That high level I was watching finally gave the answer today. Many people thought it was just normal volatility, but what I saw was that the rebound strength has been getting weaker and weaker—the buy pressure couldn’t hold up, and the shorts have started to gradually take control of the rhythm.

For this move in $VIRTUAL , I wasn’t reacting to the decline—I started observing its pressure around 0.7258. The key is right here: every time the price surges upward, it gets knocked back, which suggests the area above isn’t an opportunity zone, but more like a distribution zone. After the pullback confirmation, the short positions were able to be held on smoothly.

Now the price has come to 0.6202, and the unrealized P&L shows +1032.36%. The trading range for this stretch has clearly opened up. In plain terms, the rhythm has changed—those who were hesitating earlier were still waiting for a rebound, but the chart already moved one step ahead.

Handling after taking profit is more important than opening the position. Those with heavier exposure can realize profits in batches; keep the remaining position with a solid protection level, and don’t let a short-term snap-back throw you off.

If you missed it, don’t chase hard. Don’t chase trades—don’t chase an urgent sell-off either. Wait for the next time a position with stronger certainty shows up.
