This short position is relatively smooth. After $AZTEC faced resistance in the high range, it didn’t give the longs too much more room. People who were hesitating earlier are still waiting for a rebound confirmation, but the market has already smashed the direction first.

Before the signal came out, I’d already noticed changes: $AZTEC repeatedly failed to push higher around 0.02762, especially with the pullback speed faster than the rise. I wouldn’t stubbornly hold onto a long narrative in a place like this. To put it plainly, the rhythm has changed. A strong market wouldn’t keep repeating like this and give people a chance to escape. Once key levels loosen, the selloff is likely to accelerate.

Now the price has reached 0.01383. The short position’s profit is +1218.98%, and the available volatility range is clearly opened. Here I choose an 80/20 approach for staged handling: the bulk take profit first to lock in gains, while a small portion continues to follow. The protective stop must be placed properly—don’t, just because you want to grab the last segment, give back the profits you already saw materialize earlier.

Trading fears not only being right and not acting, but also being wrong and then chasing wildly. The current short is already realized—if you didn’t enter, don’t chase a short. Wait patiently for the next opportunity to show up.
