$ACT’s drop—many say it was sudden, but the signs were already showing in the market. I’m not the type to call for a short only after seeing a big red candle; what really caught my attention was the high-level consolidation where it couldn’t be pushed up—ACT was already showing some signs that something wasn’t right.

This short near 0.01151 wasn’t an easy trade. There was a bounce in the middle, and I also hesitated about whether to exit early, but put simply, the bounce didn’t change the weakness—it only flushed out the undecided. A lot of people lose here not because they misjudged the direction, but because they were tortured by a few back-and-forth moves and ended up panicking into bad decisions.

Later, the price was pushed down from 0.01151 to 0.00829, and the short position returned +686.01%, validating the earlier pressure/resistance judgment. Not every trade can go this smoothly, but this time the timing was definitely on point.

Now I’m more willing to tighten my protection level and stop adding just to follow the market. The market has already answered; the rest is making fewer mistakes and waiting to act again at the next comfortable spot.
