The direction wasn’t only right today—it finally started generating profits today. The most frustrating part of this trade wasn’t getting the direction wrong, but that it was right all along and simply refused to move. During the pullback later that night, I saw that it hadn’t broken the key level and had instead regained its footing, so I opened a long position around 0.48938. The price has now reached 0.67965, bringing the return to +383.34%. If you’re not confident, watch; act only when you are. I’ve taken profits on 70% of the position, while continuing to hold the remaining 30%. The stop-loss has been moved to around breakeven, making the safety cushion increasingly thicker. Only profits secured in your pocket count as profits. Those who didn’t get in at this level shouldn’t rush. There will definitely be new opportunities ahead—the market opens every day, so missing this shot is no big deal. $ETH $SNDK

I was just about to go to the forum and start cursing, but then I looked at my balance and thought better of it—the market is always right. 😏 There’s your answer, brothers. $SNDK came all the way down from 1650.95 and is now at 1594.98, so this short position directly pocketed gains of +240.55%. It was truly sluggish at first, but once it moved, it felt great. When the intraday plunge happened, everyone else was running, while I kept watching the chart and confirming repeatedly. Each SNDK rebound was weaker than the last, and every upward push was just short of enough momentum. This kind of weak rebound is practically serving up profits for short positions. I entered the short directly without hesitation. The operation was simple: first close 70% and put the bulk of the profits in my pocket. Move the stop-loss on the remaining 20% to the entry price and let it run on its own. For a trade you’re unsure about, taking a look keeps you clear-headed; buying a position makes you foolish. The prerequisite for compound growth is staying alive, and the shortcut to getting rich overnight is often ending up at zero. 🤙 For those who haven’t gotten on board yet, take my advice: now is not the time to charge in. Wait for the next signal before making a move. There will be more opportunities, so there’s no need to rush this one. $DOGE $ETH

WINTERMUTE IS SHORT — BUT DON’T BLINDLY FOLLOW Wintermute is sitting on roughly $160M in on-chain exposure, with around $146M in shorts and only ~$13.85M on the other side. That looks aggressively bearish at first glance. But there’s a catch 👀 Market makers don’t trade like retail. They can build positions on-chain while hedging exposure elsewhere, especially on CEXs. Funding can also become a source of yield while the larger book is being managed. So don’t see a huge short wallet and instantly think: “Smart money is dumping. I should short too.” The real question is: What is Wintermute hedging against? On-chain data shows one side of the book. It doesn’t show the full picture. 🐻 Big short ≠ guaranteed downside. $ETH ‌$SOL ‌#GateLaunchesJapaneseStockTrading
