This recent drop was crucial. $ADA had been grinding at highs for so long and finally gave a direction. Many people got numb from the sideways movement, but I became more cautious, because each upward push failed to sustain, and the structure clearly changed.

At that time, I was watching the level of 0.2438. If it couldn't hold above that, it wasn't strong, and the short logic was valid. Now the price has come to 0.1671, with open position profit +2238.09%. The trend extension is obvious. Such realization is not based on guesswork, but on what the chart showed step by step.

The easiest place to make mistakes is to panic only when seeing a red candle, and then want to go long on a bounce. In fact, the key point is right here: a weak bounce is just an opportunity for shorts to reposition. The smart money grinds out the hesitant traders, then smashes the price down with the trend.

If you have positions, remember to protect profits. Don't let the already gained room retrace too much. An 80/20 phased take-profit is more stable, with the remaining position watching the stop-loss level. If you missed it, don't rush. Don't chase shorts. Wait for the next opportunity.
