I was just about to close the app when a wave of short positions got cashed out📉😎 A few days ago, the last look before bed, $ETH probing upward, but there was clearly selling pressure above; the volume also didn’t back it up. The chart looked lively, but the follow-through was actually very weak—so I didn’t go chasing the excitement.



What I saw was a rally with no real volume. I judged that the “induce longs” (bait) was strong here—especially after the price got close to a key level, it just couldn’t hold. So at the time I advised a small-size short around 1817.54. The core point was just one thing: don’t follow the crowd and get carried away when others are excited👀

Now it’s moved from 1817.54 to 1727.4, with a return of +864.05%. This move’s timing was right on target✅🔥 It’s not that every time you need to push hard—if the direction is correct, hold patiently, and the profit will naturally come out.

Some money isn’t made through impulse.
Take profits when it’s time.

As for the position, don’t linger to fight it out. First close 70%📌 The remaining 30% is protected at the cost level. If it continues, let it run; even if it pulls back, don’t let the profits become uncomfortable🎯 When trading futures, don’t always think about grabbing it all. Being able to secure the bulk is already very satisfying.

If you didn’t catch it, don’t chase⚠️ Chasing the tail is easy to get hit—especially now that the price has moved from your opening price to the current price. When emotions kick in, you’re likely to buy at an awkward spot. Wait for the next time there’s a clear signal, wait for the structure to give another opportunity, and then look at the next round for a more comfortable entry🔔
