The thing I remember most about this trade is that even though the direction was correct, I still almost couldn’t hold on during the process. When the price started moving around 3.050, it wasn’t pretty: it first surged and then pulled back, and afterward it stuck in another quick needle. At the time, I genuinely felt a bit panicked, even wondering if this was another false breakout cycle.

I didn’t rush to chase the rise just to make up for the decision—I went back to look at the finer details on the chart. Every time the market was hit with a sell-off, someone was there to take it, and after the pullback there wasn’t continuous weakness. This showed that the move wasn’t simply being forced up by emotion. Those signals are what helped me regain my rhythm at the moment I most wanted to get out.

Later, the price moved from 3.050 to 3.681, and the long positions were ultimately realized. The result was recorded as +1469%. What I’m most grateful for isn’t how much the market gave me—it’s that I wasn’t washed out during the first surge and pullback, and that I didn’t change my plan just because I saw others chasing orders.

In the crypto market, getting the direction right is only the first step. Whether you can get through the grinding midway and the doubts is what determines whether you can finally truly take the meat. This market move once again reminded me that judgment needs evidence, holding requires patience, and you can’t let a single short-term fluctuation make decisions for you.
