Statistically, charts spend ~90% of their time going sideways or down. Only ~10% of the time do they actually trend up.

So assuming you were patient enough and finally get one, with clean accumulation behind you, structure intact, R:R stacked in your favor on the long side, but your first instinct is "Scam pump, I'm shorting this"…
Stop. Read that again. - What you are doing, is fading the rarest, most valuable condition the market gives you. "Supposedly" you waited weeks, maybe months, for this exact setup. And now your brain is telling you to bet against it because price moved up. I'm sorry my dear friend. That's not analysis, that's self-sabotage.
Why do you think 90% of the people end up losing money and blowing up portfolios after years? Because Math doesn't lie. 10% of bars trend up, 90% of bars don't. If you fade the 10%, you're statistically choosing to lose. Take the long. Let it work...
...The shorts will come, in the 90%. 👺
