This short position could be taken down—what mattered wasn’t that I can guess better, but that the previous spike up and rejection at the high wasn’t used to trick me into getting in on the surface-level strength. Earlier, the price kept grinding around 2111.63. It looked like the bids were still there; in reality, every time it tried to push up, someone would hit it with sell orders. Anyone chasing longs had just gotten on board when the market started to turn around and drop.

The most uncomfortable part was the middle segment: the price repeatedly poked through with wick “needles,” and my short position was even at one point close to being unable to hold. I wasn’t watching a single bearish candle—I was watching for the change where the rebound got weaker and the selling pressure got heavier. So I didn’t panic just because there was a brief pull-up.

When the price finally reached 1859.61, the earlier judgment was finally confirmed by the order book. This result is recorded as +2074.43%. Honestly, profit is just the outcome. What really made me feel at ease was not getting shaken out by a fake breakout.

In crypto, if you’ve been in the market long enough, you’ll know that when prices are under pressure at the highs, it’s easiest to make people itchy and chase longs. If you see a spike up, don’t rush to jump in—first see whether the support can keep up continuously. Once the rhythm is right, the shorts will naturally give you feedback.
