This cut hit hard, and the short thesis that was being watched earlier has effectively been realized. $HBAR After it surged to a high earlier a few days ago, it was still trying to hold up on the surface, but the price action was already off. The rebound got weaker and weaker—once it hit resistance above, it dropped back down. Many people were still waiting for it to keep running higher, but I was instead more focused on whether it would start to lose momentum.

What really caught my attention was that HBAR kept failing to break through around 0.08855. The buy-side couldn’t keep up, while sell pressure stayed persistent. This level is crucial: if it can’t push through, it isn’t strong. Continuing to grind will only put the longs in an even more passive position. Later, when the price dropped to 0.06757, the short position profit was +1686.74%, and the room in the market was released very decisively.

On my side, I’ll handle it in batches following an 80/20 approach: lock in most of the profits first, then leave the remaining small position with protective levels in mind, watching for extension without stubbornly fighting the chart. Put simply, the rhythm has changed—after going into profit, you need to stay even calmer. If you didn’t get on the trade, don’t chase; wait for the next opportunity, and act only when you have a more comfortable entry.
