Lost 110k USDT in a single trade. Last year, APE went from 2.8 all the way down to 0.3, and I thought it hit bottom. Then it halved again from 0.2. This time, I only used 10k USDT to test the waters, and just made 1,000 USDT from APE’s 24h surge of 14.63%.

Why dare to touch it again? The data speaks. 24h trading volume is 30.1M, turnover rate is 3x higher than the previous week, with an amplitude of 17.6% from 0.1386 to 0.1629 — clearly, funds are sweeping in. On the 4-hour chart, 0.145 is the previous support. The pullback to 0.1591 indicates short-term buying pressure outweighs selling. But don’t celebrate too soon. The daily chart is still in the 0.16-0.18 box. Before a breakout, this is just a rebound.

Trading plan: If you have no position now, wait for a pullback to the 0.152-0.155 range to take a light long position, stop-loss at 0.146 (must exit if it breaks the previous low). Take-profit in two stages: sell half at 0.168 first, then clear out at 0.178-0.18. Position size should not exceed 5% of total capital. Liquidity is poor — 30M volume is nothing during a pump; it’s just a minute’s worth. If you’re slow to exit, you’ll be left holding the bag.

If you already have a position, don’t add near 0.1591 now. Wait until tomorrow’s US CPI data comes out before moving. If the broader market doesn’t crash, APE will likely push toward 0.17 on news of Yuga Labs’ new game. But remember how this project team unlocked and dumped before — any positive news is an exit opportunity.

Don’t ask why I still trust this shitcoin. That’s just the fate of retail — healing scars and forgetting pain. But this time, I brought a stop-loss ruler. What about you? Drop your position in the comments. Let me see who’s more stubborn than me.
