I’m not surprised at all by how this drop has played out. The high-level consolidation in front of $ETH that refuses to move upward is the easiest to trick people into thinking it’s building up strength—this is the key. A truly strong market won’t keep giving you time to exit repeatedly.

My short position is at 2111.63; it has already been hit down to 1825.37, and the unrealized profit shows +2356.58%. I already noticed this area earlier: repeated attempts to break higher failed to produce effective continuation. Instead, each pullback happened faster, indicating that the strength of active selling pressure is increasing.

This isn’t a short taken after panic—it’s that the intraday structure has clearly changed. After selling takes profit during the drop, don’t just get excited about the gains. For those with larger positions, you can handle it in batches using an 80/20 split: take most of the position off first, and keep a smaller portion following. The protective level must be set firmly—don’t hand the profits back.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t rush. After a fast selloff, you also shouldn’t chase blindly. Don’t chase on the rebound—wait for a more comfortable level.
