Technical Analysis on SOLUSDC: Executing a +149.7% ROI Short Trade
On 6 February 2026, I closed a SOLUSDC short trade on Hyperliquid, capturing +149.7% ROI by aligning with bearish structure and letting downside continuation do the work.
Trade Summary
- Instrument: SOLUSDC
- Position: SHORT
- Leverage: —
- Entry Price: 78.679
- Exit Price: 72.758
- P&L: +149.7%
Technical Analysis: Why I Entered the Short Trade
The short entry at 78.679 was taken after confirmation that bullish recovery attempts had fully failed and downside momentum was in control.
Key technical factors:
Decisive Bearish Structure Shift
SOL failed to reclaim prior support and continued to print lower highs, confirming a bearish regime.Acceptance Below Key Levels
Price accepted below the prior consolidation area, invalidating any bullish continuation scenarios.Strong Downside Momentum Confirmation
Expanding bearish candles and follow-through validated continuation lower without the need to anticipate a top.
This was a confirmation-driven short, not a prediction-based entry.
Exit Strategy: Covering Into Downside Expansion
This trade was managed as a momentum continuation short, with profits taken as price expanded aggressively lower.
Exit at 72.758 Into Downside Extension
The position was closed into weakness after a strong downside leg, locking in gains ahead of any potential reaction.Execution Discipline Over Perfection
The goal was not to catch the absolute low, but to execute cleanly within the plan and protect realised gains.
Key Takeaways from the Trade
- Large returns come from structure + continuation
- Letting winners run requires confirmation, not hope
- Execution discipline compounds faster than prediction
As always:
React to what price confirms. Ignore what it suggests.
