Didn’t do anything—just went to the restroom, and when I came back the chart candles had already done the job for me. After finishing lunch, when I was checking the market, $POL had already pulled back from the high; the speed was even more decisive than I’d expected.

During the choppy back-and-forth in the session, I noticed that every rebound it tried to make was really hard. The buy-side didn’t keep following through, and the volume couldn’t match either. It weakened again right after pushing near key levels. That detail led me to judge that the sideways action on the surface was more like a “fantasy” left for the bulls—the real support wasn’t actually there. When I saw POL again fail to break through around 0.08969, I executed a long position right away. I didn’t chase the green candles; I just waited for it to show signs of exhaustion on its own.

At this moment the price is at 0.07648, and the performance result from the recap has already shown +1045.06%. I’ll close 80% to lock in the gains first, while keeping the remaining 80% running. I’ll put the stop level back near the cost line; if there’s further sell-off, let the profit extend naturally. If it suddenly bounces back, it won’t turn the gains into a near-key-level reversal.

Panic happens because there’s no plan. Loss happens because you overthink.

Adding to a trade often gets stuck at the mountaintop. Right now it’s not suitable for emotional averaging down. Wait for the next shot—once a new structure is confirmed. The market doesn’t lack opportunities; what it lacks is patience.
