This short position has finally paid off. The pressure at the high of $CTR was not fake. Many people were still waiting for it to continue surging, but what I saw was that the chasing-long momentum was beginning to dull.

What really caught my attention was that $CTR failed to break through the top several times in a row. The price dropped from 0.02080 to the current 0.00864, and the short-side profit from this wave has already reached +1151.1%. The market space was released cleanly. In plain words, this is not just a simple pullback, but a missed beat in the long-side relay.

What I was paying attention to at the time was the speed of the decline after the false breakout above. It plunged and did not quickly recover, so the structure was already wrong. Holding the short position was not about toughing it out, but about recognizing that the rhythm of the market had changed.

For those who still hold positions now, you can take partial profits in an 80/20 split, and let the rest ride with a stop-loss to continue looking for extension, and don't let profits retrace too much. For those who haven't entered yet, don't rush; don't chase the market or sell into the decline. Wait for the next, more comfortable entry.
