This week, I finished my short-side play.
A week has passed, and the market has shown its hand.
Starting from around 64K BTC this week, all the way down to around 59K, I only focused on one thing:
Whether the rebound had strength,
Whether the buying support was firm,
Whether the sentiment was still inflated.
So my main theme this week was simple:
Short.
I’m not saying I was bearish only after the drop happened,
nor am I adding a “I told you so” after the market moved.
I’m putting the screenshots directly out there:
7 days, 20 trades, 20 wins, 0 losses.
Win rate: 100%, Return rate: +14.16%.
Follower P&L: 32,334.26U.
Maximum drawdown: 0.00%.
These numbers look like the results,
but what I care more about is the process.
When BTC was being pressed down from around 64K, many people were still waiting for a rebound.
And when ETH grinded down from above 1700, the market wasn’t clean on every single candle either.
There were retracements, hesitations, moments that looked like they might recover.
But my feeling at the time was clear:
This market wasn’t strong—
it just wasn’t dropping cleanly enough.
The hardest part of real trading isn’t calling a direction correctly once.
It’s whether, during those mid-course retracements, you can still remember why you entered in the first place.
This week, I didn’t fight the market.
It went down,
and I followed it.
I took the part I was supposed to take,
and when it was time to close, I closed.
After this week ended, I felt quite calm inside.
Not because of how much I made,
but because these trades, from judgment to execution, were never chaotic.
To me, that’s more important than pure profit.
The market shows up every day,
but being able to hold your own rhythm over an entire week—that’s where the real skill lies.
