This short position has finally played out. The chart's answer is straightforward: the high level can't hold, and smashing downward is the real direction.

For this $STG trade, I wasn't looking at a single bearish candle, but the feeling of pressure after repeatedly failing to break higher. The entry price was at 0.3712. At the time, many were still waiting for further rallies, but I felt something was off — buying volume couldn't keep up, and bounces were getting weaker.

Now the price is at 0.1743, and the short position profit has reached +526.1%. The market space has been released quite decisively. What's really key is that after the breakdown, it didn't immediately recover, indicating the short-term rhythm has shifted to the bearish side.

For those with positions, handling it with an 80/20 split will be much more comfortable — first take most of the profit, then let the remaining small position continue with a stop loss to see further extension. Don't let the profits you've already secured be eroded by a bounce.

For those who haven't entered yet, don't rush. Don't chase longs or shorts. Wait for the next more comfortable entry point before acting.
