When the screen is filled with green candles, it’s easiest for people to get tempted to chase and open positions, but this time I specifically waited a bit. In the early session, just as the market got dumped, $ETH rebounded but didn’t have any solid follow-through—every time price tried to rise, it was pushed back down by sell pressure. What I saw was heavy resistance at higher levels, not a strong reversal. So I posted a short entry around 2111.63. This wait wasn’t in vain. The current price is already at 1881.15, and the return rate is +1901.67%. I nailed the timing on this move. The earlier part was messy and slow, but once I finally got out, it was truly worth it. First, close 80% of the position. Keep the remaining 20% to continue observing, and move the protective level closer to the cost basis. If there’s still room for further downside, let the tail position run with it; if the rebound speeds up, first secure the portion already realized. The market is about waiting for it to line up, and profit is made by holding it through. Better to miss a stretch than to add more and more to the position when you’re carried away by emotions. Friends who haven’t joined yet, don’t rush to add tickets. This level isn’t suitable for blindly chasing. Wait for the next shot—move only after the new structure is clear. The market doesn’t lack opportunities; what it lacks is patience. $BTC $SOL

This isn’t a rebound—this is cardiopulmonary resuscitation for short positions in empty accounts, isn’t it? A few days ago, before bed I kept staring at $BTC. I saw it surge from the high but it never had volume, and the follow-through couldn’t keep up. I judged that this leg was heavy with a bull-trap, so I promptly reminded everyone about a short. My entry was set at 76861.4—I was waiting for the spike and then the fade. Price got pushed down all the way from the high to 65053. The short trade’s profit is +2670.12%. The payoff was pretty direct: the longer it dragged before, the more decisive it was on the way down. This time, the “meat” was eaten quite comfortably. First, close 80%—the bulk is taken off the table. Put the remaining 20%’s protection level near the cost basis. If it keeps dumping, let the profit run. If it bounces back, don’t spit out the already secured gains. Don’t grind yourself down in a range and lose your patience, and then also try to win back dignity in a one-way move. Being flat is not a crime—opening trades randomly is the mistake. Friends who haven’t boarded yet, take my advice: don’t chase to add shorts at low levels. Wait for the next round at a more comfortable position. Once the new structure forms, then look again. There are opportunities—don’t rush. $ETH $SOL

To be honest, after seeing this round of feedback come in, I still feel pretty good inside. Before opening the position, I didn’t rush to chase the short; instead, I waited while the price repeatedly tested at the high end and failed. Only after confirming that there wasn’t enough buy-side support above did I execute around 1897.16. After opening the position, the rebound once made the order book look a bit hesitant, but the price never regained strength. The short-side power gradually took the initiative. Now at 1884.59, with a result of +113.32%, the earlier waiting has finally received an answer. The hardest part in trading is often not finding an opportunity, but holding to the rhythm and protecting profits in time. Once the profit appears, I care more about whether the pullback is controllable than continuing to fantasize about even more upside. Profit needs to be protected, and patience also needs to be maintained. If you didn’t keep up with this move, don’t regret it—opportunities have always been there. What matters is not to chase orders out of emotion. $BTC $SOL
