I originally thought this wave of short positions was out of my reach, but who knew the market would force me to get a “second round” of the chance?

I closed my BTC short early, and then at 78505 I bought back the BTC short. I also went ahead and opened a bit of an ETH short. I wasn’t trying to make a huge profit—I just wanted to “save a little face.”

But Monday morning’s session left me completely stunned: BTC plunged together with the whole market, dropping below 77,000 within an hour. Liquidations across the entire market topped 500 million dollars. Even the Korean stock market fell by 3%. I sat there scrolling the news on my phone, watching my profit figures climb steadily, and my fingers finally found a steady rhythm again.

Now I’ve made 8,050 U from my BTC shorts, and 3,679 U from my ETH shorts—together, I’ve taken home over 10,000 U.

The essence of trading has never been about getting it right just once. After you’ve understood the trend, you have to be bold enough to execute, firm enough to hold your ground, and move with the market—only then can you reliably secure the results that belong to you amid the market’s fluctuations.
