Many people get more afraid of shorting the deeper the drop, and the more the rebound, the more they feel like buying. This is the place on the chart where it’s easiest to harvest people.

$PIPPIN this time I look at it the other way around: around 0.0197 is not a place to chase longs, but a short opportunity after heavy pressure at the high. At the time, what I was watching was the rebound strength—price couldn’t push higher, but the pullback was very decisive. Something was already off here. After that, it kept moving all the way to 0.0163, and the short position profit was +329.83%. The room for volatility opened up beautifully.

A contrarian approach isn’t about hard-against-the-market. It’s about seeing whether the majority’s most comfortable setup on the chart is starting to turn. Many people are still waiting for a pullback to the higher area. As a result, sell pressure gets layered down one after another— the more they hesitate, the more passive they become.

My handling now is simple: 80/20, stagger the entries. First, lock in most of the profit, and then keep the rest with protective levels for observation. If it accelerates again, I’ll follow the momentum to take a look; if it doesn’t, I won’t linger.

If you didn’t get on board, don’t rush to buy more tickets. Don’t chase shorts—wait for a more comfortable spot.
