After these $AZTEC short positions were executed, the chart became very clear: it wasn’t suddenly getting weak; it had already been continuously sending signals earlier. Price couldn’t break up higher, but the key levels were slowly moving down. In this kind of position, I won’t fantasize that the bulls can come to the rescue.

I entered the short around 0.02762. Back then, I was watching the rebound strength and whether trading would follow through. The rebound didn’t keep up; instead, selling pressure became more and more obvious. Now the price is at 0.01401, profit is +1212.77%. The market’s room has been released, and the outcome on the position has already provided feedback.

The easiest place to make a mistake in this segment is getting shaken out by a small counter-rally in the middle of the drop, or wanting to take it all in one bite after getting into profit. I’m more inclined to use an 80/20 approach: first protect the profits, then keep the remaining position with a protective level and monitor it—if it can extend, hold; if it can’t, don’t stubbornly force it.

In futures, it’s more important to stay in longer than to rush in hard for a moment. If you miss this trade, don’t rush—don’t chase. Wait for the next opportunity and a more comfortable entry.
