$ZEC 's recent rally - many only see the result, but I care more about the painful waiting in between. Honestly, the worst part of holding a long isn't a dip, but the sideways movement that makes you doubt yourself.

Back when ZEC was near 400.11, the chart was oscillating repeatedly, and the shorts were loud. But the key was that each dip failed to break the support, and the low-level positions became increasingly unwilling to exit.

The change came after a volume-driven push up, and the pullbacks became significantly shallower. Now the price has arrived at 463.16, and the position has returned +1118.92%. This trade was endured through hesitation, not earned by impulse.

I won't recklessly add to the position just because of profits. I'll first protect the gains already realized. Take what the market gives, no need to always eat until the last bite. Miss it, wait for the next round.
