This time I’m focusing on the $SIREN surge-and-fade at the high level. It looked strong at first, but in reality, every time it tried to push higher, there wasn’t much follow-through. I chose to short around 0.46953—not because a single bearish candle got me carried away, but because it felt like the sell pressure above kept lingering, and the upward buyers’ follow-through never really disappeared.



When I first got in, the market action was really grinding and annoying—those quick pinwicks almost washed me out a few times. Honestly, the hardest part of holding a short isn’t just when the drop starts; it’s after you’ve been right, when you still have to hold through all the back-and-forth in the middle, without letting one or two fake breakouts throw off your rhythm.

Later, the price got dragged down from 0.46953 all the way to 0.032. The chart finally gave me confirmation. The results in my records show +2285.16%. This move wasn’t based on guessing. It was that at the high level, the follow-through kept getting weaker and weaker—once the sell-off hit, the shorts naturally stepped in and took over the momentum.

If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you know that real “comfortable” downside usually isn’t the first kick—it’s when nobody up there is willing to keep buying and taking the other side anymore. This short made me more confident in my original judgment. I didn’t get shaken out by the grinding chop, and the timing wasn’t wasted.
