$BIRB I missed out on 20 points by selling too early this time, but I don’t regret it one bit.

I got in at 0.081, watched it for three days, and sold at 0.093. Then today it hit a high of 0.1055, up 22.96% in 24h, with 69.4M in trading volume. You think that stings? It does. But if I could do it over, I’d still sell at 0.093. Why? My entry strategy was to capture the most certain part of the move—the fish’s body. The tail has too many bones, and I don’t have the teeth for it.
Let’s review the trade. I bought at 0.081, when the 24h low was 0.0807, so I was basically buying right at the intraday low. I was willing to enter there because trading volume had already risen above 50M, which meant money was changing hands—it wasn’t a dead market. I was pretty conflicted during those two days I held: when it rose to 0.088, I wanted to add but didn’t; when it fell back to 0.083, I wanted to cut my position but didn’t. In the end, I took profit at 0.093, making about 15 points, with a 20% position. The price is now 0.1026, and I missed out on the next 10 points.
There’s just one lesson: my take-profit level was too mechanical. My rule was to always sell after a 15% gain, but with a coin like $BIRB, whose 24h range exceeds 30%, a 15% take-profit level is basically handing your tokens to the market makers. I need to change my approach: for high-volatility coins, the take-profit level should track trading volume. Hold as long as volume doesn’t contract; exit when it does.
Here’s my advice: at the current price of 0.1026, should you chase it? My answer is no—don’t chase. Wait for a pullback to the 0.095–0.098 range and buy in batches, with a stop-loss below 0.088 and a position no larger than 30%. The previous high is 0.1055; if it breaks through, then watch for 0.12. If it fails to break through, that’s a double top. Remember, the 22.96% gain has already used up the short-term momentum. Whether buying now means catching a falling knife or getting a piece of the fish’s body is up to you to judge.
Even someone like me who sells too early managed to make 15 points on $BIRB. If you’re too lazy to even review your trades, don’t blame the market makers for being quick to fleece you. Tell me in the comments: did you get in at 0.08, or chase at 0.10? Let’s see who can sell even earlier than me. Follow me, and next time I sell too early, I’ll livestream getting roasted in real time. #每周来晒
