$CL ’s drop this time is very decisive. After that long period of consolidation at the high, many people thought it would just keep grinding higher—but the market actually showed problems long ago.

I opened this short position at 101.27. I wasn’t mainly looking at a single bearish candle; what mattered was that the high-level pullback kept getting weaker and weaker—volume couldn’t keep up, yet the price still couldn’t break higher. The key point is here: every time the bulls tried to push up, they were pushed back down. That indicates it’s not that no one is watching above—it’s that there are people steadily distributing and pressing sell-side pressure.

Now at 79.5, the return rate already shows +1999.24%. After the trading range has been released, the trade becomes much simpler. In the past, it was about waiting for signals; now it’s about how to protect your profits. Many people only realize after the drop that the best entry is often where most people still don’t believe.

My handling is still relatively conservative: 80/20 split entries. First, lock in the main profit, then keep the remaining position with a protection level to prevent a pullback from taking the gains back.

The market will continue to offer opportunities. If you miss it, don’t slap your own legs—don’t chase trades, don’t rush to add more shorts. Wait until the next opportunity appears and then act.
