Starting this short position wasn’t easy either. The price kept oscillating around 0.4076, neither directly dumping hard nor truly pushing to new highs. Honestly, this kind of market is the easiest to lose patience. Just when you think you’re getting out, the next candle suddenly spikes—your mindset can get carried away.

I didn’t treat the few rebounds as strong signals. Instead, I kept watching whether there was real buy support above. Later, the price spiked and rolled over faster and faster, and nobody wanted to chase at the lows—until it came to around 0.3344, when the chart finally showed consecutive sell-offs. At that moment, the drop wasn’t driven by emotion; it was the bulls starting to withdraw on purpose.

In the end, the result of this trade came back as +1274.27%. What I’m grateful for is that I didn’t give up early just because the grind took too long. A lot of the time, judging direction is only the first step. What truly tests people is whether they can stay clear-minded when the market keeps withholding feedback and won’t let you get washed out by short-term swings.

After this leg down, my understanding of weakness at the highs deepened further. Going short doesn’t need constant loud calls every day. Wait for the price to prove that support has disappeared, and the short side will naturally find its own rhythm.
