Let’s review this trade in detail. $ONDO went from moving sideways near the highs to breaking down and pressing lower—the rhythm was actually very clear; it’s just that there was too much noise throughout the process. At first, everyone was watching the rebound, but what I cared about was whether it could hold its ground after the rebound. The answer the chart gave was very cold.

After shorting around 0.4096, I didn’t rush to monitor short-term fluctuations. The key here is this: as long as the pullback can’t stand back up and reclaim, the short-side structure is still there. Later, the price kept getting pushed down all the way to 0.3356. Current profit is +873.56%, and the released trading room has already been realized for a stretch.

This kind of profit from a drop tests execution the hardest. When opening, you’re afraid of stepping in at the wrong spot; when you’re in profit, you’re afraid of taking too little. The market is specifically set up to harvest this kind of hesitation and back-and-forth. My thinking is simple: first take back the initiative, take partial profit, and carry the remaining position with a protective level—then see whether it can continue extending lower.

Now don’t get out of control just because you see profit. Don’t miss the right kind of trades—wait patiently for a more comfortable position before making your move.
