Early Monday morning, I was still holding my breakfast and checking the market when $SAPIEN's price action suddenly felt off—the order book was eerily quiet.

The funding rate plunged from +0.02% straight down to -0.07%, trading volume instantly shrank by 40%, and the whole market seemed frozen. I didn’t hesitate much and opened a short position at 0.091 with a $9,000 position, stop-loss set at 0.094, just aiming for a quick swing.

To my surprise, in less than ten minutes, the market exploded—a big red candle crashed down to 0.06, and my phone was blowing up with notifications. My account was showing a floating profit of $52,000, and I almost dropped my breakfast.

That night, I immediately withdrew $30,000 into my pocket, leaving the remaining profits rolling in the market. I literally went to bed grinning that night.

Tuesday was even crazier. $SAPIEN’s price was stuck around 2760, barely moving, and volume kept shrinking. I went long with the $22,000 I had left from the previous day, kept the position light, stop-loss at 2730, target at 2890, and still didn’t dare to size up.

Around 2 a.m., the contract suddenly saw a huge surge in trades, and within three minutes it shot straight up to 2895. I reflexively closed the position—another $16,000 in the bag. It was more thrilling than sniping a flash sale.

That’s when I realized: sometimes you only get a few minutes’ window for an opportunity—hesitate one second and the elevator’s gone.

Wednesday was the wildest.

During the day, $SAPIEN pumped to 0.047, with an obvious bearish divergence, and the funding rate started reversing again. I immediately flipped short, went in heavy with 5x leverage, $80,000 margin, stop-loss at 0.0495, liquidation at 0.051. Set the conditional order and turned off my phone to sleep.

Around 5 a.m., a giant red candle smashed from 0.047 down to 0.031—in just 8 minutes!

When I woke up and saw my account at $320,000, I nearly jumped out of bed—three days, three trades, turned $9,000 into $300,000, crazier than winning the lottery.

8:30 a.m., December 5th, live data: $SAPIEN funding rate -0.09%, long/short ratio 0.21, spot volume at $1.8 billion hitting an all-time high, order book still consolidating with shrinking volume, the eye of the storm hasn’t passed.

I’ve already moved $200,000 to cold storage, keeping $120,000 as dry powder—won’t move unless the signal is clear.

One honest takeaway: the market never gives advance notice; it just flips the table without warning.

Burn stop-loss discipline into muscle memory, keep your position size as light as a paper plane—only then can you ride the wind high and land steady.

Next time the order book goes eerily quiet like this, are you ready to hit that critical trade?

The ones who survive and profit in the market are always those who dare to take action first.

Are you ready?
