🧪 He Shorted This Altcoin. It Dropped 14% in 24 Hours

Sherlock’s $MASA short just printed. TP2 hit. Here’s how we nailed it, and what’s coming next.

Good Morning! 

Yeah, we’ve been a little quiet, but only because we’ve been cooking. While your favorite Twitter “analyst” was busy backtesting RSI crossovers on a demo account, we hired real devs and started building something the market’s not ready for. It’s not just a tool, it’s a f***ing cheat code.

But more on that soon.

In the meantime? Sherlock’s been printing. $MASA short, TP2 hit, 14.5% in the bag. If you were in the Lab, you caught it live.

Read on for the breakdown, market catalysts, and your weekly reminder that TradingLab isn’t here to play, we’re here to win.

Let’s get into it 👇

I’ve been a bit quiet lately… and here’s why:

I’m building something huge. 👀

I’ve hired a team of devs and poured my heart (and a LOT of money) into creating a revolutionary trading tool. It’s more than a website - it’s going to change how people trade. Nothing like it exists online right now.

It’s still in development and a couple of months away, but I had to let you in on the secret.

I’ve never been more excited about a launch.

The Play

Sherlock dropped this spicy little short in the TradingLab community, and it delivered cleanly. Here's the setup that caught our attention:

  • Pair: $MASA/USDT

  • Entry: Market price at $0.01758

  • DCA Range: Up to $0.01879 (50% size)

  • Stop Loss: $0.01972 (Hard Stop)

  • Target: $0.01151

  • Leverage: 3x–10x

  • Rating: 6/10 – decent conviction

  • Exchanges: BloFin, Bitunix, Binance only

It’s already smashed through TP2 for a 14.5% move. Clean execution from Sherlock, and there’s still meat on the bone.

The Catalyst

Masa (MASA) has been fading hard after a failed breakout attempt above key daily resistance. On-chain and macro sentiment are both risk-off right now:

  • Altcoins got clipped after the latest White House digital asset policy hit wires, spooking speculative flows (Reuters).

  • Broader markets are leaning defensive after Trump slapped on fresh tariffs and the Fed turned cold on cuts, pushing the dollar higher, bad combo for microcaps like MASA.

  • MASA failed to reclaim the previous range highs and got rejected hard, textbook lower high breakdown on volume.

Our Take

This is a textbook short: range breakdown, weak retest, followed by that classic dead-cat jiggle before a hard flush. Sherlock played it smooth, no overthinking, just level-to-level execution. The 6/10 confidence rating meant manage risk, but if you sized it right, this was a textbook print.

And let’s be real: if you’re sitting on the sidelines watching this stuff play out after the fact… you’re doing it wrong.
