Everyone thinks a sudden green candle is a signal to jump in immediately, but actually, buying right at the peak of an impulsive move is how most accounts get drained.

We have all felt that panic of watching a chart take off while sitting on the sidelines, only to buy the top and end up holding a painful loss. Chasing momentum without patience is where most traders bleed capital.

Think of an aggressive breakout like sprinting up a steep hill. A runner can burst forward with immense power, but they inevitably need to pause and catch their breath before moving any further. On the 1-hour timeframe, $NEAR established a clean upward impulse out of prior consolidation and is currently hovering near local highs around $4.17.

While momentum looks solid compared to moves across $SOL and the broader market, entering immediately after an impulse often leads to unnecessary drawdowns. Smart market participants usually let the dust settle to see if buyers can actually defend these new price levels.

Are you waiting for a retest before taking a position, or do you prefer trading the initial breakout?
