$BTC $ETH

Something’s brewing in the Bitcoin charts… and it’s getting interesting.


Price is now wrestling with that heavy 117–118k resistance — a level the market hasn’t been able to conquer easily. Each time Bitcoin pushes here, sellers swing in hard, almost like they’re guarding a treasure chest.


But here’s the catch — one strong 4-hour close above 118k with serious volume could flip the script entirely… and once that door opens, the path to 120k might be lightning fast.


Swing Trade Setup – BTC/USD


Bias: Bullish only if breakout confirms


Key Levels:




  • Resistance: 117,000–118,000 (major supply zone)




  • Breakout Trigger: 4H candle close above 118,000 with above-average volume




  • Target 1: 120,000 (psychological round number + measured move from range)




  • Target 2: 122,500 (extension level if momentum holds)




  • Stop Loss: Below 116,200 (under recent 4H swing low to avoid fakeouts)




Setup Logic:




  • Market is testing a well-respected resistance that has rejected price multiple times.




  • A high-volume 4H close above 118k signals that sellers at this level have been absorbed.




  • Once cleared, there’s a low-volume gap up to 120k, meaning price could accelerate quickly.




Trade Plan:




  • Wait for breakout candle close + retest confirmation before entering.




  • Enter on retest near 118k with tight stop at 116.2k.




  • Partial profit at 120k, trail stop for runners toward 122.5k.




Risk Note:




  • If breakout fails and price closes back under 117.5k, expect another rejection toward 115k.




  • No breakout = no trade. Patience is your friend here.


So now the big question: is this just another tease… or are we about to witness the breakout everyone’s been waiting for? 👀
