Before this wave of sell-off, the market kept giving the feeling that it was going to keep pushing higher. Many people probably felt the same way. What I was watching was the high-level follow-through becoming increasingly hollow. After moving from 0.2438 to 0.1646, the short position ultimately resulted in +2305.03%, and it once again confirmed to me that a strong-looking appearance doesn’t necessarily mean there’s real strength.

When I first entered, things weren’t smooth. The price first came with a rebound, and my mindset was indeed worn down a bit and got annoying. But the rebound didn’t form any new momentum—instead, it left heavier sell pressure at the high. I didn’t change my original judgment because of a single bullish candle. Only when the sell-off hit did the direction gradually become clear.

This time, I didn’t chase the space that had already fallen out. Nor did I regret missing out after being left behind. Being bearish isn’t about going short on every dip; it’s about staying restrained when the strong market loses its ability to get absorbed. In the end, being able to take control of the rhythm back matters more than boarding in a moment of impulse.
