This empty order finally came through. $AZTEC went from pressure at the high to where it is now—the pace is even more decisive than I expected.

The trade I was watching was a failed rebound around 0.02690. At the time, many people were still waiting for it to push higher. What truly caught my attention was that several prior spikes up top had no volume confirmation—once the price got pushed back down, the structure was already off.

After entering the short, I didn’t rush to judge the outcome. The key was whether it could break down through the critical level.

Now the price is at 0.01392, and the unrealized profit is already at +1183.24%. The room in this move has been released very clearly. Here, I’m more inclined to apply an 80/20 approach first: take part of the main profit off, and keep the rest with a protective level to continue watching for extension—so the profit that’s in hand doesn’t get knocked around by back-and-forth volatility.

This move isn’t about guessing—it’s trend-following after pressure at the highs. If you didn’t catch it, don’t chase the short, and don’t chase the trade. Wait for the next more comfortable spot to act.
