This pull-down didn’t come unexpectedly. The prior rebounds also never held, so my focus is on the continuation after sustained pressure at the high level. The worst thing in trading is getting thrown off by short-term whipsaws, so this time I care more about structural feedback.

The short position on $XLM was entered around 0.20037. When price moved to 0.18306, the short side’s room started to be realized, and the account’s unrealized profit was +612.98%. There wasn’t much fancy decision-making in the process—just watching whether, after the rebound failed, downside pressure kept getting released.

My observation is that in a weak market, the most important thing isn’t that it drops fast, but that each attempted recovery lacks follow-through. After profits come out, you also need to prioritize protection—don’t let emotions disrupt the original trading rhythm.

If you didn’t catch this move, there’s no need to rush. The market changes every day—maintaining clear judgment matters more than chasing volatility.
