The key level I was watching finally gave an answer. This time, $DOT isn’t a normal pullback—it’s an intentional downward push after the high couldn’t be held.

At the time, I was focusing on the 1.280 area. Every time the price bounced back, it couldn’t sustain the move. On the surface, it still looked like consolidation, but in reality the structure had already clearly changed. A lot of people were still waiting for a breakout, but what I’m seeing is that the overhead supply has been getting heavier. Once that key level gets smashed through, it becomes easier for the shorts to push down further. It has already moved to 0.836 now. This short has a profit of +2461.27%, and the room for volatility has opened up nicely.

One thing to note here: short-trade profits are the ultimate test of human nature. When it drops, you want to hold for more; but if there’s a rebound, you’re afraid of giving back the gains. So I won’t hand all the profit over to the market. I’m more comfortable handling it with an 80/20 split: most of it will be realized first, and a smaller portion will follow using a protection level.

Next, I won’t rush to add positions. First, I’ll assess the quality of the rebound. If you’re not in the trade, don’t chase the order, and don’t chase at key levels—wait for a more comfortable entry.
