This rally came more directly than I expected, but I wasn’t prompted to jump in just because it started a pump. When the price kept probing around 0.04289, I kept watching to see whether there was truly enough dump pressure. Although the process was uncomfortable, the bid support at the low levels never disappeared completely, which made me willing to keep waiting for the outcome.

The hardest part was those few fake breakouts in the middle—once there was a bit of movement, it was pushed back. At one point, the chart looked like it was deliberately wearing down confidence. If it were back in the past, I might have panicked and gotten off. This time, it reminded me to first see whether the pullback would continue, and only after confirming that selling pressure wasn’t getting out of control did I stick to my original bullish call.

After that, the price moved from 0.04289 to 0.0431. This round of longs was closed for profit, showing a result of +10.56%. The market’s answer was very clear: the waiting before wasn’t wasted. Real uptrends often don’t ring bells and give everyone advance notice.

After this move played out, I’m still fairly confident in this direction. Not because it went up and then I turned bullish, but because the support and pacing I observed earlier are now delivering. It’s okay to be a little slower at times in trading—as long as you’re not thrown off by fake moves, opportunities will always come back to reward patient people.
