#FridayClose #tradingplan #RiskManagement #CryptoStrategy #ETHBTC
Fridays decide how the weekend trades and how Monday opens. Use this fast, rules‑based blueprint to protect the week’s PnL and position for the next move—without overtrading late-day noise.
Read the weekly structure in 2 minutes
Above last week’s high (WLH): trending week → protect runners, allow small adds on strength.
Inside last week’s range: range week → fade edges only, carry smaller risk.
Below last week’s low (WLL): risk‑off → de‑risk to core, plan fresh entries next week.
Score the tape: 3 quick signals
ETH/BTC: Higher‑highs = alt breadth potential; lower‑highs = keep exposure BTC/ETH‑heavy.
ETF flows: Two consecutive greens = hold winners; two reds = trim and avoid late adds.
BTC dominance: Drifting down while BTC holds = risk-on; spiking up on red BTC = reduce beta.
Manage winners like a pro
Trim into Friday afternoon strength: 25–30% at first resistance or measured move.
Trail the rest under the latest 4h higher‑low. If price closes below that HL on volume, exit.
If funding turns extreme against the trend and price stalls, tighten stops and take an extra 10–15% off.
Cut losers decisively
If a position hasn’t moved in favor within 48 hours, reduce to half or close—time stop.
Any break of the initial invalidation (last 4h HL/LH) on volume = exit fully; no “weekend hope.”
Weekend posture guide
Trend week, broad green breadth: Hold core (BTC/ETH) and 1–2 leaders; cap total open risk at 50–60% of weekday size.
Choppy/range week: Close tactical alts; keep only core with tight stops or go flat.
Event risk ahead (macro/ETF/major upgrade): De‑risk; prepare alerts instead of positions.
Prepare Monday in advance
Mark next week’s provisional levels: this week’s high/low → becomes WLH/WLL on Sunday close.
Set alerts now:
Reclaim WLH (breakout)
Lose WLL (breakdown)
BTC dominance trendline break
Draft entries: “If Close → Retest → Hold above WLH, buy; stop under retest low.”
Journal the week in 5 lines
What worked: Setup, timeframe, reason.
What didn’t: Rule broken or signal missed.
Risk review: Max drawdown, average risk per trade.
Market regime note: Trend/range, flows, ETH/BTC behavior.
Next-week focus: 3 tickers, levels, invalidations.
Don’ts that save accounts
Don’t open fresh positions in the last hour chasing a headline.
Don’t widen stops “just for the weekend.”
Don’t carry more than two tactical alts into uncertain flows.
