Today's short on $XLM was interesting. It didn't seem exciting at first, but it later gave the answer. Many people like to chase the hottest moves, but honestly, I'm more afraid of a market that suddenly goes quiet after a high.

XLM surged too fast earlier. When it couldn't stabilize around the key area for a while, I started looking for short opportunities. My focus was around 0.18690 – not a random pick, but because I saw the retracement lacked strength and volume didn't continue to expand.

The real change came after a fake breakout. The price didn't hold, then dropped from 0.18690 to 0.18048. The short position paid off, showing +243.73% in the account. I didn't try to take the full move; I just moved my stop loss down step by step, taking whatever the rhythm allowed.

This kind of market movement is easy to misjudge. People think that if it drops, it will keep dropping. But the truth is, the more profit you make, the slower you should go. Don't chase the tail end, don't bet on emotions – wait for the next comfortable entry before moving.
