This one was really great to get. After $AVAX was suppressed at the highs and then cashed out, the short position profits finally got realized along with the selloff.

I wasn’t excited just because it hit 6.707—the real key was around 9.312. In that area, repeated attempts to push higher failed. On the surface it looked like it was still propping itself up, but in reality it had already started to weaken. I’d already been watching this level; before the signal came out, the most obvious change was that rebounds became shorter and pullbacks became faster—the structure clearly shifted.

From the entry price to the current price, the return is +1984.95%, and the move has extended notably. Back then, many people were still imagining it would keep pumping. But the market flipped downward instead; going against expectations is often the easiest place to open up profits. Trading isn’t about going all-in and fighting hard every day—it’s about not hesitating when it’s time to act, and not pretending you didn’t see when it’s time to take profit.

For this trade, I’ll handle it first in an 80/20 staged manner: most of the profit will be taken, and the remaining small position will be kept for protection. If it keeps dropping, I’ll stay in; if it stabilizes, I’ll exit.

If you have a position, protect your profits. If you don’t, don’t chase the trade, and don’t rush to buy the dip either—wait for a more comfortable level.
