Today’s market action was quite interesting. $FF had been grinding at a high level for several days, and that was the level I had been watching, so I didn’t rush to enter. When the price later surged to around 0.10466, I felt the selling pressure above was significant. After hesitating for a moment, I still opened a short position. To be honest, many people were still calling for further gains at that level, and I wasn’t confident myself. There was a rebound in the middle, and I was sitting on a considerable floating loss at the key level. Honestly, I almost cut the position. But then I thought about it: my logic for opening the short was still valid, and the selling pressure hadn’t disappeared, so I gritted my teeth and held on. Fortunately, I endured this wave. The market then continued moving downward, reaching 0.08942, and this trade had already captured +701.24% times the space. I took 80% off the table earlier, and after raising the protection level for the remainder, I felt much more at ease. Many people ask me whether they can chase after seeing the drop. My attitude has always been: if you missed it, don’t chase. Getting the timing right in this move is far better than constantly chasing back and forth. $ETH $XRP

This level has been grinding for nearly a week. Honestly, I almost concluded that it was going to break upward. But every time it approached the highs, someone was eager to take profits, keeping selling pressure trapped there and preventing a breakout. That was exactly what I was watching, so I never let go of my short position, which I entered around 1.0030. I did get shaken out a few times in between, and there was also support underneath, making me wonder for a while whether I had taken the wrong side. But the market’s feedback has been clear: the price has been stepping lower, from 1.0030 at entry to 0.8298 now, and the short thesis is playing out. I already reduced the position in batches earlier, and the remaining orders are protected with a stop, without trying to greedily capture the final leg. I’m now up +831.6%, and the rhythm is actually much steadier than at the beginning. The biggest takeaway from this move is that repeatedly failing to break higher at the top is not without reason. Once the direction is right, all that remains is to be patient through the consolidation. $XRP $SNDK
