This short could be taken profitably—not because I waited to chase after seeing a drop, but because earlier, when the price surged and then rolled over, I noticed the buy support above was getting weaker and weaker. After opening the short around 1.0030, the price didn’t immediately crash; instead, it churned back and forth for a few rounds. Honestly, that stretch really tested patience—people with itchy hands probably got off the trade way earlier.

There was one upward spike that nearly threw off the rhythm, but the close quickly pushed it back down, indicating that the heavy selling pressure at the high level hadn’t truly disappeared. I didn’t panic and change direction just because of one spike; I waited until weakness resumed around 0.6893, when the short thesis was finally validated by the market.

The post-trade review result for this position is recorded as +1508.59%. The point isn’t how pretty the number is, but that my judgment and waiting finally lined up. If you’ve been in the crypto market long enough, you’ll know the truly hard part isn’t spotting a downturn—it’s being able to stick to your plan while the grinder keeps turning.
