This short setup is very clean. $AZTEC couldn’t hold its profit expectations at the high level, and in the end it still moved downward.

What I was watching at the time was the reaction after the key level above was repeatedly tested, not chasing just because it dropped. Around 0.02690, once the price reached that zone, the order book already looked a bit off: the push upward didn’t have follow-through, but the pullback got faster and faster. That kind of contrast is exactly what traders should focus on.

Now the price is at 0.01363, and the return rate has reached +1210.59%—the move has clearly extended. A lot of people were still debating whether to chase the long earlier; the result was that one pullback broke the timing straight through. If you get the direction wrong, it’s really uncomfortable.

After you’re in profit, you should actually stay calm. For those with larger positions, handle it in batches: keep a portion to see whether there’s still momentum pushing the price down, while also moving the protective level up—don’t hand back the upside control you’ve already taken.

The market is always there. If you missed it, there’s no need to chase. Don’t chase on rebounds—wait for a more comfortable level.
