#"Mastering Trendlines: Major vs Local" 📈 BTC/USD shows a strong uptrend supported by a Major Trendline while reacting to short-term pullbacks along a Local Trendline. 🧠 Use major trendlines to define overall direction and local trendlines for precise entry and exit points. 🔍 Don’t just follow price — follow the structure behind the move.
📉 BTC 15-Min Trendline Breakdown — Waiting for Clean Retest
BTC has just broken below the 15-minute ascending trendline, invalidating the short-term bullish structure. I’m not shorting immediately — instead, I’m waiting for a clean retest of the broken trendline for a possible short entry.
🧭 Trade Plan
Bias: Short (if breakdown holds)
Trigger: Retest of broken trendline at $107,900–$108,000
Entry: On 15m bearish rejection candle (wick / engulfing)
Stop-loss: Above retest high (around $108,100)
TP1: $107,300
TP2: $106,800
TP3: $105,500
I will not enter unless there's a clean 15-minute confirmation. If BTC reclaims the trendline, I’ll flip neutral and reassess.

📌 BTC Trade Plan – Waiting for the Pullback (15m Ascending Triangle)
BTC tapped the local resistance twice at $108,294 and $108,295, forming a micro ascending triangle from the $107,800 base. Instead of chasing the breakout, I’m waiting for a clean pullback entry, where risk is lower and confirmation is stronger.
🎯 Setup Details:
Support zone to watch: $107,800 – $108,000
Trigger: Bullish 15m candle off support
SL: $107,500 (below trendline)
TP1: $108,700
TP2: $109,200
TP3: $109,800+ (if breakout extends)
I’ll only enter if price respects the trendline and forms a strong bounce (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing). No FOMO — I’d rather miss than get trapped.
BTC broke below the 4H ascending trendline, but price has now been holding just in it for 13 hours, forming multiple 1H candles with long lower wicks. This signals a potential liquidity sweep and fake breakdown, especially since sellers failed to follow through. If BTC closes a 1H candle above $107.8K–$108K, I’ll look to enter a long position targeting the previous range top.
📊 Trade Plan (Reversal Setup)
Entry trigger: 1H close above $107.8K–$108.0K
Stop-loss: Below the wick low ($106.3K)
TP1: $108,800
TP2: $110,000
TP3 (extension): $113,000
Risk/reward: 2:1 minimum
A clean reclaim of the trendline with volume would confirm this move. Still waiting for candle confirmation — not entering early.

🕯️ How to Catch a Bounce Like a Pro 📍 BTC 15m Reversal at $108,456
Ever wondered how to trust a support zone before going long?
✅ Here's how I caught today’s bounce:
1️⃣ Marked Support Zone: $108,450 – $108,700 2️⃣ Waited for Candle Confirmation 🔨 A hammer candle formed with a long wick = buyer defense 3️⃣ Volume spiked + RSI rising 4️⃣ Entered after the green candle closed above the last 2 reds 🎯 Precision beats prediction
🧠 Candle alone is not enough. 📊 Combine price action + RSI + volume = high-probability setup.
🕯️ How to Read a Daily Candle: The Untold Story Behind a Single Candle
“Don’t just look at where the candle ends—look at how it got there.” Whether you’re trading Bitcoin or any crypto, reading a single daily candle correctly can be the difference between catching the next big move—or getting stopped out in confusion. Most traders only look at the open and close of the candle. But the real power lies in understanding what happened inside that candle—how buyers and sellers fought during the day. Let’s break it down using a common—but misunderstood—candle formation. 🔍 The Candle Scenario: More Than Meets the Eye Imagine this: The candle opens low, even below yesterday’s close Then it dips deeper, pushing to new lows But instead of collapsing, price climbs back up Finally, it closes in the middle of the range At first glance, some traders say: “That’s just indecision.” But a deeper look reveals something more: > ❝ That candle tells a story of sellers failing and buyers fighting back. ❞ 🧠 What This Candle Really Tells Us ✅ 1. The Open Was Weak Sellers controlled the early part of the day, dragging price below yesterday's levels. 🔻 2. The Low Went Deeper Bears tried to break key support or trigger stop-losses—this is a classic liquidity grab. 🔼 3. Buyers Stepped In Instead of collapsing, price recovered. That means buyers absorbed the selling. ⚖️ 4. Close in the Middle The day ended without clear dominance. But remember: the fight didn’t go fully to the bears. This is often called a spinning top or high-volume neutral candle, and it’s not weak when it forms after a sell-off near support 💡 The Hidden Bullish Signal When this type of candle appears after a downtrend or near a support zone, it’s a possible trend reversal signal — even though it doesn't look strongly bullish yet. It shows: Sellers are losing steam Buyers are absorbing the lows The market is ready to flip if confirmed 📈 What To Do Next Use the next candle to confirm the direction:If... Then... Next candle breaks the high of this candle Consider entering a long (buy) Next candle breaks the low Bears may retest support or break it lower Price stays within the range Consolidation; wait and watch 🔐 Real-World Tip (From Binance Guides) Binance Square and Binance Academy suggest that candles like this—when paired with support, trendlines, or volume spikes—are best watched as transitional signals. They’re often the warning before a reversal, not the confirmation. 🎯 Key Takeaways A candle’s story is inside its wicks and body—not just the open and close Long lower wicks mean buyers are rejecting the downside Mid-body closes signal indecision—but not always weakness Watch the next candle for confirmation Combine candle reading with volume, support zones, and trendlines for high-probability setups 📌 Final Word > In trading, flexibility is power. You may start the day bearish—but the candle might convince you otherwise. That’s not flip-flopping. That’s reading the market. #candlestick
While many see this as a bullish bounce, my chart tells a different story.
✅ BTC is bouncing on a key trendline, but trapped below multiple EMAs ❌ No strong volume ❌ RSI still mid — not oversold ❌ Price capped by a descending resistance line
This is a classic descending triangle forming on the 1D chart.
🎯 Bearish Target: $97,333 🚨 If price breaks the trendline and closes below $105.5K, expect acceleration 🛑 Invalidation: Strong breakout above $107.6K

🛡️ How Smart Traders Protect Their BTC Scalps (1-Min Chart)
Scalping BTC on the 1-minute chart? Seeing a hammer candle doesn’t mean you go in blind.
Here’s how pros protect every trade:
🔴 1. Stop-Loss = First Defense Set just below the hammer wick. If price breaks the wick, the reversal failed. Always protect your capital.
🟡 2. Watch Next Candle Only enter if the next candle is green and closes above the hammer’s body. No confirmation? Stay out. The second candle is the truth.
🟢 3. Proper Size = Freedom Only risk what you’re okay to lose (1–2%). $5 capital? Risk $0.20–$0.50. That way, losing trades don’t damage your mindset.
🧠 Bonus Pro Moves:
Break-even stop once trade is +50% to TP ✅
Time stop: Exit if no breakout after 3 candles 🕒
📌 “SL is your shield. Price action is your sword. Sizing is your armor.” Trade small, think big.
🟩 BTC Long Setup – Bullish Engulfing Found on 5-Min Chart
Price reacted strongly at the $106,860 support, forming a bullish engulfing pattern — a sign of smart money defending the dip.
📌 Trade Idea:
Entry: $107,160 ✅
SL: $106,850 🛑
TP1: $107,480 (EMA200 area)
TP2: $107,800+ (breakout zone)
🧠 Why this matters:
Engulfing pattern = reversal confirmation Volume building gradually RSI bouncing near 60 Above 50 EMA = next leg starts ⏳ Wait for candle close above $107,200 for stronger confirmation.
📊 Structure first, emotions later. This is how small traders ride with big moves.
🧠 “Hindi importante kung ilan ang trades mo — ang mahalaga, quality entry.”
🟢 Bullish Bounce Price holds above $107,200 and pushes toward $108,500 and maybe $110K+ 60% ✅ Most likely if BTC holds above 107k — backed by rising structure + near liquidity grab zone 🟠 Fakeout + Pullback Brief push to $107,800–108,200 then rejection back to $106,800 25% ⚠️ Common when volume is low or breakout is front-run by sell pressure 🔴 Breakdown Below $107K BTC dips under 107k to hunt stop-losses and test $106,500 or $106,000 15% ❗ Only likely if sudden bearish news hits, or major whale sells trigger cascading stops
Reason: Price bounced on previous FVG + volume spike on 1H
📊 Observations:
Liquidity clusters remain above $109K
Weak short volume on weekend → possible squeeze setup
RSI neutral, EMAs aligned bullish on 1H/4H
