This move is a typical pattern: first sweep sentiment, then head in the direction. After inserting $ETH and then pulling it up, many people thought it was going to push higher again, but the level above simply wasn’t picked up.

At the time, I was watching the pause after the ETH rebound. The price looked like it was still holding up, but in reality the selling pressure had already been layered down, one layer after another. The short position was entered at 2111.63—not because I wanted to bet on a drop, but because the structure changed: the key area couldn’t be pushed up, the rebound didn’t have strength, and the funds were just using volatility to shake out the hesitant.

Now at 1798.7, the returns show +2576.83%—this stretch of the decline captured profits very clearly. After the market’s downside space is released, those with larger positions shouldn’t get greedy at the very end. Splitting in batches with an 80/20 approach is more convenient: most are protected first, and the rest is used to see whether it continues to expand from the protected level.

The worst thing about this kind of market is chasing only after it has already fallen. If you’re off on your position by even a bit, your mindset will get messed up. If you miss it, just watch first—don’t chase shorts. Wait for the next opportunity.
