This short setup feels relatively comfortable. After $ETH was pushed down from its highs, the rhythm never got disrupted. At first glance, the fluctuations didn’t look big, but what I really focused on was the quality of the rebound. A few attempts to push higher still couldn’t hold, which shows that resistance above has started to loosen.

The short entry is 2185.21, and the current price is 1856.93, with profit at +2611.99%. The most valuable part of this move is that you could spot signs of longs losing strength before the breakdown—rather than waiting for a big bearish candle to appear and then realizing too late to chase.

At the time, many people were still waiting for the pullback to continue higher, and even thought the retracement was just normal shakeout. But what I saw was that every rally was being suppressed, and the key area was slowly shifting lower. This level is crucial: once the structure turns from ranging into weakness, the following decline is more likely to unfold with continuity.

Now that the profits have been released, there’s no need to push the tempo too hard. For those with larger positions, you can handle it in batches with an 80/20 split—first take back the initiative, and then keep the remaining portion with protective levels based on how much room the volatility opens up. If you miss this round, don’t rush. Don’t hard-chase a short at low levels—wait for the next time a more certain, higher-quality setup appears.
