Many opportunities don’t suddenly appear—they slowly form when nobody is paying attention. When the market keeps whipsawing and oscillating, I see that the key level overhead never loosens. The bounce looks strong, but in reality, it gets pushed back again and again. Shorts were opened at 65034.0. The idea was simple: only trade the pullback after a rejection from a high level, and don’t change your judgment just because of a brief rally. Now the price is at 63790.7, and the return shows +331.62%—this volatility finally pays off. Along the way, there was also hesitation. After all, during a down move, a quick counter-rally can happen at any time. But trading can’t rely only on changes in emotion—the key is whether the price can re-establish/hold the level. This is the rhythm of trading. If you’re right, you also need to know how to control drawdowns, so the room you’ve already captured doesn’t get pressured again. If you didn’t catch this move, it’s okay. Patience is still there, and opportunities won’t disappear. $ETH $SOL

The market looked quite strong in that earlier segment. Several pull-ups lifted the mood again and again, and many people may already have started to feel itchy and want to get on board. But at the time, I didn’t chase instead. After the price rose, the support/acceptance kept getting weaker. Every time the price approached the highs, it was smashed back down. If you’ve been in crypto long enough, you know this kind of move: strength is only superficial. After opening the short at 76861.4, the hardest part was that grinding, chop-like section in the middle. The price didn’t weaken right away; instead, it kept stabbing back and forth, and your mindset is definitely easy to panic. Luckily, I wasn’t shaken out by a short-term rebound washout. After the selling pressure truly released, the price kept moving all the way to 63685.9. This trade returned +2978.08%. What I’m more satisfied with this time isn’t that the result was so beautiful, but that I didn’t change my judgment just because a few pumps pulled the price up. It looked strong, yet no one was taking it. In the end, the problem still showed up. Once the high-level short logic was fulfilled by the market action, I’ll be even more cautious about this kind of repeated “surge to the highs”走势. $ETH $SOL

This short position has worked out up to now—the key isn’t chasing only after seeing the sell-off, but rather that when the price surged and then pulled back earlier, the market was already clearly unable to hold. The price has been grinding repeatedly at high levels. What I was watching were those quick pullbacks after the pushes up, which showed that the sell pressure above still hadn’t been fully digested. After I actually opened the position, the process wasn’t as smooth as I imagined. There were also several quick wick probes with counter-bounces in the middle—that area was really grinding. People itching to short often get shaken out. I watched it go from 2111.63 down to 1905.55. This drop validated my call step by step, and the result was +1696.65%. Honestly, the hardest part of a short isn’t getting it right—it’s whether you can stay steady when the market doesn’t give immediate feedback. In the end, the price still chose to move downward, which shows that the heavy pressure at high levels wasn’t an illusion. This selloff has made me more convinced of the original short thesis. If I miss a move, I won’t force a hard chase again. $BTC $SOL
