Technical Analysis: Why I Entered the Short Trade
The short entry at 90.337 was taken after a failed recovery attempt and confirmation that sellers remained in control.
Key technical factors:
Bearish Structure Preservation
SOL continued to print lower highs, confirming that bearish structure remained intact.Rejection From Key Level
Price failed to accept above resistance, signalling a lack of bullish commitment.Momentum Confirmation on Execution Timeframe
Bearish follow-through validated continuation lower without the need for anticipation.
This was a reactive short, not a counter-trend scalp.
Exit Strategy: Covering Into Weakness
This trade was managed as an intraday continuation short, with profits taken methodically into downside expansion.
Exit at 88.294 Into Downside Expansion
The position was closed as price pushed into short-term weakness, locking in gains ahead of any potential bounce.Risk Discipline Over Maximum Capture
The exit respected the plan and prioritised realised gains over chasing additional extension.
Key Takeaways from the Trade
- Shorts work best when structure holds and rallies fail

As always:
