I already felt that the previous rally was unclean. This drop in $AVAX has essentially revealed the answer.

My short entry was at 9.312. At the time, I wasn't focusing on a single candlestick, but rather on how the price repeatedly surged but could never break into new territory. What really caught my attention was that the closer it got to the high, the weaker the active buying became, while the sell-offs grew more decisive. Such a market pattern can easily shift from hesitation to a stampede.

Now the current price is at 6.787, with floating profit showing +1923.23%. The market has released its movement very directly. Many people like to wait for confirmation before chasing, but when confirmation appears, the entry point is often already uncomfortable. The most crucial thing in trading is to spot the inflection point early, not to wait until the emotion has fully played out before entering.

For this trade, I'll first take some profit off the table, using an 80/20 split. The remainder will be kept with a protective stop to see if there's further extension. For those who didn't enter, don't chase shorts. Wait for a retrace to resistance; wait for the next opportunity, which will be more solid.
