That key level I was watching finally gave the answer today. I took a short on $ADA from 0.2438 to the current 0.164, profit +2322.49%. This wasn’t luck—it was normal realization after repeated failed attempts to test the high.

At the beginning, a lot of people still thought it was just a small pullback, and even some were waiting for a continued push. But the most obvious issue on the chart is that the rally becomes increasingly difficult, while the pullback becomes increasingly smooth. Once this kind of rhythm shows up, I know the bulls’ initiative has already weakened. The key is here: it’s not a sudden drop—first, the price loses its ability to push higher.

The short profit has already been realized, and the extension in price action is clear. For brothers holding positions, don’t just stare at floating gains—push your protection level down first. Taking profit in 80/20 batches is also fine. The remaining position can continue to follow the bearish momentum, but don’t fantasize about eating it all in one bite. If you miss it, don’t chase—markets don’t lack opportunities. Don’t chase trades; wait for the next signal to be cleaner.
