This pullback came faster than I expected, but I didn’t start chasing only after seeing a big bearish candle. Before that, the price repeatedly pushed up around 0.04289 but never managed to hold above it. Once the selling pressure concentrated and got released, the market quickly moved to 0.02629—this trade ended up +762.98%.

At the beginning, I actually felt a bit regretful: when it truly broke down, I didn’t take action immediately. Watching the price get smashed lower, it’s hard not to want to jump in. But the longer you stay in crypto markets, the more you know that rushing to catch a falling knife can easily get swept away by a rebound, so I’d rather wait for confirmation on the chart than make a chaotic entry just because I missed the move.

The rebound afterward remained weak. After the shorts slammed the market, there wasn’t enough follow-through on the support, which suggests there wasn’t sufficient “relay” forming underneath. When price weakened again, those who had been observing started selling, and the whole move shifted from being under pressure at the highs to a continuous downtrend.

What’s most valuable this time isn’t the result—it’s that I didn’t let the anxiety after missing the opportunity drive my decisions. Downside profits aren’t made by grabbing every segment to the fullest; they come from staying patient after you recognize weakness, missing the first move without trying to chase the rhythm, and not taking risks to catch up.
