$BTC To explain when to open a short or long position based on the chart of (BTC/USDT 15-minute timeframe), we’ll break it down
1. Current Price Action
Current price: $94,925.33
Recent high: $95,461.53
Recent low: $93,742.54
Price is rising after a dip — potentially testing resistance at $95,169.30
2. Indicators
a. Williams %R (14):
Current value: -28.54
Williams %R ranges from 0 (overbought) to -100 (oversold)
Above -20 is overbought (potential short)
Below -80 is oversold (potential long)
At -28.54 → Slightly overbought, but not extreme. Suggests potential slowdown in upward momentum.
b. OBV (On-Balance Volume):
OBV is not rising significantly, suggesting that volume is not supporting the uptrend strongly.
Flat or dropping OBV during rising prices = weak buying momentum (bearish divergence).
3. Strategy Suggestion
a. Open Short (Sell) If:
Price fails to break above resistance around $95,169 or $95,460
Williams %R crosses above -20 (strong overbought)
OBV continues to fall or stay flat = bearish divergence
Entry: Around $95,000–95,200
Target: $94,000 or lower
Stop Loss: Above $95,500
b. Open Long (Buy) If:
Price retraces to support around $94,000–$94,200 and holds
Williams %R drops below -80 and reverses upward
OBV starts rising again
Entry: Around $94,000–94,200
Target: $95,000–95,500
Stop Loss: Below $93,700
Summary:
Right now: Slight bearish pressure building (good moment to wait for rejection near resistance to short).
Not ideal to open long yet — better to wait for dip confirmation.
