This leg of the sell-off has been the worst not because of the size of the drop itself, but because it looked way too much like it was about to break out. $POL has been grinding at the top for a while; after watching for a long time, many people may misread it as accumulation of momentum. I think the opposite—it’s more it grinds, the more dangerous it gets, because the upside still can’t be absorbed, and the support hasn’t gotten stronger.

What truly caught my attention was that after POL hit around 0.08969, every time the price tried to move up it would miss a step, and then the pullback speed kept getting faster. Something is off here. A strong market would not repeatedly give short-term selling pressure opportunities like this. The main players’ rhythm is clearly baiting the late buyers into going in first.

Now it’s hit 0.08307, and this short position’s profit has been updated to +523.72%. After the volatility range opens up, the shorts are cashing out very smoothly. Brothers with bigger positions—don’t just stare at the numbers for fun. Use an 80/20 approach to process in batches: first put the profits in your pocket, and keep the remaining position with a protective level to see whether it continues to probe lower.

Eating just this part is already comfortable enough. If you didn’t get it, don’t chase—wait for the next opportunity.
