This wave is a classic case of sweeping at the top and then dumping. $RENDER started out looking quite strong, but after a quick turn, it directly got pushed down. The short position opened at 2.0071; the price is now at 1.5743. +1042.05% is already in hand. Once the volatility room opens up, the trading experience instantly feels different.

That earlier spike up was actually crucial. A lot of people thought it was a breakout, but I think something was already off here. No one was buying as it was pushed up, yet the pullback happened quickly—showing that more liquidity above was being cleared, not that it was truly meant to keep running. The key is right here: the more frantic the emotion, the easier it is to get led into chasing.

This trade wasn’t forced out by a heavy position and hard holding. It was about waiting for confirmation and then following the pace. Now that the profit has been realized, I’ll first split it 80/20 in batches. The rest depends on whether the protection level can hold. If it holds, we keep the mindset; if it breaks, we leave—no arguing with the chart. Don’t panic if you missed it, don’t chase new positions, and don’t go scrambling to short in a fast drop. Wait for a more comfortable spot to act.
