$INIT ’s candlestick today was a real love-hate sight. It surged from a low of 0.0941 all the way to 0.1477, a gain of 28.68%. The swing nearly matched the wildest part of last year’s $SOL frenzy. But it closed at 0.1256, more than 20% below the high. What does that tell us? Those who chased the rally didn’t make a dime—instead, they gave all their profits back.

I watched that pullback near 0.1477 for a long time. I know the feeling: you see it climbing, get itchy, worry you’ll miss out, and hover over the buy button. I’ve made that mistake too. It took me a while to realize that with a 24-hour swing this big and volume hitting 18.9M, the question isn’t whether you can catch the move—it’s whether you can survive it. If you take on too large a position, a pullback from a level like 0.1256 is enough to keep you up all night.

Today’s lesson is the same old one, but it bears repeating: decide where you’ll exit before you enter. My rule is simple—if it drops below around 0.11, accept the loss. Don’t stubbornly hold on at a midpoint like 0.1256 and gamble on a rebound. In crypto, a wild coin like $INIT can double your money overnight—or take you right back to square one. Those who can sleep well will be around for the next round. It’s the overnight session now, so I’m closing the charts and checking again tomorrow to see if it offers another opportunity.
