When many people see $BCH get dumped from the highs, their first reaction is to think about shorting—but this time, I actually waited a bit. When the price was around 345.75, there had already been consecutive attempts to push higher followed by pullbacks. What I cared about more was whether there would be follow-through after the bounce, not how scary the bearish candles looked.

After waiting through a few rounds, the answer became clearer and clearer: the rebounds got shorter and shorter, while the sell pressure became more and more direct. Even though there were pullbacks with quick wick pushes in the middle, it felt more like shaking out the uncommitted; the underlying weakness wasn’t truly changed. So I didn’t act impulsively when I was most panicked.

When the price dropped back to 209.27, the results showed +2800.87%. The most worth revisiting part of this trade isn’t how much profit it made—it’s that I didn’t lose my head and chase in after the move had already started. I gave myself time to confirm.

In the crypto world, missing the first leg isn’t the scary part. What’s scary is forcing yourself to catch a falling knife just to make up for being left behind. The heavy pressure at the highs has already been repeatedly validated by the trading action; what’s left is to respect the rhythm—don’t let impulse replace judgment.
