Well, TVIX got all the way back down to $2.87 today so it was indeed a good thing to have sold @3.44. I did get back in a bit too early @$3.01 but I had set my stops at $2.86 and as a result I was not taken out. While not perfect, I did shave a nice 43 cents off of my cost basis so I was quite happy to take it. I've reset my stops to $2.90 because it already hit my retracement target posted here in advance (model from that link is below). So I expect it to go higher on Monday and if I don't get that then something is wrong and I want to get stopped out cheaply.

Thus is is possible that we get a head fake up on Monday to either the red or the blue and then a lower low than today's low, and perhaps lower than $2.50 as well. So I will have my hand on the trigger Monday at the open and if we cannot break $3.20 convincingly I will just sell and then buy back later in the day if it does end up going higher. In other words, protect capital at the expense of gains in this situation.
Really the best thing that could happen to me would be a clear a-b-c upward move (which would be my sell signal) and then a rapid 5-wave impulsive C wave collapse back down while I sit on the sidelines again looking to buy even more shares at lower prices.
Eventually the topping process will complete and then TVIX is going to go up scary fast. We've already seen some big upward moves and once the bear is fully unleashed on the broader markets, people will be fighting each other for this crash insurance. But until we get a higher high than $4.20, we cannot assume the bull is dead and the bear is in charge. It's getting closer though. All the signs are coming together.
