This short position could be taken profitably—what’s key isn’t chasing just because you see the price falling, but that after the earlier spike, there was never any solid follow-through. I started watching closely around 0.2144. At that time, the price looked pretty strong; many people were already preparing to go long, but I felt this level was a bit flimsy.

The most grinding part is that after the position was opened, it didn’t immediately get dumped. It kept pinning up and down—poking wicks, spiking higher, then falling back. Holding a short position does make you easy to panic. What I was watching was whether the pressure at the high continued—until the price broke down below the key level near 0.2088, and only then did the shorts truly take over the tempo.

The outcome of this round was a +128.03% return. It wasn’t forced through luck or hard holding—it was the chart repeatedly confirming my original judgment. In the middle, I didn’t get carried away just because there were several rebounds, and I also wasn’t easily shaken off by a short-term shakeout.

Honestly, the hardest thing in crypto isn’t seeing opportunities—it’s being able to stay calm after you get the right direction. This time made me more convinced by the short-side logic: real weakness often doesn’t give the answer right away—it gradually shows itself only after the support keeps getting worse.
