This short position finally paid out. The drop from the high point of $GENIUS —many people were still waiting for a pullback to confirm. At the time, I wasn’t watching how much it fell; I was watching whether every rebound would fail to reclaim the level.

After entering around 0.6670, the chart kept tugging back and forth a few times. What truly convinced me to keep holding was that the key levels for the rebound kept getting lower, and the bids were clearly weak. People who chased longs started to hesitate—this structure was already off. Now the price is at 0.3338, and the unrealized profit on my position has reached +983.6%. The room in the market has been released very decisively.

What I fear most with this kind of sell-off profit isn’t not understanding—it’s being unwilling to take profits after you’ve made them. My approach is still to do an 80/20 split in portions: lock part of the main position first, and use the protection zone for the rest, letting the profit speak for itself.

If you haven’t entered, don’t get panicked just because it drops. Short positions are rhythm-based trades, not emotional retaliation. Don’t chase it—wait for the next rebound to give a more comfortable entry point.
