This short position finally paid off. The move $AIXBT pushed down from the high point made the tape’s feel very clear.

What really caught my attention at the time wasn’t how fast it dropped, but that the rebound never managed to hold steady. After providing the short entry around 0.03358, the funding repeatedly probed but still couldn’t push price upward—indicating that sell pressure above was still there. Back then, many people still wanted to wait for a bullish candle to repair things, but it was already off.

Now the price is at 0.01924, and this short’s profit has reached +1047.17%. The market’s room for movement has been released pretty decisively. The biggest fear in perps isn’t missing opportunities—it’s when opportunities show up and you still get carried away by emotions and chase blindly.

My approach is straightforward: 80/20 execute in batches. First lock in most of the profits, then keep the remaining small position with protection levels and watch for further extension. Once the profit is there, don’t get greedy—if you give back too much, it becomes meaningless.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t rush. Don’t chase shorts, and don’t randomly chase on a rebound. Wait for the next opportunity, and move only from a more comfortable level.
