When price is high, don’t follow the crowd. Today’s short position gave a very direct response. $FF started weakening around 0.10466, and now it’s at 0.0679. On the account, what you see is +1691.46%, but more importantly, this judgment wasn’t thrown off by any fake pull or tug.

The most critical change on the order book is that after the push higher failed, it didn’t reclaim the level—instead, key positions began to move lower. At first, many people thought it was just sweeping. I wasn’t watching just a single line; I was watching the key support zone after the rebound. Once that zone weakened, short opportunities came up.

This kind of market action is the easiest to wear people down—dip a bit, then rally a bit—making you doubt the direction. But to be blunt, a strong market won’t repeatedly give you opportunities to escape at lows. A weak market will turn the rebound into a distribution window. Now the room for volatility has opened up, and the short has already completed a round of realization.

If you have positions, you can take profits first with an 80/20 approach. The remaining position should carry a breakeven protection level—don’t turn an actively profitable trade into a passive hold-and-hurt position.

If you haven’t entered, don’t act impulsively. The level that drops out isn’t necessarily good to chase. Wait until the next rebound meets resistance, then reassess.
