This short wasn't based on guesswork; the chart itself showed weakness. The multiple attempts to break higher failed to hold, getting weaker each time. On the surface, some were still calling for continuation, but what I saw was every bounce getting smashed back down – the momentum had clearly shifted to the bears. I opened a short on $SLX at 0.24784 and it's been pressing down all the way to 0.20238, with gains now at +360.68%. To put it bluntly, many people can see the risk, but they refuse to admit that the trend has turned. After this move played out, I didn't keep holding a full position. I took profit on the +360.68% first, leaving 20% for potential extension. The stop has already been placed in a safe zone; if a bounce later breaks the rhythm, I'll exit. Taking a short here is good enough – don't get emotional over one down candle. If you missed it, don't chase; wait for the next confirmation of weakness. $BTC $ETH
