The most interesting part of the order book is that it first made most people lower their guard. Before $MON , it had been creeping up slowly, looking like it was about to break out; what truly caught my attention was that the rebound lacked follow-through strength. The closer the price got to the key levels, the more clearly I could feel that someone was pressing down from above—the structure had noticeably changed.

Back then, the MON coin hovered around 0.02670. Many people were still waiting for it to keep pushing higher, but what I was watching was the speed of the pullback after the attempt failed. As long as it spikes high and no one steps in to buy, and the retracement doesn’t drag on, the shorts get a chance to take over the pace. Trading isn’t about who can shout the loudest—it’s about who can stand in the right position when the change first appears.

Now it has already traded down to 0.0216, and the short position profit is +921.67%, with the market’s room for movement released very clearly. Here, I don’t want to take profits and gamble on sentiment. For those with larger positions, take profit in batches first, and keep a portion to see whether the support level can be held. If you miss it, don’t chase—especially don’t hard-chase a short after acceleration. Don’t pursue trades; wait for the next time a more certain opportunity appears.
