Here's what happened when a short on IRYS got filled instead of just talked about in the comments.

Most perp traders know this pain. You FOMO the bounce, freeze on the exit, and call it conviction until the position is already deep red.

$IRYSUSDT was a clean little case study. The short filled around 0.12, and IRYS then slid about 54.35%. That is not a slow grind. It looks closer to those sharp alt unwinds that show up when $BTC chops sideways and the smaller books just empty out. Plenty of mid-cap perps have done the same thing before: a crowded long, a failed reclaim, then one ugly move that makes the early short look obvious only after the fill. The useful part was the wait. The idea was a bigger short, not a knife catch on every red tick, and patience around that 0.12 area mattered more than guessing the exact bottom.

Where do you think $IRYS goes from here, another leg down or just a dead-cat bounce?
