In this article, I’m sharing a simple 1‑hour AT/USDT short idea based on structure, liquidity and momentum. It is for education only, not financial advice.
1. Higher‑timeframe context (4H)
On the 4H chart, price recently tapped into a strong supply zone and failed to make a clean higher high. This turned the market from clearly bullish to more neutral, with buyers losing strength near the top. Because of this, the best opportunities are now around premium levels where sellers are active, not in the middle of the range.
2. 1H structure and BOS
Dropping to the 1H chart, price created a clear Break of Structure (BOS) to the upside and then re‑entered the previous range. Inside this area, candles started to get smaller and wicks showed rejection from the same supply zone multiple times. This is where smart money often distributes positions before pushing price lower.
3. Momentum shift and change of character
From the recent swing high, every new high became lower than the previous one. At the same time, the lows were being tested again and again. This is a classic momentum shift and potential change of character (ChoCh) – the market slowly turns from higher highs to lower highs, showing that buyers are getting weak and sellers are stepping in.
4. Liquidity and key levels
Below price, an ascending trendline has been respected many times. Many traders place their stop‑losses under that line, which creates trendline liquidity. Under the trendline, there is also a clean demand zone with old lows and a liquidity pool. This makes it a natural target area for a short setup.
For this idea, the key levels are:
Entry: 0.1730Stop‑loss: 0.1760 (above the 1H supply and invalidation of the idea)Take‑profit: 0.1640 (just above the demand zone and liquidity pool)
5. Risk management and R:R
This example uses a small position size to show that smart risk is more important than big leverage:
Position size: 150 USDTApproximate risk: around 8 USDT if SL is hitPotential reward: around 25 USDT if TP is reachedRisk‑to‑reward ratio: about 1:3
The idea is simple: accept a small, controlled loss if the supply zone fails, and aim for at least three times that amount if price sweeps the liquidity below.
6. Final notes
This setup combines BOS, momentum shift, trendline liquidity and a clear supply‑to‑demand move on the 1H chart. It is not a signal, but an example of how to build a structured plan with entry, stop‑loss and target, instead of random entries.
Always do your own research, stick to your risk rules, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
