Value 68.3, approaching the overbought area (above 70). Although it has not yet reached the overbought threshold, one should be cautious of potential price pullback risks at any time.
3. Key price points
- Upper resistance: The primary resistance is $108,915 (Bollinger Band upper line), followed by $109,000 as a psychological level, which has strong selling pressure;
- Lower support: $108,234 (user opening price) provides short-term support, while the more critical support level is $107,800 (Bollinger Band midline).
III. Take-profit strategy planning
1. Conservative take-profit plan
- Action: Close 50% of the position in the range of $108,800 - $108,900.
- Logic: This price level is close to the strong resistance at the upper Bollinger Band, while the RSI indicator is approaching the overbought area, increasing the risk of a short-term pullback. By closing half of the position, partial profits can be locked in, reducing holding risks.
- Expected profit: If closed at $108,850, a profit of about 616 points can be obtained ($108,850 - $108,234).
2. Aggressive take-profit plan
- Trigger conditions: When the price breaks through $109,000 (previous high) with increased volume, and the MACD red bars continue to expand.
- Action: Set the target take-profit for the remaining 50% position at $109,200 - $109,500, specifically to close at $109,300.
- Logic: If it successfully breaks through $109,000, it indicates strong bullish momentum in the market, which may open up upward space for further potential gains.
- Expected profit: If closed at $109,300, the remaining position can yield a profit of about 1,066 points.
3. Trailing stop loss settings
- Initial stop loss: Move the stop loss up to the opening price of $108,234 to ensure capital safety;
- After breaking $108,800: Move the stop loss up to $108,600 to protect about 70% of profits;
- After breaking $109,000: Move the stop loss up to $108,900 to lock in most of the profits.
IV. Risk warning and response
1. Overbought pullback risk: If the RSI indicator breaks through 75, while accompanied by shrinking trading volume, one should be cautious of a significant price pullback and consider taking profits early;
2. Resistance level suppression risk: When the price touches $108,900, if the candlestick shows a long upper shadow or the MACD momentum bars shrink, indicating heavy selling pressure above, it is advisable to reduce positions in advance;
3. Trend reversal risk: If the 1-hour candlestick closes below $107,800 (Bollinger Band midline), it is considered a weakening of the short-term trend, and it is recommended to close all positions and exit.
V. Strategy execution priority
Prioritize closing 50% of the position at $108,850 → If the price breaks through $109,000, simultaneously move the stop loss up and hold the remaining position → Finally close the remaining 50% position at $109,300 to maximize profits under controllable risks.
