Many people were just watching the rebound moments ago, and then $INJ directly delivered the answer with a hard drop—this kind of price action most easily makes people realize it too late.

What I was looking at earlier wasn’t how much it fell, but whether the area around 5.542 could reclaim and hold again. If it can’t, it means the key levels above are still intact—especially since several pushes higher were repeatedly knocked down, and the structure clearly changed. At the time, I was focused on the strength of the pullback; the weaker it is, the more valuable the short is.

Now the market has traded down to 4.854, and the short position profit is +597.84%. After volatility opens up, what I fear most isn’t making no profit—it’s holding onto profit and still trying to tough it out through every single pullback. Trading isn’t about betting on emotions; it’s about the timing being realized.

My own handling is simpler: take profit in batches with an 80/20 split—first regain the initiative, then use the remaining position to hold with protective levels. If it can keep extending, then follow it; if it can’t, don’t allow profits to drop significantly.

Don’t rush if you missed this move. Don’t short after a sudden selloff, and don’t chase longs on a rebound. Wait for the next opportunity.
