This short trade was really comfortable. At first, $CTR looked like it was still holding up hard, but in reality it couldn’t hold anymore. From opening at 0.02080 to now 0.00811, the return rate is +1200.32%. The market’s downside room was released faster than expected, which shows the heavy selling pressure at the high wasn’t “put on.”

The most anti-human part at the time was that when the chart hadn’t fully broken down yet, many people still thought it could rally one more time. But what I saw was a rebound with shrinking volume, more and more upper wicks, and weaker and weaker follow-through. Things were already off here. Once the breakdown was truly confirmed and hit, that’s when the hesitant started chasing—then the rhythm was completely different.

Now I’ll publicly talk about my position: for the short, I’m not trying to go all-in and dream. I’ll lock part of it with an 80/20 split first, and keep the rest with a protective level to continue watching. The profit is already in hand; the next step is protection, not randomly adding. If the move extends further, I’ll follow along; if it doesn’t, I’ll accept it.

Missing it shouldn’t make you anxious. Don’t chase shorts, and don’t chase trades—just wait patiently for the next cleaner spot.
