That quick flush down just now felt very familiar: first they pull up a wave to make people think it’s about to break out, then they suddenly smash it down to sweep out the longs who chased. At a position like $AZTEC, I’m not watching the excitement—I’m watching who gets forced into being the passive bag-holder.

Around 0.02762, I already felt something was off. The pullback after the spike was too fast, and the buying pressure didn’t have staying power. After entering a short, the chart didn’t give much hesitation—price was driven all the way down to 0.01444. Now the move is already realized at +1164.83%, and the continuation is clearly extended.

In plain terms, the rhythm changed. A lot of people got fooled into entering by that fake show of strength, and the real direction only became clear after the failed retracement. This isn’t an emotional bearish call—it’s following the market’s weakness.

Profits have already been released. If you’re holding a heavy position, you can take profit in batches; the rest should be held using the protective level. If you missed it, don’t chase—wait for a more comfortable spot and open the next trade.
