The first few times I saw it pump, I didn’t actually get on board, because after each spike higher, there was an obvious pullback. People who chased long would get a bit excited, and the price would get smashed back down immediately. When this kind of move appeared again near 0.0001670, I started watching it closely. It didn’t feel like a strong breakout—it felt more like the price was probing and testing acceptance repeatedly at high levels.

After opening a short, the market didn’t drop smoothly right away. Instead, it went through several pullbacks upward. Honestly, that period was pretty grinding. When you have itchy hands, you also want to exit early, but the rebounds never broke through the key levels ahead. The moment sell pressure appeared, the price turned weak again—this is what kept me believing my original judgment.

Later, the price came to 0.0000592, and in the end this single trade returned +1267.46%. Of course it felt great after the result came out, but more importantly, the process stayed orderly: I didn’t chase longs because of a short-term rally, and I also didn’t blindly catch a falling knife just because it had already dropped for a while.

Many times, shorts aren’t made by being bold—they’re made by waiting until no one is truly willing to take bids at the high end. I’m not shorting only because the market is down. It’s those fake breakouts, spikes followed by pullbacks, and weakening bid/acceptance that were already there. This time, I just waited patiently until the order book delivered.
