Many people were just shouting for a rebound, and then $BTC got smashed straight down. This is the most real side of futures: those who hesitate get schooled by the market, while those who set their direction in advance get to catch this leg.

At the time, I wasn’t focused on just a single bearish candle, but the consecutive failures after heavy pressure at the high. When the short entry was provided around 78051.2, the market already showed clear fatigue—there was no volume on the push up, but the pullback was smooth. Now the price has moved to 62081.7, with profit of +3555.96%, and the trend extension is obvious.

For this trade, I cared more about the execution rhythm. After the profit came in, I didn’t get greedy for the entire move. The 80/20 approach felt comfortable—the bigger portion first stops out, and the remaining position is locked in profit using the protective level. In plain terms, going short isn’t about guessing the top; it’s about confirming that nobody above is willing to keep taking the other side.

This current decline has already released a round. Next, decide based on the strength or weakness of the rebound. If you missed it, don’t rush to average in—don’t chase the trade; wait for the next opportunity.
