A few days ago, I was still thinking before bed about how to make a graceful exit, and this morning it sent me straight into profit. The last time I checked the chart before bed a few days ago, the rebound was still struggling to push higher, with noticeably heavier selling pressure—every rally was just short of breaking through. I held the 0.4692 short without moving, and when I opened the chart this morning, it was at 0.1372, with unrealized profit of +1392.39%. Feeling good, brothers. Being out of the market isn’t a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake. Don’t be greedy in life, and be even more cautious when trading. Here’s the move: I’m closing 70% of this position directly, putting the bulk in my pocket, and setting a stop-loss at the breakeven price for the remaining 30%—let it run on its own. Those who missed this move, don’t be jealous. Entering now would just mean catching a falling knife. Wait for the next shot. I’ll keep watching the market and give you a heads-up immediately if a new structure emerges. $XRP $SOL

When it was just dumped early in the session, I instinctively considered chasing the short, but after calming down, I still stayed out. Watching the market isn’t about seeing what is falling the fastest, but determining where it falls to before it becomes worth entering. I only entered when it pulled back to around {}, with the direction being {}. The price has now reached {}, and the position has reached {}. This move has gone very smoothly, but I have taken most of the profits off the table first. The remaining position is less important; it would be better if the move continues, but even if it stalls, it won’t affect the result of this trade. Only realized gains count as profit—no matter how large the figure on paper is, it’s all unrealized until you exit. At this point in the market, anyone who has already missed the optimal entry point would just be carrying someone else’s position if they entered now. Those who missed it shouldn’t rush; wait for the next round to offer another entry, and it won’t be too late to act then. $SOL $BTC

When everyone was watching for an upside breakout, I was more concerned about whether there would be buyers after the move. The surge a few afternoons ago looked lively, but volume failed to follow. So I didn’t chase it. Instead, I waited for a pullback confirmation around 0.5232 and only entered in the long direction after repeatedly confirming support during the session. The market has now reached 0.5938, and this trade is currently up +273.04%. Fortunately, I didn’t let emotions take over at the time. After the profit came in, I first closed the +273.4% portion to protect the gains, leaving 96% to continue watching the next leg. The larger the gains, the more I need to remind myself not to get carried away. Panic comes from having no plan, and chaos comes from having no discipline. This is even less of a place to chase now. If you want to get in, wait for the next pullback to form a new structure. Those who missed it don’t need to rush—there will be more opportunities. $SOL $BTC
