I’m going to publicly recap this trade directly. The $RAVE short was opened at 0.4506, and the current price has already dropped to 0.2669. The PnL shows +998.06%. I’m putting the result out first, because this selloff being realized is exactly what shows that when prices are under pressure at the top, you can’t judge based only on surface strength.

At the start, the chart was still tugging back and forth, and many people thought a pullback was a chance to go long. But what I saw was that the rebound highs kept getting lower, and the active buy-side momentum kept weakening. Something was already off here—especially after it broke down, the subsequent retest had no strength. That indicates the shorts’ pace has started to take over.

I had already made preparations for this move beforehand, so when it truly triggered, there wasn’t much hesitation. Now that the market’s downside space has been released, the short-term profits are fairly attractive. If you have positions, you can handle it in batches using an 80/20 split: protect most of the gains first, and keep the remaining smaller position with a protective stop to see whether it continues to dip lower.

Don’t turn a single great trade into an emotional one. After taking profits, you should be even clearer. If you didn’t catch it, don’t be anxious—don’t chase the next trade. Wait for the next spot where the certainty is stronger.
