Category: Trading Journal | Forex & Crypto | Candle & Crown Co.

Live Trade Execution: BTC/USD 4H Short
Date: June 24, 2025
Pair: BTC/USD
Timeframe: 4-Hour
Trade Type: Short (Sell)

🔍 Technical Breakdown

The market setup for this trade was incredibly clear, lining up with multiple elements of my trading strategy. Here's what I saw:

  1. Descending Trendline: The price came back to retest a well-respected descending trendline. It had previously rejected this level and was forming a clear lower high setup.

  2. Horizontal Resistance: There was strong horizontal resistance around the $103,727 zone. Price struggled at this level before and showed hesitation again.

  3. EMA Ribbon Rejection: On the 4H timeframe, the EMA ribbon acted as dynamic resistance. The candle failed to close above it, indicating continuation to the downside.

  4. Market Structure: The market had already broken a previous low, creating a Lower Low (LL). This trade was an attempt to catch the retest and drop for a potential Lower High (LH) confirmation.

🔹 Reason for Entry

After patiently watching price action, I entered this trade when I noticed a strong bearish rejection candle at both the descending trendline and resistance zone. Everything aligned perfectly — structure, EMA, trendline, and a textbook rejection.

"I took this short trade just now (June 24, 2025) after seeing a strong bearish candle reject my descending trendline. That candle gave me clear confidence — it lined up perfectly with structure, resistance, and EMA rejection. It felt like the market was telling me, 'Here’s your moment.'"
