This short trade wasn’t about seeing a dump and jumping in temporarily—it was after I couldn’t push through at the high level repeatedly that I started noticing signs that the buyback/replenishment was weakening. The price churned around 0.08432 for a long time; each time there was a push up, it got slammed back down, and the bears’ “smell” became more and more obvious.

What was hardest was right after I entered. The market didn’t immediately drop; instead, it came with a spike wick that almost washed my mindset out. Luckily, I didn’t chase the volatility to constantly change my judgment. When the price moved to 0.08236, this leg of the decline finally fulfilled the logic.

In the end, the result landed at +164.93%. This win wasn’t a coincidence—it was about patiently waiting for pressure at the high level to bear out. I did get a bit anxious in the middle, but I didn’t let short-term noise drag me along.

After spending long enough in crypto, you’ll know: what shorts fear most isn’t going slow—it’s going on tilt first. Once you’ve identified the key level and wait for the buyback to loosen, it’s often more comfortable than chasing a dump.
