trade ideas
trade: short BTC/ USD
BTC fell below the range (~29500-31600) low and is now testing it as resistance. first test re-entered but 4hr candle was unable to close back in range. this could just be a short squeeze prior to further downward expansion. in which case, first support target would be $28.3k level (previous resistance). if price is able to successfully return to the range and hold then look to cut the SHORT trade as probability is now to the upside.
