This short trade was taken very comfortably. $CGPT shifted from fake strength at the high to turning weak—the rhythm change is extremely clear.

At the beginning, the market still looked pretty stubborn. One rebound after another; many people thought it would keep surging upward. But what really got my attention was this: every time the price pushed higher, it failed to hold the gain—meanwhile, the lower end kept getting pressed down deeper and deeper. This kind of anti-expectation is the easiest setup to trigger a big move.

I chose to open a short around 0.02421, not because of an emotional impulse, but because the structure had clearly changed. Now the price is at 0.01833; the return rate is already +1171.62%. Once the room for volatility opened up, the speed at which shorts locked in profits was even more decisive than I expected.

One thing to say here: when you’re in profit, you need to stay calm even more. If your position is light, you can keep an eye on the protection level. If your position is heavy, bro, don’t get greedy—handling it with an 82/18 staged approach feels better: lock in the profits first, then follow the market with what’s left. Don’t wait until the rebound comes back and then remember that, actually, you already had a profit-taking window just now.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t chase it. Don’t chase longs, and don’t chase shorts down into the low. Wait for the next time at a more certain position.
