Many people were still hesitating a moment ago about whether $COLLECT would pump again, but what really caught my attention is that on every lift from the higher level, there was no sustained buy-side pressure. Instead, the moment it touched a key level, it got dumped down. This doesn’t look right anymore—the short-sell thesis is starting to hold.

I didn’t wait for a big bearish candle to react. I’d already noticed the change in resistance at this spot earlier. So after opening a short around 0.04348, the key focus was whether it could break below the critical level. The chart delivered very clearly: after the breakdown, the subsequent retest lacked strength, and the price kept pressing down to 0.04301. Now I’m up +21.28%, with the move showing obvious continuation.

The worst thing about this kind of trade is wanting to “eat the full meal” even after you’re in profit. Once the timing gets thrown off, the profit drawdown can be brutal. I’m taking profit in batches for now, using an 80/20 split to keep a tail position, and moving the protection level down accordingly.

If you missed it, don’t rush. Don’t chase a short just because you see profits, and don’t chase trades—wait for the next spot with stronger certainty.
