This short position finally paid off. The moment $AZTEC was pushed down from the high, the overall market “feel” was completely different. A lot of people are still waiting for a rebound to enter long, but what I was focused on at the time was how strong the pullback was after price met resistance overhead. Price moved from 0.02762 down to 0.01351; the +1254.5% move has already played out.

What truly confirmed it for me was that the rebound was getting weaker and weaker—once you push it up, it gets smashed down right away. That shows that what’s above isn’t a handover; there’s someone continuously distributing. I had already paid attention to this level earlier. Once the signal appeared, I didn’t rush to add—instead, I waited for breakdown confirmation before taking the position.

Now profit release is pretty obvious. Those with heavy positions can consider an 80/20 split: first take the bulk of the profits off the table, and keep the remaining smaller position with a protection level to see whether the move can extend further. Don’t get carried away just because things are smooth—contracts are most afraid of chasing after profits once you’re already in profit. If you missed it, there’s no need to rush. Don’t chase the order—wait for the next opportunity, and move only when the position is more comfortable.
