This short position finally paid off. When $SAHARA was pushed down from the highs, many people were still staring at a rebound. At the time, I was watching the failed breakout after resistance got rejected—right after the move, volume expanded and then couldn’t carry it through.



After entering around 0.03743, the price didn’t give a strong snap-back. Instead, it kept dragging lower all the way to 0.00959. Now the unrealized profit on the position is +3581.93%. To put it plainly, this isn’t luck—the market rhythm has already changed. The buy side can’t hold, and the weaker the rebound is, the more easily shorts can release downside.

What truly confirmed it for me was that mid-way fake pull: they couldn’t push it up, and it was quickly hammered back down. That shows there’s heavy overhead sell pressure. Many people wanted to chase longs at that moment—I chose to keep holding the short.

Now the profit is already on the books. If your position is heavy, you can consider managing it in batches with an 80/20 split: lock in part first, then push your protection level downward—don’t let the profit you’ve secured get erased by back-and-forth whipsaw. If you haven’t gotten in, don’t force a chase; the current level isn’t the most comfortable entry point. Wait for the next opportunity.
