This stretch of market action was actually pretty tormenting. The price kept oscillating around 0.05162—there was no satisfying pump, and it didn’t fully break down and crash either. At the time, I even wondered if I was misreading things, especially seeing others chase other coins and take profits. Feeling itchy to trade is normal, but I didn’t pivot on the fly.

What I cared about more then was the reaction after the pullback. Several dips failed to produce sustained selling pressure; instead, price was quickly absorbed and pulled back. This area looks weak, but in reality it wasn’t as loose as I imagined. What truly changed my mind was that, again and again, the order book kept digesting the strength of the shorts.

Later, price moved from 0.05162 to 0.06921, and my long position was smoothly realized. The final result was recorded at +841.44%. Of course, there were moments when I considered getting out early—especially when the first surge topped out and rolled over, I felt really uneasy in my head. Thankfully, I didn’t let short-term volatility throw off my rhythm.

Old players all know: the longer a range-bound move lasts, the more likely it is to make people doubt when it finally starts. Missing the first leg isn’t the scary part. The scary part is when your judgment is still playing out, yet you get washed out by emotions. This time, holding on was mostly because patience finally beat impulsiveness.
