This short-long trade setup is really satisfying, but the process was anything but easy.



$BEL kept getting pulled back and forth in the high zone. A lot of people saw the rebound and wanted to chase in, but what I was watching at the time was whether it could hold around 0.12880. The outcome was clear: it couldn’t push higher, but the pullback became increasingly decisive. This order book isn’t strength—it’s distribution at a key level.

The real change came after it broke the key level. Panic started to show up; the momentum longs, chasing the move, had to passively exit, and only then did the downside space open up. Now the current price is 0.10837, and the long position’s profit is already at +157.55%. After the volatility range opened, the rate at which profit is being released really is faster than expected.

But the more it’s like this, the more you need to stay calm. If you have a large position, don’t stare at the extreme level and fantasize about taking everything in one bite. You can split entries with an 80/20 approach, push your protective level lower, and leave yourself an exit.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t rush to add. Chased orders after realizing profits are very easy to get “educated” by a rebound. Don’t chase—wait for a more comfortable spot.
