This short position felt quite comfortable. After $ETH was pushed down from the highs, the pace never got thrown off. At first, the price action looked like it wasn’t very volatile, but what I was really watching was the quality of the rebounds. A few attempts to push up failed to hold, which showed that resistance above had started to loosen.

The short entry was at 2185.21. The current price is 1748.9, and the profit is already +3472.39%. The most valuable part of this leg was being able to spot signs that the bulls were exhausting themselves before the breakdown—rather than waiting for a big bearish candle to form and then realizing too late, only to chase in afterward.

Back then, many people were still waiting for a pullback to keep moving higher, and even believed the retreat was just normal market noise and shakeout. But what I saw was that every rally was being suppressed, and the key levels were slowly drifting lower. This level is crucial: once the structure shifts from sideways consolidation into weakness, it becomes easier for the selloff to play out with continuity.

Now that the profits have already been released, there’s no need to push the pace too far. If your position size is large, you can handle it with an 80/20 split—first take back the initiative, and then keep an order with a protective stop to monitor how much room the volatility opens up. If you missed this move, don’t rush. Don’t force a short chase at low levels—wait for the next spot with clearer, better certainty before you act.
