After trading for a long time, I realized the hardest part isn’t finding opportunities, but waiting for them to truly mature. During high-level consolidation, I kept watching whether the rebounds had proper follow-through, but every time prices surged to new highs, it failed to break into a continuation.

When the price again showed weakness around 65034.0, I only then confirmed that the key level above was still in place, so I followed the rhythm to execute a short position—without exiting early just because of a few small rebounds.

As the price dropped to 63600.7 and the +383.2% gain was gradually realized, this pullback also proved that waiting wasn’t wasted. Once profits appear, staying calm is more important than continuing to chase a bigger expectation; keeping drawdown under control always comes first.

Understanding the change matters more than chasing the move. If you miss it, you miss it—don’t repeat trades in your emotions. If you didn’t catch this round, it’s fine; the market won’t only offer one chance.
