A few days ago, while monitoring the chart, the most obvious feeling was that $VELVET couldn’t hold the top. The price started trading around 1.66025, then kept pressing lower. A few times I tried to bounce back, but in the end it never managed to hold.

This kind of market is really a test of patience, because it doesn’t just dump suddenly to show you—it grinds down slowly, making many people doubt whether their short positions might be wrong. Later it gradually moved to 0.63122, with a return of +615.14%. Only then did I feel like this trade was actually timed right.

Honestly, halfway through, I also had thoughts about exiting early, especially after those pullbacks, which can easily make you feel uneasy. But trading isn’t about who’s bolder; it’s more about whether you can execute according to the original plan.

Now my idea is: after you’ve realized the short, don’t chase and add more. If you already have profits, protect them first. Missing the second half is better than having your rhythm thrown off by a counter-rally.
