Today I opened a position on BTC/USDT as it hovered around $102,900, reacting to a clean bounce off the $102,000–$103,000 short-term range. I felt the momentum shift when the price dipped to about $102,500 twice—strong support showed up. So, I went long with a modest 0.4% profit target around $103,300 and set my stop-loss just under $102,400 to manage risk.
Within 30 minutes, the price ticked up and I exited near $103,300, locking in a small but consistent gain. I always jot down entry time, price levels, and trade rationale immediately after closing—it really helps refine strategies over time. BTC’s liquidity makes it ideal for these short-term plays, and today’s clean support-resistance move was a textbook setup.
