One painful trading lesson I've learned is that shorting too early can be just as dangerous as buying the top. I've learned to wait for confirmation instead of letting fear control my decisions.

$SOL is trading near $102, with resistance around $102.50–$104.50. I'm watching this zone for a possible bearish rejection. If sellers regain control, Solana could revisit lower support levels. But a breakout above resistance would weaken my bearish outlook.

📊 My SOL/USDT Short Setup

🔴 Entry: $102.50–$104.50

🛑 Stop Loss: $107.20

🎯 Take Profit Targets:

TP1: $99.10

TP2: $96.70

TP3: $94.00

TP4: $91.10

My 3 trading lessons:

1. Wait for confirmation. I won't enter simply because SOL reaches resistance.

2. Protect capital. I calculate position size before trading and limit my planned account risk to 1%.

3. Secure profits gradually. I prefer partial exits rather than expecting every target to hit.

My rule is simple: if $SOL breaks above my invalidation level, I accept the loss. No revenge trading, no emotional decisions, and no excessive leverage.

These targets are scenarios, not guarantees.
