In the early session, this sudden sell-off directly exposed the fake strength from a few days ago.

$ETH It had been moving sideways at high levels for days; on the surface it didn’t look weak, but I was watching the details: the spike-ups weren’t supported by sustained volume, while the pullback was decisive—every time it bounced, it looked like someone was pressing down to sell from above. Many people hesitated about whether to chase longs; at the time, I wanted more to wait for it to confirm the short side.

Before the signal came out, I’d already observed the change: ETH around 2118.05 couldn’t hold, and the structure clearly changed. That’s the key—strong markets won’t repeatedly fail to break higher, and they also won’t, after breaking down, fail to produce even a decent rebound.

Now the market is down to 1888.66, and the short position is up +1007.06%. The room for volatility has opened up; this leg of the sell-off has already given ample feedback on the downside pace. Once you have profit, don’t get carried away—lock in part of it in batches first, and keep the rest following the price with a protective level.

At this kind of position, I won’t chase a short, and I won’t gamble on key levels. If you miss out, wait for the next opportunity—only a comfortable setup is worth taking action.
