Panic doesn’t show up all at once. Often, after the price repeatedly gives weak signals, confidence in the market gradually loosens.

This time, I focused on the follow-through after $OPN ’s pullback from the high. My entry price of 0.0886 wasn’t chosen at random; I only confirmed the direction once the rebound strength proved insufficient. Now the price has been pushed down to 0.0726, and the +869.66% gain-back indicates that this round of bearish momentum really has played out.

There was a dead-cat bounce in the middle, but the strength was always insufficient. The later it went, the more it became clear that selling pressure overhead is still there. My trading habit is: once profits appear, I first think about drawdown control and don’t let emotions run the position.

After trading for so long, I’ve come to feel that the outcome is just superficial. What’s truly worth recording is the decision-making process. Missing one round of volatility isn’t scary—clarity is worth more than impulse.
