This short position has finally paid off. $AZTEC has been driven down from highs, and the chart is very straightforward. My entry was at 0.02690, and now the price is at 0.01365, with a current return of +1207.85%. This is not luck—when the previous bounce failed to hold, the structure had already shown its hand.

At that time, I wasn't looking at how much it had dropped, but whether the rebound had sustained buying. Many were still waiting for it to keep going up, but I felt something was off. Once the upper level pressed down, those chasing longs started to hesitate, and the space for shorts opened up.

For this trade, I prefer to handle it rhythmically. With profits already realized, splitting 80/20 will feel much better—take some off the table first, and use a protective stop for the rest, so the hard-earned profits don't get shaken out.

Now the most critical thing is not excitement, but not adding to the position recklessly. During a downtrend, it's easy to get emotional and chase. If you missed it, don't chase the short. Wait for the next rebound to offer a better entry.
