This drop is very typical: first lure people into the high zone, then start continuously selling pressure. The $LAB short position has gone from 4.25647 to now; the price is already at 0.22403, +1865.35% in profit—this is the most comfortable execution rhythm in contracts.

What really caught my attention is that spike-and-retrace candle. On the surface it looks like a breakout, but above it is all sell pressure. Once it’s pushed up, it can’t hold—indicating the capital is simply not willing to keep taking it higher. I already noticed this area earlier; once the signal came out, I only do one thing: follow the weakness and don’t fight it with emotion.

There are also bounces in the middle, but each bounce is reaching a lower height. Something is already off here. A lot of people see a small bullish candle and want to buy the rebound—then every time the price is lifted, it becomes an even better pressure point. The shorts’ rhythm keeps getting smoother.

Now the unrealized profit is already pretty significant. Taking profit in 80/20 batches is pretty steady; the rest should be held with protection levels. I’m not afraid it continues to fall—I’m only afraid the profit drawdown gets too large and affects my judgment.

If you miss this leg, don’t chase the lows either. The market isn’t short of opportunities—wait for the next cleaner setup.
