I thought I’d have to spend this night grinding it out until it finally lulled me to sleep. But after my last glance before bed, the chart flipped its behavior outright. A few days ago, before sleeping, $HBAR was still probing repeatedly at the high level; when I opened it again, the price had already reached 0.07166, and the shorts cashed out decisively.

Back then, I wasn’t getting carried along by those few surge candles. What I saw was that volume didn’t keep up, while sell pressure kept increasing—every time it tried to push higher, it was forced back down. Before the chart had fully started moving, I reminded myself to watch the pressure level and execute a long around 0.08855; I was waiting for this breakdown to loosen.

My review profit so far is +1359.81%. The answer is already right in front of me. The waiting beforehand wasn’t wasted—what feels truly comfortable isn’t guessing correctly, but being able to handle things according to plan after entering.

This time, take profit on 80% first, and protect the remaining 20% at the cost basis. If the decline continues, let the profits keep running. If there’s a retracement, don’t stubbornly hold on, and definitely don’t mess up the momentum you’ve already locked in just for the final bite.

Risk management done upfront is called being rational; cutting losses after things go wrong is called a soldier’s broken wrist. For uncertain market conditions, a quick look keeps you clear-headed—acting impulsively is just foolish. If you miss it, don’t chase; wait until a new structure forms, then reassess.
