After this round of $CTR ’s drop played out, the most satisfying part isn’t the drawdown itself—but that my earlier judgment has finally been confirmed by what the market is showing.

My short entered at 0.02080. At the time, I wasn’t rushing in because I saw a green line; rather, every pullback from the high was looking increasingly hard to handle. A lot of people are still waiting for a second push higher. What I saw was pressure becoming more and more obvious: buy orders couldn’t hold, and once the price breaks down, it’s easy to amplify the move along the way. Now the current price is 0.00829, and my profit is +1184.23%. The trend extension is clear, and the rhythm of closing and realizing the short position is still relatively clean.

This kind of market tests human nature the most. Before the drop, you don’t dare short; after the drop, you end up wanting to chase. The key is right here: the people who can truly hold onto their profits aren’t the ones with the most aggressive emotions, but the ones who have already thought through how to handle things in advance.

If you currently have positions, you can do an 80/20 split in batches—first protect the main profits, and then use your protection level to manage the rest while watching the market. If you haven’t entered, don’t rush to add—chasing lower is very passive. Wait for the next time a more certain opportunity comes along.
