On the 1-hour timeframe, BTC appears to be ranging/facing resistance near the upper levels (~US$87k-88k region) while the recent swing low is around the ~$85k zone.
The technical summary for the hourly timeframe shows “Sell” for moving averages, and a neutral reading for many indicators.
This suggests less of a strong trending move and more consolidation / sideways pressure.
So: The market looks more ranged than strongly trending at the moment.

Key Swing High / Low

Last major swing high (on 1H) ~ approx US$88k-89k range (or a little above) based on recent highs.

Last major swing low ~ ~$85k or slightly below based on recent support.

These swing pivots define the band: Resistance near ~88k-89k, support near ~85k-84k.

A swing-trade would therefore be looking for price to push toward one of these extremes with expectations of reversal or breakout.
Volume & Move Strength

While the overall 24h volume is high (~US$68-70 B) for BTC.

The fact that indicators show “Neutral” or “Sell” on hourly suggests the upward moves haven’t had super strong momentum. The lack of a strong trending pattern reinforces this.

I don’t see a clear volume‐exhaustion or blow-off pattern visible in this quick view; nor a strong impulsive breakout.

So: Volume does not yet confirm a strong trending breakout; the consolidation/range view remains valid.
Liquidity Sweeps / Stop Hunts

No clear public reference I found for a recent liquidity sweep (stop-hunt) on the 1-hour chart in the sources available.

But given the range, traders often watch for price to dip below support (~84-85k) then reverse sharply—this would be a classic liquidity sweep of stop‐losses below support, followed by reclaiming of the level.

If price were to break under ~$84k and then reclaim it, that could signal a bullish sweep setup.

Alternatively, a push above ~$89k with reclaim would suggest bullish continuation.

For now: Watch the support around ~84-85k and resistance around ~88-89k for such setups.
Strategy – Swing Trade Focus

Since you indicated you are looking at a Swing timeframe:

Given the range context, a logical swing strategy is:

Entry near support (~84-85k) with price showing a reversal candle + volume confirmation → target mid-range to resistance (~88k)

Or short near resistance (~88-89k) if the price fails to break out and shows rejection → target down toward support (~85k).

Risk management: Place stop-loss beyond the support/resistance zone (e.g., below ~84k if long).
If price breaks convincingly out of the range with volume, adjust bias (for example, breakout long above ~89k).

Holding timeframe: A swing trade might hold across several hours to a few days, depending on momentum.
Summary & What to Watch

BTC on 1H is currently in a ranging mode rather than a strong trend.

Key levels: Support ~ US$84-85k, Resistance ~ US$88-89k.

Volume/momentum not yet showing a strong breakout – watch for confirmation.

Liquidity sweep potential: Look for dips under support or pushes over resistance followed by reclaim.

Strategy: For a swing trade, you could trade the range until a breakout occurs.

If you prefer trend trades, wait for breakout + volume first.

Always use position sizing and risk management (crypto is very volatile).$BTC
