Watching $AVAX fall during this leg—the most frustrating part isn’t the direction, it’s that it keeps getting pulled back and forth at the high end. It looks like it might bounce back, but every time it gets pushed up, nobody’s willing to take the orders. What I was watching was exactly that oppressive pressure.

I opened the short at 6.582 and took it down to the current price 6.434. The unrealized profit rate is already +160.62%. Honestly, there were a few times in the middle when I almost wanted to close early, especially those sudden upward fake moves—they can easily mess with your mindset.

For this trade, I didn’t plan to try to hold the whole run. I would take 80/20 first—handle part of it, and keep the rest with a protected stop level. If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you’ll know that when you’re making money, the scariest thing is suddenly getting overexcited. Even when your direction is right, you can still give it all back at the end just because you’re greedy.

What I care about more is whether I’m timing the rhythm correctly. When it’s under pressure at the highs, if the short can get realized, take control first. If there’s actually more room later, then see whether it gives you a comfortable spot.
