This round of $AZTEC short positions is really satisfying—here’s the result first: from 0.02762 down to now 0.01418, the profit is already +1193.24%.

But what really matters isn’t how far this leg dropped, it’s the earlier attempts at the high that failed to hold. When price surged upward, the follow-on crowd was excited—but as soon as it hit the key zone, it was pushed back down. That shows there’s ongoing distribution above. A lot of people only look at the superficial rebound; I care more about whether there’s follow-through after the rebound. The answer is obvious—there isn’t.

So this short wasn’t a temporary impulse—it was taken only after the structure weakened. Now that the market has released its downside space, the trading rhythm has already shifted from pumping to pressing down. If you keep holding, do it with discipline.

Those with larger positions can take profit in batches with an 80/20 split—first protect the gains, and then let the rest follow with your protective levels. Don’t let a single counter-rally wipe out the unrealized profit. If you haven’t entered yet, don’t rush—trading isn’t about grabbing the last bite. Don’t chase; wait for the next time there’s a clear, high-confidence signal.
