Many opportunities don’t appear out of nowhere; they form gradually as prices keep getting pulled back and forth. This time, the key high-level support/resistance area for $STM is fairly clear—each rebound is getting weaker and weaker. The information shown by the order book is no longer about continuing to chase longs, but about waiting for the shorts to gain momentum.

I opened a short position around 56.00. As the current price moved to 49.84, the +216.58% gains were gradually realized. During the process, I didn’t deliberately chase. Each step first confirms whether the key level is still holding; only after confirming that the trading momentum has weakened do I continue to hold.

This kind of market is the biggest test of patience. Opening a position doesn’t mean it will go smoothly right away. The back-and-forth fluctuations in the short term can easily make people doubt themselves too early. My habit is to stick to my judgment first, and then manage drawdown based on how the price changes—so that a single sharp rebound doesn’t ruin the entire plan.

This is trading rhythm. When you can’t see clearly, make fewer moves; after you confirm, then execute. Even if you missed this round, it’s fine—opportunities are always there. What matters is staying patient.
