At the start of December, during that wave of pullback, my account dropped straight from 1.8 million to 1.4 million, giving back all 400k in profits.

But after I added a SOL short position? The account peaked at 2.1 million. The market returned everything I lost, with interest.

To be honest, judging the market direction really isn't that hard. The hard part is holding onto your positions.

A lot of people can predict the market correctly, but the ones who truly make money are those who can sit tight. When your unrealized profits pull back, do you panic? When the market chops and shakes you out, do you exit? That's the key.

I’ve been holding a short on ETH since it was at 4500 in October, all the way until now. Through this process, I’ve learned one thing—don’t try to catch every move. What’s important is to distinguish between noise and true signals.

Trends don’t play out in a straight line. It’s like a river; it can't always flow straight—it’ll bend and swirl, but it will eventually reach where it’s supposed to go.

My bearish stance hasn’t changed.

Ethereum, see you at 1300.

Trading comes down to two words—hold on!
