcoin in my opinion, x, achain, crypterium,
is perfect for you if you want short trade and short investment
X? is there an altcoin that has an abbreviation with X? I don't have any idea with those altcoins that you mentioned and I don't hold any of them. Look, if you are going to short for ETH and you bought the dip you can do it today.

Very interesting! 

Any reasons why x, achain, crypterium make good shorts here?
I'm not sure with it but he has to answer why its a good coin to short but I'm thinking if there's really a coin that has an abbreviation of "X".

Exchange is where everyone trades, invests, buys or sells their assets and every day the user continues to grow. Therefore I chose Binance Coin and I think BNB has high potential in the short term.

I think currently it is very suitable to buy my Doge, Holo and Dent which is perfect for short-term investments, even though the price of 3 Altcoins is very cheap if and buy with volume and the number of votes from the desire will be seen, I also see these 3 Altcoins soaring up to 15% -30%.

Just to be clear, you are saying those make good SHORTs right now, right?

I kind of agree.  BCD feels very ripe to short right now. 

Does any exchange have margin trading for it yet?
AAAAA I also got on him and probably for a long time. I took $ 30
On which exchange are you shorting it?

I think I'm going to add a short against ETH here too.  At first, I thought it might not fall anymore today.

Then I realized how much the ICOs are holding in reserve.

Anything at the moment, it's all dropping, so there's a good chance that if you sell any coin for Tether and then buy back later, you'll be buying back at a lower price.
We are nearing the previously established bottom though of around $190b whole market, so there may be resistance there, but we shall see.
This is a good point about the 190b resistance.  I am really curious to see if we break through this to the downside.  If so, it's possibly a free-fall.

the current market situation is still bad enough to do short-term trading, I think that is not the best thing for now even though there are some altcoins on the pump that are very high in price but it is difficult to predict and analyze which coins will experience a pump back at the market price continues to decline.

Its movements continue to fluctuate and market conditions are still in a down trend. It is very difficult to choose some good altcoins for short-term trading and the risk is very high.
I think you didn't understand what the op did ask. He asked what coin is going to fall. Shorting is betting that a coin is going to fall in value.

I short such coins as IOTA, BTC (because of graphics) and BTC Cash. Bitcoin is the best at the moment.

Shorting now near major market lows may not be a good idea. Even though the altcoin may have poor fundamentals, market direction and timing is a big factor.
Yeah, nice point here.  This is the challenge of going with the trend.  The nice thing is that you can often catch some of the swing.

But the bad point is that the market might already be nearing lows.

Hah, nice question.  Better than "the world is ending.. let's Cry" posts.

I thing DOGE, ZIL, and ADA make good shorts here.

Doge because.. well.. it's a joke.
ZIL because I think that it's too late for the smart contract bandwagon.  Same is true for ADA.  ADA actually has good technology, but I still think it's a short.

(For those of you who are unaware, short-selling is when you make money when a coin DROPS in value.)   

What are your favorite altcoins to short this week?  (Maximum 3, please.)

Please also provide some justification!  (Technical or fundamental please.)

I'm shorting:
* DASH - I think that day-to-day usage is not really happening as much as they claim.
* MIOTA - I think that the real-world use case for this is farther away than people think.
