This time, I didn’t chase shorts, and this is the most comfortable part for me. When the price fell from the high point earlier, many people already started shouting to catch the falling knife, but I was watching the strength of the rebound. Around 0.21896, several failed attempts to rebound couldn’t hold their ground. The bids looked lively on the surface, but they couldn’t actually catch it.

After I entered the short position, the market first went sideways and ground people down, then suddenly spiked up a bit, almost making it seem like a reversal was coming. In that moment, I did feel a bit anxious, but I didn’t get thrown off by the fake move. After the price fell back below the consolidation range again, I quickly came to 0.12201. The post-trade review showed +1085.54%.

This trade helped me confirm once again: missing the first leg isn’t scary. What truly tends to cause problems is seeing the drop and getting itchy to chase in. A short-seller’s rhythm isn’t based on being bold; it’s about waiting for the weakness at the high to expose itself. Once the confirmation logic plays out, your mindset naturally stays steady.
