When both the long and short positions were opened, the order book was actually very quiet—quiet enough to make me doubt whether I’d read the chart wrong. Around 0.05162, it kept grinding for a long time: the price wouldn’t go up or down, and there was no obvious change in the market sentiment beforehand. What I was most worried about at the time wasn’t losing money—it was losing my patience first.

Later, what truly changed my mind was a dip. That needle came down and was pulled back quickly; then someone took over below, sell pressure didn’t keep expanding, and afterward the rally also turned decisive. Only then did I feel that this wasn’t simply weakness—it was repeatedly washing out people who lacked patience.

Now we’re at 0.05914. This outcome is +355.11%. There wasn’t a constant tailwind in the middle—there were even a few times I wanted to get out—but the original logic wasn’t broken. Instead, the market gradually laid out the answer step by step.

The biggest mistake people make in the crypto market is denying themselves when the market isn’t moving, and then chasing after it once it starts. This trade made me even more certain: waiting isn’t idle waste. If you can wait until the order book gives confirmation, a lot of noise naturally disappears.
