This short is very comfortable. The strong “forcing it while it’s high” feeling from $IRYS showed up, and I knew I couldn’t keep looking at it from a long-side mindset anymore. On the surface it’s still grinding sideways, but in reality every time there’s an upside push from above, it gets pressed back down. The rhythm has already shifted toward the sellers.

The key is around 0.03013. It’s not that there hasn’t been a bounce before—there just hasn’t been quality. What really got my attention is that the price couldn’t be pushed up, while the key area started to loosen. This kind of market structure is the easiest to suddenly see a heavy volume breakdown. Now it’s moved to 0.01298, +1119.44% taken, and the room for the trade has been released more smoothly than expected.

If you have positions, don’t just stare at the profit number now—protecting your profits is the priority. I’ll handle it with an 80/20 approach: first take some off with stops, and then let the rest follow using the protection levels. If it can continue, let it run; if it can’t, don’t get fixated on it.

You don’t have to catch every move in trading. If you miss it, don’t chase. Don’t chase a rebound order—wait patiently for the next opportunity to show up.
