This sell-off feels so good—$TAO finally smashed out the space that was being held back earlier.

I entered my short around 270.4. At that time, the most obvious change on the chart wasn’t that it was falling, but that it couldn’t push up. Repeated tests above failed to hold—buyers looked lively, but the follow-through got weaker and weaker. A lot of people hadn’t reacted yet; they only saw a short-term rally, not the sell pressure building underneath.

Now the price has dropped to 197. This gain is +1307.24%. Once the volatility range opened up, the shorts’ rhythm fell into place. Taking profit on the downside isn’t chasing red candles—it’s locking in your position before the structure turns weaker, then letting the market give you the answer itself.

For now, I’ll process the profit once first. An 80/20 staged approach is more suitable for this kind of fast selloff segment, and the remaining position will follow using protective levels. Don’t rush in just because you see someone else making money. If you missed it, wait for the next opportunity—move again only when it’s at a more comfortable level.
