After that false breakout at the high, I started keeping an eye on short opportunities, but I didn’t enter right away. The price fell from 0.21896 to 0.14533, and this trade was ultimately recorded as +826.83%. The process wasn’t easy, but it carried out my earlier judgment completely.

At first, the initial rebound was so easy to misread that it seemed like it would keep pushing higher—I even had a brief moment of hesitation myself. But after the price surged up several times, it was pushed back down each time. The buyers didn’t hold the breakout; instead, they left behind a clear sell-off pressure. So I chose to keep waiting for confirmation, rather than getting swept up and chasing it based on emotion.

After the real drop finally came, the market turned much more decisive at once, and the short positions began to advance in step with the rhythm. What I’m most thankful for is that I didn’t let the grinder earlier throw me off and change my plan, and I also wasn’t shaken out during the short-term rebound. Patience finally brought back results.

After this leg down, I became even more convinced of the short-side logic. It wasn’t because I only turned bearish after it dropped—the issue of weak follow-through at the high was always there. With futures, the worst thing is getting impulsive. Missing an opportunity means you can wait for another; losing the rhythm is what truly makes it unbearable.
