The most striking takeaway from this recap isn’t how much $ADA fell, but that the repeated back-and-forth up at the highs ground down a lot of people’s patience. The price moved from 0.2438 to 0.1578—only then did the shorts finally release the key level. +2502.94% is just the outcome; what matters is that earlier on, we didn’t impulsively chase just because we’d waited too long.

At the start, I also thought the order book looked like it could easily flip and pump back, since those sell-offs were quickly bought back a few times. It’s only natural to feel a little uneasy. But every rebound failed to form new strong follow-through—instead, it left an increasingly clear pattern of rallying higher and then falling back. That’s what kept me believing the sell pressure at the highs was still there.

Later on, once the market lost the key level, the downtrend turned out to be far more straightforward than I’d imagined. Honestly, the hardest phase for being bearish has never been after the drop—it’s always been that quiet period before the decline even happens. This time, not getting worn down by the grinding action and staying disciplined meant we held onto the rhythm of the old players.
