During the trading process, what most tests a person is often not what happens after the direction is clear, but whether they can stick to their judgment before the direction has been fully confirmed.

This time, with $ETH , what I was watching was the follow-through changes after the long/short conversion. My opening reference was 1672.33. When the price moved to around 1804.23, the return rate was already +1371.68%, and the upside potential began to release step by step.

My trading habit is not to rush to conclude the market situation. I first observe the price reaction, then see whether the momentum is continuing. If this move can play out, it’s more because the prior consolidation lasted long enough, and only then does the push feel smooth.

This trade reminded me that when you’re in profit, you need to stay calm even more, pay attention to protecting gains, and don’t let short-term fluctuations lead you around. Missing one bout of volatility isn’t scary—clear judgment matters more.
