The harshest part of this move isn’t that it dropped fast—it’s that it grinds down everyone who was hesitant first. $SHIB It had been consolidating at the high for a long time. A lot of people watched it not falling and wanted to chase more, but what I was watching then was that the rebounds kept getting shorter, the upward push kept getting more hollow, and the sell orders near the resistance level never really moved.

The key is right here: the chart didn’t suddenly weaken—it had already shown signs of fatigue early on. When SHIB was around 0.000005663, I followed the short-side rhythm and opened a long. The logic was simple: if it can’t get back up, then just see how it has to play out on the downside.

Now the price has hit 0.000004232. This trade is already up +1792.99%, and the room for volatility has clearly opened up. After closing the shorts, I won’t get impulsive again. Once the profit is out, it needs to be managed. Doing it in batches with an 80/20 split is steadier—most of it locks in first, and a smaller portion with a protective level for continued observation.

You don’t have to fully take profit in every leg. If you can catch the main move, that’s enough. After that, if it continues to extend, I’ll reassess—but if there’s no good position, I won’t force a chase. I won’t chase trades; I’ll wait for the next opportunity with stronger certainty.
