I still thought before going to bed that this range would keep moving sideways, but when I checked again the next morning, the shorts had already released all the key levels. A few days ago, before going to sleep, $OPN was swinging back and forth above—seemingly calm on the surface, but in reality, the buy-side bids were getting weaker each time. When I watched OPN, the focus wasn’t whether it would bounce, but whether it could hold after the bounce. Each time it was pushed up, it fell just short—there wasn’t enough follow-through, while selling pressure kept showing up. So around 0.1710, I executed a long, waiting for the realization after the high-level weakness. The current price has pulled back to 0.0611, with a return rate of +3095.06%. This trade didn’t involve much theatrics: I didn’t follow when there was a low-volume rally; I waited when there was overhead suppression. When the opportunity appeared, then I made the move. Protect the profit first—close it out with +3095.06%, and keep the remaining 20% within the cost-protection range. If it continues to drop further, just hold along with the move. If it bounces back, don’t let the profit get uncomfortable. Position management matters more than emotions. It’s better to miss a sprint than to get repeatedly harvested in a ranging market. If you haven’t entered yet, don’t rush to add more. Chasing after a fast drop is also dangerous. Wait for the right signal—strike again the next time the structure is clear. $BTC $ETH

Before $FF repeatedly pushed into the high area several times without holding, I kept focusing on around 0.10466 as the key observation point. Back then, the market didn’t immediately dump downward; instead, it kept tugging back and forth. Many people saw a few green candles and started chasing orders. As the atmosphere heated up, I became even more cautious. The hardest part after I went short was that the price didn’t weaken right away. During that time, there was a rebound; my urge to trade and anxiety both surged, and I almost got out early due to short-term price fluctuations. Later, selling pressure showed up again. When the price was pushed up to 0.06008, the logic of being rejected at the high finally played out. I’ll record this trade’s result as +2051.29%. In the end, shorting isn’t about acting only when you see a bearish candle—it’s about first understanding the lack of strength behind apparent strength. After the market gives you the answer, I’ll be even more alert to this kind of breakout-then-retrace setup. $BTC $ETH

This short-and-long order actually took quite a while. $CHZ has been grinding around 0.03382, making people itchy, and as they watched other coins start to pump, they almost wanted to chase and go long. But its own performance has never been right: when it surged there was no follow-through, and when it dropped it was very decisive. On the surface it looked strong, but inside it felt like nobody was willing to take over. Later, that rebound looked more like a washout—once the price just lifted its head, it was pushed back down. That’s when I confirmed this wasn’t a place to chase the breakout, so I opened a short along with the weakness. Along the way the market even poked in a needle—honestly it was pretty tormenting. Fortunately, I wasn’t washed out. When the price finally came to 0.0143, this drop connected all the earlier judgments into one, and the result landed at +2779.54%. If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you know: missing the first leg isn’t scary, but what’s scary is trying to force your way to catch up with the rhythm and taking a flying knife. Being able to wait for the real breakdown this time is already much more comfortable than rushing to get on board. $BTC $ETH
