This drop came fast, but I didn’t enter a short just because I saw a big bearish candle. Before that, the price kept surging up and then pulling back repeatedly. It looked quite strong on the surface, but in reality every time it was lifted, there was no follow-through. What I cared about more at that level wasn’t the brief “heat”—it was the real support/absorption.

After I first started shorting, the market didn’t move in my favor right away. Instead, it went through a grinding chop, which almost made me doubt whether I was too early. The hardest part was watching the rebound lift little by little higher. I had short positions, but I didn’t dare to add recklessly—I could only keep watching whether it would truly hold.

In the end, a subsequent sell-off candle smashed the rhythm completely. The price kept pressing lower in succession, and this trade finally captured {$WLFI _MULTIPLE}x worth of space. At that moment, it wasn’t excitement—more like relief that I hadn’t gotten shaken out early just because of a few wick spikes.

A lot of the time, shorts aren’t made because someone’s bold—it’s because they can tell the difference between a rebound and a reversal. When it looks strong but nobody steps in, it’s often more worth paying attention to than a simple drop. This feedback made me trust that shorting logic even more.
