This morning, I accumulated some spot holdings at the 11.4 price level, planning to use a short-term pullback to lower the cost. But the day before yesterday, I was too focused on monitoring the market and ended up sleeping with my phone in hand until nightfall, missing the double bottom confirmation in the 15-minute cycle—that should have been an excellent signal for adding positions. When I opened my eyes, the price had already surged to around 14, and I watched over twenty points of unrealized profit slip away without selling or chasing—truly a textbook example of counter-trend operation.



It's quite heartbreaking to think about. In short-term trading, discipline in monitoring and technical sensitivity are both indispensable. This time, I was completely backstabbed by the "sleep assassin." But despite the complaints, I actually saw some interesting things from this movement—ZEN seems to be breaking out of an independent trend.

First, let's talk about the missed "15-minute double bottom." This thing is a golden entry signal in short-term trading, especially in sideways markets, with very high reliability. The core logic of the double bottom is simple: a second dip that does not create a new low. Coupled with moderate volume expansion, it indicates sufficient buying support below, with bearish momentum starting to weaken, likely leading to a rebound. My original plan was to add to my position immediately after the double bottom was confirmed, lowering the average entry price and spreading out the risk. But I fell asleep and missed the entire opportunity. This also serves as a reminder: in short-term trading, either set up early alerts or control your position rhythm—don't turn "trading" into "fate" like I did.

Looking at the current movement, after reaching 14, the price has started to consolidate sideways. During this period, there hasn't been a sharp decline, which is a positive sign. The price is consolidating with reduced volume at high levels, indicating that the chip turnover has basically completed, and the bulls are quietly accumulating strength. From a capital flow perspective, holders at this level are relatively stable and show no signs of panic selling.

Combining technical analysis and capital flow, I remain fairly confident in ZEN's subsequent trend. The long-term target of 330 is not baseless; it is based on a comprehensive assessment of the current trend strength and historical resistance levels. There may still be fluctuations in the short term, but the overall direction should be upward.

A final rambling note: trading will always have regrets, but the key is to learn from each mistake. Next time, I will definitely remember either not to sleep or to clear my orders before sleeping. Have you ever experienced something similar to "sleeping through a wrong move"? Let's share!
