That key high level I was watching earlier finally gave an answer today.

$XRP I haven't been in a rush to take long positions in this wave, the reason is simple: although the price is still grinding at the top, each breakout attempt has not formed an effective continuation. Before the signal appeared, I already observed changes, especially those false breakouts above XRP, which looked strong on the surface but were actually draining the chasing buyers.

After entering the short position at 1.1661, what I focused on was the follow-through strength after the breakdown. Now the price has hit 1.1306, with a gain of +283.79%, and the trend extension is obvious. This is not luck, but execution after patiently waiting for the structure to weaken.

Many people's problem is right here: they don't dare to act when they see the first bearish candle, but start chasing after the price has already dropped, completely reversing the rhythm. The truly key moment is actually when the price fails to recover after being under pressure.

For those with profits now, don't get cocky. Taking profits in batches with an 80/20 split is more stable. Keep protective stops on the remaining position to see if it can continue to drop further. If you missed it, don't force a chase; wait for a more comfortable entry.
