Once $IO pumped, the overall vibe of the chart completely changed. I took longs from 0.16220 all the way to 0.17293, and now the ROE shows +467.97%. The extension is clearly unfolding, and the pent-up space from before has finally been released.

What I initially focused on wasn't the upside, but rather the way capital was pushing the market. The price was held from dropping, pullbacks didn't break support, and then a slight volume expansion tested the upside — this suggests someone was slowly controlling the rhythm. Many only see the discomfort of a sideways grind and overlook the fact that key levels were consistently rising. Once such a zone breaks out, those trying to short are easily caught off guard.

My current approach is simple: take 30% off, leave 70% on with a trailing stop, and keep the rest with a protective stop. Futures aren't about who shouts the loudest, but about who dares to execute at key levels and maintains discipline after turning a profit. Now that there's a result, don't hand control back to the market.

If $IO continues to show strong absorption near the current price, there's still room to run. If absorption weakens after the push, first take profits. If you miss it, don't chase — wait for a more comfortable entry.
