$H Average entry price 0.107, latest price 0.075, unrealized profit 300%.
Coins with such an extremely long bearish candle are the hardest to hold—when they dip a little, you want to take profit; when they rise a little, you want to add to your short.
There were violent rebounds along the way, as well as the agony of being in unrealized losses on paper.
But I strictly followed my trading plan: I would not exit unless key resistance was broken.
The key to winning this trade was treating trading as an art of “overcoming human nature.”

Enjoying a leisurely coffee, $ONG the short-position move played out as expected✨
At the 0.13273 high, I already judged that the upside momentum was insufficient and went with the trend to set up a 20x short position.
The market’s repeated back-and-forth fluctuations kept wearing down holders’ patience. Only by staying calm could you capture the gains from this downward move. At the current price of 0.11467, I secured a 267.91% return. Friends who followed along should remember to lock in part of their profits, raise the stop-loss level, and protect their principal.
Trading is like life: learn to make choices, maintain your rhythm, and quality opportunities will always keep coming. $BTC $ETH #GateBTC现货交易全网第二

This aggressive surge caught me somewhat off guard, and I suffered heavy losses. I need a few days to recover, so I’ll keep my hands off trading for now. I’m worried that analyzing the market while emotional could affect my judgment, so I’ll take a few days off. I’ll update the article next week! For those who didn’t enter at the lower levels, I still don’t recommend blindly chasing longs. See you next week! #BTC突破$75000 $BTC $ETH
