A few days ago this dip was a bit like a small storyline. Before $EWY moved down, it had been grinding near the top for half a day; on the surface it looked like it still wanted to push higher. But in reality, every time it surged up, there wasn’t much buying to meet it. What I had been watching was that spot around 198.58—the area that kept getting pressed and couldn’t break through.

Going short wasn’t immediately comfortable either. It swung back and forth a few times in between. The most annoying part was that it didn’t drop in a clean, decisive way—it kept giving people the feeling that it might pull back. If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you know at times like this the biggest fear is that you’ll suddenly get emotional. The direction may not be wrong, but your hands start shaking first.

Later, the price was slowly pushed down to around 176.28. This short position was basically worked out—paper gains came back at +275.25%. Honestly, when you’re making money, you’re even more likely to overthink. You’re afraid of taking too little, and also afraid of a pullback that makes you吐 everything back.

What I care about more is that for these high-level pressure trades, once you’ve taken what you’re supposed to take, don’t force a bigger “stand.” If the market gives you the meat, be happy—but don’t hand back control.
