I originally thought this wave of short positions was already out of reach for me, but who knew the market would insist on giving me a “second attempt.”

I got in too early with my last trade, so I simply picked my BTC short back up at 78505, and also opened a bit of an ETH short along the way. I wasn’t expecting a huge win—I just wanted to “save a little face.”

But Monday’s early trading really threw me for a loop: BTC plunged along with the broader market. In one hour it broke below 77,000, with more than 500 million wiped out in liquidations across the entire network. Even the Korean stock market fell 3%—I was sitting there scrolling news on my phone, watching my profit numbers climb steadily, and I could feel my finger rhythm finally coming back under control.

Now, the BTC short is up by 8050U, and the ETH short is up by 3679U—together, I’ve got over 10,000U in hand.

The essence of trading has never been about getting one thing right—it’s about understanding the trend, then daring to execute and daring to hold your ground. Only by going with the current can you steadily secure the results that belong to you amid the market’s ups and downs.
