This short trade was pretty clean and smooth. After $RENDER was pushed down from the high, the previous “hard-pull” rhythm was basically interrupted.

I’m not chasing only because it’s falling. Before the signal came out, I’d already observed the change: the higher it pushed, the more it looked hollow up top, while the key area instead started to loosen. Something wasn’t right here. After entering a short around 2.0071, the focus was whether it could break open the downside space—but the chart didn’t drag or hesitate. It directly delivered a downward extension.

Now the price is 1.4905, and the profit shows +1239.75%. The trend extension is obvious. A lot of people complained earlier that the short entry was slow, but when it finally dropped, they didn’t dare to take it. This is the most real human contradiction in the middle of trading. Holding it isn’t because the nerves are big—it’s because you’ve already figured out the invalidation level in advance.

For now, I’ll handle this with an 80/20 split: lock in the larger portion of the profits first, and keep the rest trailing with protection, so a single bounce back doesn’t let you give back the hard-won space you managed to capture.

If you haven’t boarded yet, don’t rush to chase. Chasing a short at low prices is very passive. Wait for the next opportunity—wait for a more comfortable entry.
