I saw $UB keep surging to new highs and then dropping back repeatedly at the top. I didn’t rush to short, because in crypto the easiest way to get burned is to “board” only after the sell-off has already started. When the price returned to around 0.21896, that’s when I started to seriously watch it, trying to figure out whether this was just a washout or whether there really wasn’t anyone ready to take bids above.

The hardest part back then was that the market wouldn’t give direction for a long time. Several rebounds made me feel like the short positions might get swept. But every time it was pushed up, it was quickly pulled back down by selling pressure. The support kept weakening—almost like the chart was repeatedly reminding me that the highs weren’t safe. So I didn’t get emotional or add positions. I just stuck to my original plan and waited for the outcome.

Later, as the price kept sliding all the way to 0.11682, this short trade ultimately produced a result of +1143.55%. The process wasn’t as effortless as I’d imagined, but precisely because I didn’t chase at the hottest point and didn’t get scared out by a wick spike, I was able to truly capture this drop.

Missing the initial move isn’t the scary part. What’s really terrifying is catching a flying knife just to try to regain the timing. Looking back now, patience isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about waiting until the risk and direction are clear, and only then letting your judgment be tested by the market.
