Honestly, today’s dip is very counterintuitive— the higher $LINK looks like it’s “being strong,” the easier it is to trick people into getting in.

My short position is at 9.750. Now the price is down to 8.268, and the return is +1079.25%. Back then, many people were still watching for a breakout. What I was watching was the reaction after the spike: the price couldn’t go up, but the pullback kept getting faster—this already felt wrong.

The easiest way to lose money is in moments like this: seeing a bullish candle and rushing to chase it. Then once resistance confirms up above, the shorts immediately take over the rhythm. The chart moves from testing to a sell-off—very quickly. The ones who can truly catch it are the people who see the rhythm ahead of time.

After this wave opens up the range, I’ll first handle it in batches with an 80/20 approach, keeping the remaining position with protection levels, to see if there’s a chance for further extension. The short has already been realized, so there’s no need to emotionally add to the position. If you miss it, you miss it—no chasing longs, no chasing shorts. I’ll wait for the next more comfortable level.
