Honestly, the hardest part of this short isn’t the drop itself—it’s that opening stretch of repeated whipsaw. When selling pressure first showed up, the price didn’t immediately get smashed down. Instead, it poked upward with a few spikes. A lot of people probably got shaken out. I had doubts too, and I kept not daring to relax too much.

After I started watching from 4.25647, once the shorts had taken profit, what I cared about more was whether the rebound would make a new high—not those few red candles in the short term. Later on, every time the price pushed up, it was quickly slammed back down. The order book support clearly couldn’t keep up. The market gradually moved to 0.14122, and this trade ultimately ended with +1903.72%.

In the past, I always thought getting the direction right was enough. Only later did I understand that what truly determines the outcome is whether you can hold up against boring, repetitive fluctuations. The grinding mill in the crypto market often pushes people to get emotional—but as long as your original judgment hasn’t been invalidated, there’s no need to disrupt your own rhythm.
