Seeing that the high level was repeatedly attacked but it still couldn’t hold, I started paying attention to short opportunities. It wasn’t one big bearish candle that made me take the trade—it was after several pump attempts where price was quickly smashed back each time, showing that the sell-side support above wasn’t as solid as people imagined. I entered a short position around 2111.63, and first left the judgment to be verified by the order book and price action.

The initial rebound really made me uncomfortable. Holding a short, watching price push higher easily makes you start doubting yourself. Fortunately, no real breakout formed. The market then reversed and rallied to 1868.21, with consistent sell pressure appearing; in the end, this trade resulted in +2003.82%.

This trade wasn’t based on guessing—it was about waiting for the market to finish performing that fake strength. After it dropped, I became even more convinced of the short thesis. It’s not because it fell that I went short; it’s because the problem at the high level had never been resolved. What traders fear most isn’t missing out—it’s seeing a bit of movement and getting carried away to chase blindly.
