This move is very typical: first it scares people, then it pulls back, and finally it clearly signals the direction. $XPL went from 0.08436 to 0.09117, and the long position is already up +573.19% in floating profit—this is the effect of market range expansion after a panic washout.

What really caught my attention is that the dip didn’t keep accelerating and break through on rising volume; instead, it quickly recovered. When many people see a wick, their first reaction is to run, but I think there’s a problem here. Because if it were truly going weak, it wouldn’t allow such a clean recovery. The key is right here: once bearish sentiment gets lifted, it becomes easier for the main players to switch and push higher, forming an acceleration.

At this stage, this trade isn’t about discussing entry timing anymore—it’s about how to protect the profits. I’ll likely split 70/30: first realize most of the core profit, keep the rest for the market to perform, and at the same time raise the protection level. The easiest mistake to make during an uptrend is to see it rising and want to rush in—if you miss it, you miss it. Don’t chase; wait for the next opportunity, and enter again at a more comfortable position.
