This long position was able to be executed smoothly; the key was not getting carried away only after seeing the pump, but that during the prior “grinding” period the price action didn’t produce a fake breakout that scared me into exiting. I watched $UNI for a long time; the price hovered around 3.050, repeatedly probing, without ever truly being broken down. The feeling on the order book—weakness with support/holding power—became more and more obvious.

At first, it was actually pretty agonizing. A few wick “pin” moves made me doubt my judgment, and my hand almost itched to get out early. What really kept me holding through was that after the pullback, sell pressure didn’t keep expanding; instead, it quickly reclaimed the key area. That kind of feedback matters more than simply pumping out a big bullish candle.

Later, the market moved from 3.050 all the way to 3.812. The timing finally clicked, and the result of this trade was recorded as +1771.65%. There was no chasing during the move, and short-term volatility didn’t throw my thinking off. I only got the payoff after the support finally truly appeared—patience from earlier finally found its response.

After you’ve been in the crypto market long enough, you know the hardest part is never just “calling” a rise; it’s whether you can still stick to your plan during that grinding stretch before the move actually starts. This long position made me even more certain that the most comfortable “meat” is usually from not rushing to prove yourself.
