I was still thinking before bed that this range would keep moving sideways. But when I checked again the next morning, the shorts had already released all the key levels. A few days ago, before bed, $HBAR was swaying back and forth above—calm on the surface, but in reality the bid-side was weakening more and more each time.

When I watched HBAR, my focus wasn’t whether it would rebound, but whether it could stand its ground after the rebound. In the end, every time it was pulled up, it only came up short by a breath—there wasn’t enough follow-through. Meanwhile, sell pressure kept showing up. So at around 0.08855, I executed a long, waiting for the confirmation that would come after price loosened from the higher level to cash in.

The current price has pulled back to 0.07208, with a return rate of +1319.74%. This trade had no tricks. When I saw a no-volume/near-zero-volume push, I didn’t chase. When I saw suppression overhead, I waited. Once the opportunity appeared, I made my move.

Protect profits first: close out at +1319.74% first, then set the remaining 20% within the cost-protection range. If it keeps dropping, I’ll hold along with the move. If it bounces back, I won’t let the unrealized gains feel uncomfortable. Position management matters more than emotions.

I’d rather miss one sprint than be repeatedly harvested over and over in a range. If you haven’t entered yet, don’t rush to add. Chasing after a fast drop is just as dangerous. Wait for good news—make your next move only when the next structure is clear.
