The best part of this trade isn’t that people only say “short” after it drops—it’s that you can tell as soon as the order book starts to weaken. When $ONDO was ranging sideways around the highs, many people were still waiting for it to keep pushing up. What I’m watching is the disappearance of support and the lack of follow-through on the bounce—something’s already not right here.

After opening a short around 0.4096, there were some back-and-forth moves in the process, especially on small time frame pullbacks, which can easily make people doubt their call. But the key point is that it never reclaimed the level again, which suggests the rebound is just a correction—not a change in direction. The biggest fear in trading is getting carried away by noise; what you really need to watch is whether the structure has been broken.

Now ONDO is at 0.3737, and the unrealized profit shows +427.96%. The market has already released enough upside potential/room. Once the profit reaches this level, traders with larger positions can take profit in batches at an 80/20 split, and use the remaining portion with protective levels to try to catch an extension—don’t hand the initiative back to the market.

This move is all about patience and discipline, not getting emotional. If you didn’t catch it, don’t rush—don’t chase; wait for the next more comfortable position to act.
