Step 1:
Identify the Pin Bar
A pin bar is a candle with:
Long wick (shadow) and small body
Shows rejection of a price level (e.g., buyers push BTC up or sellers push it down)
Direction hint:
Long lower wick → bullish signal (buyers stepping in)
Long upper wick → bearish signal (sellers stepping in)
Tip: Look at 5-min or 15-min charts for scalping. Too long (1H+) and you miss micro-moves.
Step 2:
Confirm with Support/Resistance
Check if the pin bar touches a strong support or resistance level.
Example: BTC dips to $27,500 (support) and forms a long lower wick pin bar → potential bounce.
Step 3:
Entry
Bullish pin: Enter just above the candle body
Bearish pin: Enter just below the candle body
Keep your stop-loss just beyond the wick (the “rejection” part) to minimize risk.
Step 4:
Take Profit
Scalping is quick. Target 1–2% gains per trade or the next resistance/support zone.
Avoid being greedy; micro-profits add up.
Step 5:
Use Binance Tools to Your Advantage
Limit & market orders: Use limit orders to enter at the perfect spot.
Stop-limit: Protect yourself from sudden BTC swings.
Binance Square Analytics: Spot trending micro-moves in BTC for potential scalping setups.
Quick Example
BTC drops to $27,500 → long lower wick appears (5-min candle)
Enter at $27,520 (above pin body)
Stop-loss: $27,480 (below wick)
Take profit: $27,770 (next resistance)
✅ Result: ~1% gain in 5–15 minutes
