This short position was able to pay off—not because I chased after seeing the drop, but because when the earlier rally peaked and rolled over, I noticed the overhead support was getting weaker and weaker. The price moved from 4.25647 to 0.14278—this change was even more decisive than I expected, and the result came out to +1902.92%.

At the beginning, it was actually pretty hard to sit through. A few rebounds almost washed me out. The chart looked like it might start pulling the price back up again, and for a moment I was a bit on edge. Luckily, I didn’t get carried away by a single snap-back. I still kept watching whether the sell pressure at the highs was truly easing.

That needle-like wick later didn’t bring sustained support; instead, it became a signal for the shorts to regain strength. Once the market broke below a key level, the people who had been hesitating started dumping, and the whole rhythm changed.

If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you know the hardest part of a short isn’t deciding the direction—it’s whether you dare to keep holding through the decline. This trade made me even more sure: in a weak market, rebounds can’t be casually mistaken for a reversal. Before it’s confirmed, missing out feels better than chasing and getting hit with a flying knife.
