Let me be straightforward about this trade: the price action in $DOT's high zone clearly showed someone controlling the rhythm. On the surface, it kept pumping to give hope, but every rally was slammed back down — the capital's intent was already written on the chart.

What really caught my attention was the rebound near 1.280. It was fast, but the follow-through was weak, like deliberately sucking people in before squashing them. After I entered the short, I didn't rush to close because the structure had clearly changed. A weak bounce was followed by continued decline. Now the price is at 0.831, floating profit +2488.98%, and the move has played out fully.

After realizing profits, you need to rein in your mindset. Don't start swinging wildly just because one trade worked. I'm scaling out with an 80/20 split on take-profit, trailing a stop on the rest. As long as the rebound doesn't reclaim the key zone, let the profits run.

If you missed it, don't chase lower — you'll get shaken out on a bounce. Don't chase. Wait for the next higher-conviction entry.
