This sell-off didn’t kick off quickly enough, and many people may still be waiting for it to pull back up. What I was watching, though, was the sell pressure after the rebound. The price started weakening around 0.2144; several attempts to reclaim it failed, and the feel of the shorts gradually came through.

What really torments people is the sideways consolidation in the middle: it didn’t get dumped immediately, and it didn’t give a clearly obvious direction. At the time, I didn’t make random moves out of boredom, and I also didn’t see one rebound candle and then chase orders to flip direction—because the key levels on the board kept drifting lower.

When the price finally came to the 0.2045 area, the market validated my earlier judgment, and the result was recorded as +224.61%. What made this trade feel solid was that I didn’t stubbornly fight with emotions; instead, I waited for weak conditions to be confirmed repeatedly, then kept following the rhythm.

Old players all know the worst thing isn’t missing the chance—it’s having a shaky hand and turning an opportunity into a mistake. Getting to eat this short run wasn’t about guessing every step correctly; it was about staying restrained before confirmation, and after confirmation appeared, not being shaken out by short-term volatility.
