Honestly, this time being able to hold the short position wasn’t because I had big nerve—it was because during the earlier grind, I didn’t rush to get off. The price kept probing the key area around 0.4076, but there was always a lack of sustained buying support. I judged this looked more like post-washout pressure, so I chose to go long and first stabilize the rhythm.

That sudden spike through the wick was definitely scary. When the price snapped back quickly, it’s easy for people to panic. But what I was watching wasn’t a one- or two-minute move—each rebound was weaker than the last. Buyers didn’t manage to open up the range; instead, sell pressure kept showing up. That’s the real signal that the bears started to gain strength.

Later, when the market moved to 0.3145, the result was a +1620.69% move. This trade let me appreciate again that the hardest part isn’t just judging a drop—it’s holding back from itchy hands before you’re proven right. When there’s no support at higher levels, patience is sometimes more important than chasing the dump.
