The most obvious feeling when monitoring the chart a few days ago was that at the high level it was increasingly looking like it was being hard-stretched to hold on. $TRB kept being pulled back repeatedly from around 16.26, but it never opened up new upside space. I wasn’t getting carried away by the superficial strength, so I put it into the watch range first.

This grinding period in the middle was very draining on patience. The short direction was clear, but the price didn’t drop right away, and I still felt a bit annoyed inside. Until it failed to push higher again—sell pressure kept appearing in succession—the order book shifted from hesitation to a rapid sell-off, and only then did the rhythm become truly clear.

When the price reached 13.73, this trade’s outcome came to +1104.04%. From pressure at the highs to the shorts being realized, there wasn’t anything magical in the process. More than anything, the weaknesses that had been repeatedly showing up earlier finally concentrated and exploded, and the judgment I’d stuck with earlier also got confirmation.

If you spend long enough in the crypto market, you’ll know the easiest way to lose money is often to chase after seeing a big bearish candle. The really comfortable trades are the ones where you stay patient while the market hasn’t fully taken a stance yet—wait for it to reveal its flaw on its own, then follow the rhythm as it plays out.
