This short position finally paid off. The moment $VIRTUAL got pushed down from the highs, I knew this move wasn’t just a normal pullback.

I entered at 0.7258, and now the price has dropped to 0.6429. Currently my return is +809.46%. The most important thing in this trade isn’t to chase lower, but whether you dare to take a stand on the weak side when it’s under pressure at the highs. Back then, many people were still waiting for a bounce to keep pushing higher. What I saw instead was continuous high-volume selling up top without any breakout—the bid side clearly couldn’t keep up.

What really caught my attention was that every time the price rose, it did so with difficulty; but when it sold off downward, it was much more decisive. That’s when I knew the rhythm had changed. Holding the short until now, the market’s downward room for release has become fairly obvious.

On my end, I’ll handle it in batches using an 80/20 approach: take profits on most first, and keep the remainder with a protective level while watching for further extension. If you have a position, don’t let your gains retrace too much. If you missed the entry, don’t rush—don’t chase trades, and don’t chase lows. Just wait for the next more comfortable setup.
