That section of the grinding mill was really torturous, but the more this happens at such a position, the easier it is to get a big direction. $PEPE repeatedly holds at the high level; many people think it’s building energy for a breakout upward. But what I see is acceptance that gets increasingly weak—the pace has already been slowly turning bearish.

This short position started near 0.000003774. When I first entered, it wasn’t smooth at all—there was a bounce, stop-loss sweeps, and bull traps. But the key is right here: the bounce can’t go up, while the pullback keeps getting easier. Now the price is pressured down to 0.000002783, and the profit is already +1865.07%, with the move extending clearly.

I don’t like acting calm after getting into profit. Making money feels great, but execution can’t be messy. Here I handle it in batches using an 80/20 split: most of the profit is protected first, and the remaining position with the protection level continues to watch whether there’s more room below for further release. A contract isn’t about who shouts the hardest—it’s about who can hold the rhythm through changing conditions.

Now the risk-reward for chasing shorts at low levels is getting worse. If you miss it, let it pass. Don’t chase—wait for the next opportunity.
