This wave is brutally real. After $CTR swept the crowd at the high, it then followed the bearish direction directly.

At that time, I was focused on the pullback after the false breakout above. Many people chased the pump, but the price failed to sustain and instead showed weakness around 0.02080. This is the key point: a strong trend won't give you time to hesitate repeatedly. Once it can't push higher, it means someone is selling at the top.

Holding the short position till now, the price has reached 0.00861, showing a gain of +1152.04%. The volatility has expanded, and the timing of the position was right. The most satisfying part is not knowing after the drop, but seeing the structural weakness before the panic.

Now, don't let greed get out of control. Those with large profits can handle it in an 80/20 split—lock in some profits first, and use a protective stop for the rest to see if the trend extends. Trading isn't about capturing every move; catching the main downtrend is enough.

For those who missed it, don't force a chase. Rushing to jump in will likely get you punished by a rebound. Don't chase trades; wait for the next opportunity.
