I was originally preparing to close the position and rest, but the market suddenly gave a nice “turn back” move. After I just finished watching the bad news, many people were still guessing whether it could be pulled back; what I cared about more was whether every bounce had real follow-through. The answer was not optimistic.

$APT tested back and forth near the APT area. The breakout to the upside didn’t have sustained buying pressure—sell pressure was strong, and as soon as the price got close to the high, it softened.

After this assessment formed, I didn’t chase the volatility. I executed a long near 0.9197, waiting for the moment when the bounce proved weak and the shorts began to realize profits.

Current price is 0.6136. This short trade is now up +2362.35%, and I can finally loosen the rhythm a bit. Take profit on 80% first, use the remaining 20% protected at the cost price. If it continues falling, let the profits extend; if there’s a sudden rebound, don’t let floating gains turn back into drawdown.

Experts die from trying to bottom-pick; retail traders perish from chasing trades. Smart people live in the present. For positions you’re not sure about, take a look and stay clear-headed—opening trades randomly is foolish. If you haven’t gotten on yet, let me tell you: don’t chase the very last leg. Wait for good news; the next opportunity will be for a steadier setup.
