I thought I’d have to watch it grind through the night again until I fell asleep, but after my last look before bed, the chart flipped outright. A few days ago before sleep, $MAV was still repeatedly probing at the high end. When I opened it again, the price had already reached 0.00845, and the shorts took profit very decisively.

At the time, I didn’t get led around by those spike candles. What I saw was that volume wasn’t keeping up, and sell pressure kept increasing—each time it tried to surge, it got pushed back. Before the market fully kicked off, I reminded myself to watch the resistance/pressure level, executed a long around 0.01362, waiting exactly for this breakdown to loosen.

My current post-trade review return is +1824.48%; the answer is already right in front of me. The waiting beforehand wasn’t wasted. The truly comfortable part isn’t guessing correctly—it’s being able to manage according to plan after entering.

This time, I’ll take profit on 80% first, and use the remaining 20% to protect the cost basis. If the downside continues, let the profits keep running. If there’s a pullback/relief bounce, don’t force it, and definitely don’t disrupt the rhythm you already locked in just for the last bite.

Risk control done upfront is called rationality; cutting after you’re already wrong is called the brave warrior severing an arm. For unclear markets, one glance is clarity. Acting impulsively is foolish. If you miss it, don’t chase—wait for the new structure to form and reassess.
