Bitcoin Bull Trap Early Warning, Bearish Logic Continues to Deliver Profits | Invited Analysis
Bitcoin Bull Trap Warning and Short Strategy Validation | Weekly Analysis
Last week's market analysis accurately warned of a bull trap, advising against buying into rallies and maintaining a bearish outlook. This prediction was validated as Bitcoin failed to break key resistance and subsequently declined.
**Performance Summary:**
- A short HYPE trade (1x leverage) yielded ~4.41% profit.
- A short BTC trade (1x leverage) yielded ~5.37% profit.
- The medium-term short position on BTC (entered at ~$89,000) remains open with ~23.75% unrealized profit.
**HYPE Analysis:**
The hourly chart suggests the downward correction from the March 19 high may be nearing its end. A key signal for a trend reversal will be a decisive break above the current consolidation range (Central C). While HYPE shows independent momentum, its trajectory remains tied to Bitcoin's overall market conditions. This week's strategy involves using 30% of capital for short-term "spread" trades within a defined range, adhering to strict stop-loss discipline.
**BTC Analysis:**
The broader market structure remains bearish. The rally from the February 6 low is interpreted as a C-2 wave rebound within a larger corrective pattern. A break below the ~$60,000 support would confirm the start of a C-3 downward wave, with targets extending lower. Key resistance levels are $69.5K-$71.5K and $74.5K-$76K. Key support levels are $65K-$66K, $60K-$62.5K, and ~$57.4K.
**Trading Strategy:**
- **Medium-term:** Hold the 60% short position from $89,000. Reduce or close the position only if BTC breaks and holds above $74,500.
- **Short-term:** Two scenarios are outlined:
1. **Sell into strength:** Short with 15% capital at the $69.5K-$71.5K resistance zone and another 15% at $74.5K-$76K if the price rallies.
2. **Breakout short:** Enter a 30% short position if the price breaks below the ascending channel support and fails to reclaim it.
**Risk Management:**
A strict trailing stop-loss protocol is emphasized: set an initial stop-loss upon entry, move it to breakeven at +1% profit, and then trail it upwards by 1% for every additional 1% gain to lock in profits and protect capital.
