This time it wasn’t “buy in the moment you see a dip.” Instead, I waited for a long time. $TRB repeatedly spiked and then fell back around 16.26. On the surface it looked strong, but in reality every time it got pulled up there wasn’t stable buying support. I felt more like a hunter—I'd rather miss a small move than catch a flying knife when emotions are at their hottest.

After I went short, the market didn’t immediately move in my favor. There were several quick spikes that made it really uncomfortable for my short position. Honestly, at that moment I also wondered if I’d misread the chart. But when the price surged again and was pushed back down by sell pressure, the smell of a false breakout got stronger and stronger. That’s when I knew this wasn’t just a simple shakeout—the key levels for the bears were being built up slowly.

Then it rallied to 13.74, and this trade ended with a +1104.04% result. What really made me feel secure wasn’t the number itself, but the way price faced pressure at the high, the rebound had no strength, and then the final dump. The logic before and after was one continuous line, and it didn’t get derailed by brief volatility.

A lot of people only think about chasing after the market starts moving, but the biggest risk for shorts is getting in at the emotional top. Stay in crypto long enough and you’ll realize that restraint is also a kind of trading ability. Missing out isn’t embarrassing—going in hard when you haven’t read it clearly is what turns good opportunities into bad outcomes.
