I would go down in trophies for a bit. That's what I did when I first moved to TH9 and what I'm now doing again as a recent TH10. I use only Barch at gold III and clean up as a TH10, same as I did as a TH9 doing the same thing in the same place. If you don't absolutely have to go high, then stay low for a bit and enjoy the loot.
