For this short on $SKHYNIX , I wasn't excited at first—I was cautious instead. Because SKHYNIX had rallied too aggressively before, many would instinctively think it could still push higher. But when the price ran to a high level, the upward moves became more labored—any seasoned trader knows that feeling.

What I focused on was the reaction under pressure, not how a single candlestick looked. Only after seeing a pullback and confirmation around 1737.4 did I shift my thinking to the short side. The price then dropped all the way to 1520.2, showing a +303.73% gain. The result wasn't luck—it was more about waiting until the market revealed its weakness.

The most torturing part was those several pullbacks that looked like they would shake out the shorts. To be blunt, losing money often isn't about the direction, but about scaring yourself during the volatility. The real change came when the pullbacks weakened, and the shorts began to take over the rhythm.

Now that this leg has played out, I don't plan to force extra moves. Protect what needs protecting, wait for what needs waiting—don't trade without a signal.
