After a while of trading, you’ll notice that the clearest signals of a downtrend are often not the big bearish candles themselves, but the fact that each rebound is weaker than the last. This detail is what I focused on most this time.

$XRP This trade was tracked starting from 1.1661; later, the price moved to 1.0906. The timing for closing the short positions was relatively smooth, and the +604.25% change also matched my expectations.

There were fluctuations in the middle, but price was always capped from above, and buy-side follow-through wasn’t very active. My trading habit is: once profits appear, I first focus on protecting the gains, so that emotions don’t disrupt the rhythm.

I’m not only recording the changes in returns—I also want to share the logic behind each judgment.
