That one quick, hard smash at last ripped the “cover” off the chart. When the market got dumped earlier in the day, $MAV was still probing repeatedly up at the highs. It looked, on the surface, like it was building up power—but in reality, every time it tried to push higher, there was no sustained buy-side support. The moment the price bumped into a key level, it got pulled back. What I saw was lack of follow-through—not a strong breakout.

At the time, I was watching MAV’s rhythm, and around 0.01362 I executed a long. The idea was simple: if the rebound doesn’t go smoothly, the volume doesn’t back it up, and the selling pressure overhead is heavy, then you don’t chase that little bit of fake strength. Now the price is at 0.00849, and the short position has already realized +1817.41%. This profit is safely locked in.

First, close 80%. Then keep the remaining 20% and move the protection level to around your cost basis. If you keep pressing downward, let the profits run—if it bounces back, don’t give back the portion you already took. Profit isn’t about being greedy and grabbing every last bite at the end. Being able to pocket it is the real win.

If you missed this leg, don’t rush to add tickets. Chasing later orders can get pinned up at the top of the mountain. Have a plan before the session, and keep discipline during the session. When the next round forms a clear structure, then make your move—there will still be opportunities. Don’t be in a hurry.
