This wave is once again a typical bull trap at the top that then pulls back. On $AIXBT it looks very lively above, but the moment it pushes up, it gets suppressed. The moment many people chase in, the shorts end up with even better positioning.

I entered this short around 0.03358. Now the price has dropped to 0.01875, and my profit is +1093.18%. What truly made me confirm it was that the earlier push upward didn’t bring out sustained buying pressure—instead, there were continuous long upper wicks, which shows the capital above doesn’t want to keep the baton going. The structure has clearly changed.

This kind of market is the most demanding on patience. Don’t get flustered the moment you see it turn green, and don’t only regret it after it drops. Before the signal showed up, I’d already been observing the changes, but actually executing meant waiting for the failed retest. Now the room for volatility has opened up—if you have a position, you can take profit in batches using an 80/20 split, and keep the remaining portion with a protective level to give the price action a bit more space to extend.

Don’t turn profitable trades into emotional trades. Once the short is realized, take it if you can, hold if you can. If you didn’t get on board, don’t rush—don’t chase. Wait for the next opportunity, and wait for a more comfortable position.
