Many people were still shouting about a rebound just now, but the chart directly gave the answer—this is short-term profit-taking by the bears after heavy pressure at a high level.

$CL for this round: I watched it long ago. The real key wasn’t the moment it broke down, but the fact that earlier multiple attempts to push higher failed to hold the price. I chose to go short around 101.27 because the rebound strength clearly shortened; once volume picked up, it was pushed back down. This isn’t a strong consolidation anymore—it’s a change of direction.

Now the current price is 79.32, and the short position’s profit is already up to +2014.84%. The move has extended obviously. For brothers with heavy positions, don’t just stare at whether it might keep dropping. Once profits are realized, handle part of them first; the rest should follow the market with a protective level—this will keep your mindset much more stable.

The easiest place for the market to deceive you is when, right before a rapid drop, it still gives you a bit of hope. My approach is simple: take what you’re supposed to take, and don’t be greedy for the final leg. If you didn’t get on the train, don’t force a chase—if you miss a move, don’t pursue it. Wait for the next opportunity.
