Recapping the Thrilling $38,000 Gain in 10 Minutes – $TRUMP $ETH
At 11:57 PM last night, Trump made a surprise announcement. I caught the news at 12:03 AM and spent about five minutes verifying the source. Once I confirmed its legitimacy, I quickly jumped in with a $10,000 position and alerted a few friends on WeChat, also sharing the news in the plaza. By around 12:15, TRUMP began to surge. I followed up with another $10,000 entry, bringing my total position to $20,000, leveraged 10x.
Due to previous trading losses, I lacked the confidence to hold long-term. I took partial profits when the price hit 13.9. However, the rally continued. When I saw the price spike to 16 and pull back to 14.5 and 15.1, I exited the rest of my position. Had I held throughout, the gain could’ve been around $80,000—but I still made $38,000 in 10 minutes, which I can’t complain about.
Unfortunately, many friends in the plaza saw my post too late or hesitated, entering at higher prices and ending up at a loss. I genuinely feel bad about that.
This trade highlighted the volatility and unpredictability of today’s “monkey market.” The shifting narratives make it tough to trade with conviction. I’m being cautious moving forward—no overreaching. I’m still holding a large position with a margin at 1782, now temporarily around 1555. I plan to adjust my stop-loss and have no intention of re-entering.
Wishing everyone success. If I spot another high-confidence setup, I’ll definitely share it.
