BTC is in that annoying phase again
Not trending cleanly, not crashing either
just moving enough to drain energy and mistakes
On the lower timeframes, it looks tradable. You see setups, little pullbacks, nice reactions.
On the higher timeframes, though, nothing is actually decided yet
That’s usually where trouble starts
On the 1H price is stuck in a clear range. EMAs are flat here no real momentum
On the 4H every bounce into moving averages gets sold so That is weakness
On the Daily real support is much lower around 88 – 90k
You take a short near the top of the range price nudges up, funding hurts, confidence drops
You take a long near the bottom
quick dip, stops get tested, nerves kick in
Both ideas can be right and still feel awful to sit through
The lower zone is a good support area, no doubt
But if BTC wants to go there, it probably wont be fast or clean. It will chop, fake and stretch time so long that you start questioning your own plan
That is the real risk right now not direction, but patience and capital
This is one of those moments where
smaller size helps
taking partial profits makes sense
holding positions hoping usually backfires
Nothing wrong with trading it.
Just don’t force it and don’t expect BTC to be kind
Sometimes the best trade is simply not getting hurt
Happy to hear your thoughts
