A few days ago, even in the afternoon it was still acting tough while lying down, but the moment I finished lunch and checked the chart, $OPN directly showed its true temper. It’s not that it won’t bounce—it's that every bounce lacks follow-through. The moment it’s lifted up a bit, the sell orders bring it right back down.

Before the market had fully started, I matched it up against OPN and watched a few rounds. I found that when it rises, nobody steps in—there isn’t enough buy-side support, and the pressure level never really loosens. So when the price got close to 0.1710, I opened a Go Long, and I’d already thought through a protection plan in advance, so that one judgment doesn’t turn into an emotional bet.

Right now, 0.0516 shows the shorts have already cashed out, and the unrealized result is at +3362.6%—this one is really satisfying. I’ll close 80% first, keep 20% to see whether it continues to be pushed down. My protective level follows to around my cost basis. If it pulls back up, I’ll stop—I won’t fight the order book head-on.

Even if you only profit by one point, if you can take it away, it’s yours; if the unrealized gains are even higher, that’s the market’s. Don’t grind away your patience in range-bound movement.

Chasing another order is easy to get hung up at the top of the hill. Wait for the next round’s opportunity when the structure becomes clear again, then act according to the signals.
