That fake pump during the session is really easy to pull people in, but when I looked at it afterward, all I felt was two words: hollow.

When $POL surged, it didn’t break out cleanly at all; instead, it kept getting pushed back repeatedly near the key level. Many people were influenced by the short-term rebound and thought it could surge for another stretch. What I saw was whether the rhythm had changed. After the price got close to 0.08969, the volume didn’t follow through, and the support wasn’t firm. Once the market loses a key level like this, the downside comes very quickly.

Looking back now, 0.08262 has clearly cashed out this leg of the shorts, with +559.32% in hand. The room for volatility has opened up, and the waiting before wasn’t wasted. I won’t pretend I timed a perfect top. Trading is about capturing certainty, not guessing the key moment.

Profits have already been released; next, the focus is protection, not getting carried away. If possible, scale out in batches, and then observe with the remaining position using protective levels. If you didn’t participate, don’t be jealous—there are always market opportunities. Don’t chase; wait for the next, clearer signal.
