A few days ago, when I was watching the order book, I actually noticed some changes. After $RE was pushed up, RE didn’t continue to expand volume and push higher; instead, every time it spiked, it was pushed back down. I’ve suffered from this kind of market structure before.

At the time, I thought in a very simple way: if it’s truly strong, it should go straight; it shouldn’t grind people at high levels. So I kept waiting until hesitation showed up around 0.71099, then I opened a long. I also didn’t dare to size too big, fearing I’d get washed out by a fake move.

Later, as it pulled into the 0.56037 area, the rhythm was more or less on point. After the +417.56% move came through, I became even calmer. What I fear most when shorting isn’t that there’s no room—it’s that a quick rebound would throw off your mindset.

Now I’m more inclined to first protect the rhythm: take out 80/20 to deal with most of it, and leave the rest to see whether the chart gives room to continue. I believe many people have felt this too—the hardest part of trading isn’t getting the direction right, it’s not making mistakes when you’re already in profit.
