Many people ask me how to seize opportunities and make money in short-term trading. Instead of just discussing theories, I’ll share a recent real trade example. The key to success this time? It lies in spotting the right timing, market judgment, and disciplined execution.

At 3 a.m., while reviewing charts, I suddenly saw a certain asset plunge, hitting a low around 5.8. My first reaction was a shock, but I didn’t rush to buy. Instead, I looked at the data first. Interestingly, although this big bearish candle dropped sharply, the trading volume didn’t show abnormal expansion—that’s a very important signal. The price quickly recovered, indicating there wasn’t any real negative news, just emotional panic. That’s how the opportunity presented itself.

Next, I assessed the market from two perspectives. From an emotional standpoint, I checked major community comment sections—full of panic voices, with some even calling for a drop below 5. This extreme sentiment often signals a brewing reversal. From a technical perspective, the hourly chart showed a clear lower shadow, and the lows kept rising, meaning the short-term structure was quickly repairing.

Both signals pointed to the same conclusion: this is a window for bottom-fishing. The subsequent entry points and take-profit strategies became relatively clear. In short-term trading, it’s about finding resonance between extreme emotions and technical signals, then acting decisively.
