The action here at the front looks quite strong—there are people following along after several consecutive pump moves. But when it comes to actually pushing upward, the buy-side support clearly can’t keep up. I decided to short around 0.08432; later the price returned to 0.08267. The result on this trade came out to +141.37%. It wasn’t luck—it was the details of heavy pressure at the high repeatedly playing out.

The most frustrating part in the middle is that just after the shorts made a move, the longs suddenly pulled up another rebound candle. A lot of people probably panicked at that moment. I also didn’t rush to slam more orders; I waited until it failed to push higher again, and only then confirmed that this wasn’t just normal chop—the sell pressure above had started to release.

After this drop, I became even more convinced of the short thesis. It’s not because it fell that I turned bearish—rather, the earlier problems had been there all along. The market just took its time before presenting the answer. Only if you can hold on and not get taken out by a fake breakout can you truly land on the rhythm.
