A few days ago, the market looked like it was intentionally putting on a strong front—then as soon as the early session opened, it immediately showed its true colors. Before the board had fully kicked off, every time $DOT was pumped higher, it didn’t have the matching volume; once the price spiked upward, it was pushed back down right away. The lack of follow-through on the bids was very obvious.

I watched the changes in DOT starting around 1.223 and judged that this wasn’t a valid breakout, but instead a high-level loosening after it went up with nobody stepping in to take it. So I stuck to the short-side plan and executed the long entry. Catching the weakness early is what kept me from getting carried away by those few upside breakout candles.

The current price is 0.763. My position has already realized +2668.8%—this move has given the answer. First, I close +2668.8% to lock the profit in and take it off the table; the remaining 92% will be kept under observation, with the protection moved to around the cost basis. If it keeps falling, I let it run. Even if it bounces back, it still can’t take away the results.

Even if you only make one point, as long as you can take it away, it’s yours. No matter how large the floating profit is, if it hasn’t been realized, it’s still just a process. Chasing another order is easy to get stuck on the mountaintop—don’t act until the next signal comes out. There will be opportunities later.
