Many people were still waiting for a rebound just now, but the market directly answered instead. $PIPPIN has been hovering at a high level for so long—on the surface it looks like consolidation, but in reality every time it attempted to push higher it got pressed back down. The key is right here: control has been gradually shifting away from the bulls.

After opening a short position around 0.0197, I didn’t get shaken by the small mid-way pull-ups, because that kind of rise doesn’t last—it’s just shaking out and making people hesitate. Now the price is at 0.0168; the +279.85% move has already been realized, and the room for the move has released very clearly.

At this point, the most important thing isn’t how loudly you call it, but how to protect your profits. Those with larger positions should start by doing an 80/20 staged exit—first handle the main position, and then leave the remainder with a protective level to watch for continuation. Even if you’re lightly positioned, don’t blindly add just because you’re in profit; the more smooth it gets, the cooler you need to stay.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t be in a rush—don’t chase shorts. Wait for the next time a clear, high-certainty level appears.
