That earlier market move looked quite strong. After the pump, however, it never really managed to build new support. Back then, I didn’t rush to get on board; instead, I waited for it to spike up and then pull back. I started observing a short position around 0.06816, and honestly I was a bit hesitant too, because the order book at one point made it easy to misjudge.

The most tormenting part was that the price stabbed upward several times, as if it were trying to wash out all the shorts. Luckily, I wasn’t taken along by those few false breakouts. After I had the protection level set and taken care of, I kept watching to see whether it could drop through the key level.

When the market moved to 0.05212, the review showed a result of +1134%. This time, I handled it in stages using an 80/20 split. I neither got knocked out by random short-term rebounds, nor did I chase a new short after the sell-off began. The pacing was much more comfortable than simply holding and enduring.

Once you’ve spent enough time in the crypto market, you’ll know that real weakness doesn’t necessarily start by dumping down right away. Very often, it looks strong, but no one is willing to take the other side. Looking back now, the profit from this short wasn’t luck—it came from waiting until the high was truly under pressure and was validated for real.
