$XPL ’s surge is really encouraging. The longer it churns before picking a direction, the faster the realization comes once it decides. At the start, many people thought it was only a retracement, but after the price held steady, the shorts clearly started to get caught off guard.

I’ve been holding this long position since 0.08436. There were a few times I felt they wanted to shake people out—especially that fake breakdown. It looked scary, but the low-level support held and nothing really broke. What truly confirmed it for me was the speed of the pullback. A weak market wouldn’t continuously repair like this.

Now the price is at 0.08758, and the profit is already +265.97%. The trend extension is obvious. This isn’t to make you blindly excited—it’s a reminder to myself that after judging the realization, I also need to know how to manage the position; otherwise, paper profits can easily turn into emotional swings.

I’ll first take out 70%, and the remaining 30% will be watched with a protective level. If it keeps moving up, let the profits run for a bit; if it weakens, exit according to discipline. Don’t chase after missing this move—there will be opportunities every day. Wait for the next one, and act again at a more comfortable level.
