(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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

I've not been able to join the leverage trading bandwagon as I'm yet to have a full grasp of it, though I've been doing some reading on it.

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.

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.

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.

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%.

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

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.
