I still thought before going to bed that this range would keep moving sideways, but when I checked again the next morning, the shorts had already released all the key levels. A few days ago, before going to sleep, $OPN was swinging back and forth above—seemingly calm on the surface, but in reality, the buy-side bids were getting weaker each time.

When I watched OPN, the focus wasn’t whether it would bounce, but whether it could hold after the bounce. Each time it was pushed up, it fell just short—there wasn’t enough follow-through, while selling pressure kept showing up. So around 0.1710, I executed a long, waiting for the realization after the high-level weakness.

The current price has pulled back to 0.0611, with a return rate of +3095.06%. This trade didn’t involve much theatrics: I didn’t follow when there was a low-volume rally; I waited when there was overhead suppression. When the opportunity appeared, then I made the move.

Protect the profit first—close it out with +3095.06%, and keep the remaining 20% within the cost-protection range. If it continues to drop further, just hold along with the move. If it bounces back, don’t let the profit get uncomfortable. Position management matters more than emotions.

It’s better to miss a sprint than to get repeatedly harvested in a ranging market. If you haven’t entered yet, don’t rush to add more. Chasing after a fast drop is also dangerous. Wait for the right signal—strike again the next time the structure is clear.
