This trade is a classic case of realizing high-level pressure. $ETH had been grinding for a long time in front of this, and today it finally showed the direction. My short position went from 2185.21 to 1774.41, with unrealized profit showing +3274.91%, and the room for price movement opened up very directly.

A lot of people see sideways consolidation and think it’s fine, but at the time I was looking at the strength of the pullbacks. The more it pulled back, the weaker it got, which showed that the supply and sell pressure above had been persistent the whole time. This wasn’t about going bearish suddenly—it's that the structure was giving signals step by step. When the real level finally broke decisively, the people chasing longs basically didn’t react in time.

Now the profit is already quite substantial. I’ll first take profits in batches on about 80% of the position, and keep the remaining position to continue observing—no greed for the very last leg. The protective level is set at a point before the pullback gets out of control. Trading isn’t about who shouts the hardest—it’s about who can hold onto their profits.

If you missed it, don’t rush. Don’t chase entries or chase the lows—wait for the next opportunity, which will be more stable.
