BIT Langlang · 2024-05-04 — Trading a BTC Range Break: Enter After the Failed Retest, Scale Out at Supports, Filter by Liquidity
Using BTC's break below a high-level range and a later false breakdown that was reclaimed, the speaker explains why a price break alone isn't an entry: wait for a failed bounce or a held retest, then take profits in stages at support and resistance. He also shows how altcoins failing to rally signal a cash-starved market and why thin order books make a position untradable. Useful for traders trying to make fewer mistakes in choppy markets.

- After a range breakdown, don't chase shorts mid-drop; enter when the bounce fails to make a new high and turns down again, with the stop at the bounce's turning point.
- When the higher timeframe is still bullish, lower expectations on a breakdown short: take half off at the first support and close the rest if the decline doesn't continue.
- For a false breakdown in a bigger uptrend, go long only after the reclaim, a second test that shows strength, and a retest that holds and turns up; target the overhead volume cluster.
- If BTC has bounced clearly but altcoins don't follow and even well-qualified candidates can't rally, the market lacks money—drop the leader thesis and rest.
- Estimate order-book impact and round-trip slippage before entering; skip thin coins that can't absorb your size, no matter how good the chart looks.
