This $HYPE trade, honestly, I wasn’t that confident at the start either. When it was moving sideways at the high, the chart looked like it might break out, then got pushed back—this is where it’s easiest for people to keep changing their minds.



Later, I focused on just one point: if it couldn’t keep pushing up above 65.937, then I wouldn’t keep “telling the story” to it. After going short, it wasn’t immediately comfortable either—there were pullbacks, pauses, and even moments where I wanted to get out. The good news is that eventually the price slowly worked down to 63.417, and the P&L shows +273.87%.

What really tests this kind of trade isn’t just nerve—it’s not letting short-term volatility throw you off. The direction is right, but holding through it is hard, especially when the profit first comes out—you always worry that if it rebounds, it’ll disappear.

My own handling is simple: first protect the cost, then see whether there’s still room ahead. In crypto, too many trades don’t lose because they picked the wrong direction—they lose after they start making money, when they suddenly want to take “one more bite.”
