This short position is pretty satisfying: $FIL dropped from 1.0505 to 0.7899, and the profit is already +1194.66%. In this downswing, the drop-profit is basically a full capture of the core.

But honestly, what first drew me in wasn’t the panic after the drop—it was the repeated fake breakouts at the high end. Each time price gets swept upward, it gets pushed back down. The more people chase longs, the lighter the order book. Once places like this start to weaken, what often follows isn’t a slow bleed lower—it’s the direct release.

At the time, I was focused on the speed of the pullback after resistance. The key was right here. Once the structure clearly changed, the short couldn’t be hesitant. After entering, as long as price doesn’t move back into the key level zone, just let the profit run on its own.

Now that the market’s upside room has been released, brothers with bigger positions can consider handling it in 80/20 batches: lock in most of the profit first, and use the remaining position with a protective level to keep observing. The biggest fear in trading is making money and still wanting to take it all—then getting taught by a dead-cat bounce.

If you miss it, you miss it. Don’t force a chase in the second half of the selloff. Don’t chase the trade—wait for the next opportunity.
