This time, I didn’t keep chasing to sell into the dip with orders. Instead, I watched for a long time while the price was high. In the earlier attempts to surge, none of them managed to break out into new space. The price repeatedly met resistance around 277.1. I judged that this was more like exhausting the emotion of chasing longs, so I chose to wait for the shorts to expose their own weakness.

At the start, the market didn’t cooperate. The grinding and wick-fishing appeared one after another, and it’s hard not to feel a bit anxious. Fortunately, the subsequent rebound didn’t form an effective follow-through. The rally-to-fall became faster and faster, and the board finally shifted from hesitation to a clearly defined dumping rhythm.

When the price moved to 187.7, the result of this trade came back at +1555.44%. What satisfied me most wasn’t the number—it was that I didn’t change my thinking because of the prior dull action, and I didn’t panic and chase a short only after seeing the price drop.

Missing the first leg isn’t what’s scary. What’s scary is trying to grab back the rhythm and end up catching a flying knife. Veteran players all know that the most comfortable profits often come from waiting and restraint. This time also once again confirmed my judgment.
