BTC is showing initial signs of weakness. After a rapid surge earlier, it has been consolidating sideways for 5 consecutive days. On smaller timeframes, there was a fake breakout with parallel highs, followed by a pullback! Historically, the market often exhibits a pattern of a second push to break previous highs before falling back. If this pattern plays out, shorting offers a higher risk-reward ratio. On the daily chart, TD has signaled a 9 reversal point. Funding rates remain elevated, CVD is increasing, and the market is heavily leaning towards long positions, making it prone to a potential trend reversal. Two opportunities to observe for short entries: Right-side confirmation: Price fails to make new highs, breaks below the previous low and trendline (123 rule). Failure signal: A rebound with heavy volume forms a long upper wick, followed by a quick fake breakout and weakness. A high-volume bearish candle breaks key levels or even triggers a gap-down plunge → confirms the reversal, making it suitable for short positions.
