Context
Sunday review of BTC scenarios surfaced a very attractive 2H Order Block. What made it stand out was the location - a Range POC sitting in the same area as the 2H OB. That combination is always a strong zone to watch for potential reversals. Plan was simple: wait for price to tap the zone and look for order flow confirmation. Alert set on the level before the week even started.

Setup
Price reacted cleanly into the 2H Order Block. At the highs, a nice amount of liquidations came in with shorts getting stopped out into the resistance zone. The key confirmation came after the initial rejection. Rather than continuing lower immediately, price made a small retrace where new longs aggressively entered expecting continuation higher. Those late longs became additional fuel for the downside move - exactly the kind of positioning we were looking for.

Entry
Short entered from the 2H Order Block as aggressive long positioning continued to build into resistance. Held the position as the fuel stacked up.

Exit / Management
Price rejected cleanly for around a 2% move from entry. TP1 and TP2 both secured. Original objective was to take profits below 62.2k but price reversed before the final target. Remaining position stopped out in profit - a successful trade regardless of not hitting the full target.

Context
After a trending move on Bitcoin and a finished impulse, the 786 retracement was the natural area to watch, it was lining up with a nPOC sitting just above. When price came into the 786 bear divs were showing but the nPOC overhead was still untouched. The strength of the earlier push made shorting dangerous - the nPOC above could easily absorb any short aggression. The call was made publicly to be more careful with shorts and wait for the nPOC instead.

Setup
Price came into the nPOC. The wick was missed on the first touch but rather than chasing, the plan shifted to waiting for the anchored VWAP backtest. That backtest came in clean and gave the entry at a more controlled spot. Slow and steady!

Entry
Short taken on the anchored VWAP backtest after the nPOC was tagged, missing the wick but getting a cleaner risk setup in the process.

Exit / Management
Initial 1% move from the AVWAP backtest confirmed and TP1 locked in after 1%, TP2 taken after a 2.5% move. Bitcoin eventually run for more then 4%.

Context
During the session a large ask-side limit cluster was highlighted as one of the best areas to look for a short. The ideal scenario was clean and simple: sweep the previous high, tap the ask-side liquidity, then look for order flow confirmation after the new Daily Open. The level was shared in advance and the alert was already set. All that was needed was for price to arrive and the flow to confirm.

Setup
The liquidity grab into the ask cluster created exactly the setup being waited for. As price swept the previous high and traded into the ask-side limit cluster, large liquidations hit, Open Interest dropped significantly, shorts were being stopped out into the highs and some longs were taking profits. Textbook reaction at a major resistance level with trapped shorts, profit taking longs and heavy ask-side liquidity all at the same spot.

Entry
Short entered after the liquidity sweep into the ask-side cluster as the full combination of signals confirmed.

Exit / Management
Price rejected strongly from the resistance zone for around a 4% move from entry. Profits taken below the previous inner lows with the full position closed below 52.5k. Price continued slightly lower afterward but the planned targets were hit and the trade was executed exactly according to plan.

Context
Over the weekend metals started trending upwards while traditional markets were closed. That gap between crypto/metals pricing and traditional market close levels was the opportunity. On market open the previously held long TPs were hit and the focus shifted to a short to close the gap on traditional markets. The broader bias had been bullish on metals for weeks - this was a tactical short within a larger uptrend, not a reversal trade.

Setup
Once traditional markets opened, metals started trending down over the next few hours exactly as anticipated. The gap fill play was clean and the direction was clear from the open. Silver in particular was worth watching closely given the long entry level from the week before sitting below as a key reference.

Entry
Short taken on metals at market open to target the traditional market gap fill. Longs remained the primary bias throughout.

Exit / Management
First TPs taken after a 2.6% drop on the gap fill. Silver then ran all the way back to the long entry level from the previous week at which point the uptrend continuation was the play again, exactly as discussed. Bullish on metals for weeks, short was a gap trade within that broader thesis.
