Honestly, this short position wasn’t easy at the start. The price kept oscillating around 0.02762, rising on the chart for a moment and then quickly dropping again. When many people see this kind of movement, they tend to get itchy and chase in. I, on the other hand, waited to take support again at the high point after the strength weakened.

What really cemented my conviction was that pump-and-dump move—when the price looked like it was about to break out, the sell pressure above it immediately pressed down. That action felt like a major-players’ psychological game: first lift sentiment, then make the people who chased feel uncomfortable. I didn’t rush to exit, and I wasn’t thrown off by the fake breakout.

After that, the market started to weaken continuously. The price moved to around 0.0149, and this short had already gained {$AZTEC _MULTIPLE} times the upside-down space. I did have some anxiety in the middle—especially when the rebound suddenly got faster—but as long as the original logic wasn’t broken, there was no need to scare myself.

After this drop, I became even more convinced of the short thesis. At the highs, nobody was stepping in, the rebound didn’t continue, and the sell pressure was still there. These signals matter more than any short-term rise or fall. Trading isn’t about who can move fastest—it’s about who can stick to and hold their own judgment.
