This short position has been timed perfectly. When $BCH surged up front, it looked very strong, but the higher it went, the more it couldn’t move forward—instead, it exposed the underlying problem.

At the time, I was focused on two things: first, the key resistance zone above kept being tested repeatedly without breaking through; second, after the pullback, the rebound speed clearly slowed down. A lot of people were still watching for a breakout, but what I saw was that the buy pressure started to hesitate, and the structure had clearly changed. The breakdown wasn’t a coincidence—it was the result of the earlier weakness stacking up.

The entry was at 345.75. Now the price is at 246.73, and the return rate shows +2033.34%—this short has been closed very cleanly. After the market’s upside/downside room gets released, the biggest fear isn’t making less profit; it’s taking profit when it’s already in hand and not protecting it, only to have it get knocked back by a rebound.

Here I lean toward handling it 80/20: first, cut the bulk, and then use the protection level to continue following. The chart will keep having fluctuations—don’t turn a single winning trade into an emotion-based one. If you miss it, you miss it. Don’t chase; waiting for the next opportunity matters more.
