Trading Bitcoin requires a mix of macro awareness and short-term technical analysis. Last week, BTC hovered near a major psychological level. Everyone was watching it — would it break up or down? I stayed on the sidelines, watching the lower timeframes. On the 15-minute chart, I noticed a fake-out above resistance with a quick rejection candle — classic trap. I waited for confirmation of the reversal. When the second bearish candle formed with volume, I entered short. The price dropped fast. My stop-loss was just above the trap candle, and my target was the bottom of the range. It hit smoothly. This trade wasn’t about luck. It was about reading market behavior — the trap, the reaction, the confirmation.BTC often plays with traders’ emotions. That’s why you need a clear system and a cold mindset. I didn’t guess. I followed the chart. This trade reminded me how important it is to be patient and let price action guide your decisions, especially with BTC, which moves with both force and deception.
