BTC - Short Setup | 15.09
Updated
I’m shorting a very interesting setup here on the BTCUSDT 4H chart. We have an untapped 2H and 4H Order Block (OB) sitting above the current price, coupled with an untapped VWAP, both of which are significant points of interest for me. These untapped areas often act as strong magnets for price, drawing it towards them before a potential reversal.
Given the current market structure, this setup presents a high-probability short opportunity. The price has been showing signs of exhaustion as it approached these levels, and the confluence of the Order Blocks and VWAP makes it a very appealing zone to initiate a short position.
What adds to the strength of this setup is the clear Break of Structure (BOS) visible in the previous price action. The market has been creating lower highs and lower lows, indicating a downtrend, and the current move up might just be a retracement to mitigate the OB before continuing the trend downward.
I’m entering this trade with a tight stop loss, as the OBs and VWAP should ideally cap the upward movement. The stop loss is placed just above the OB, ensuring that the risk is minimal in case the price unexpectedly breaches these levels.
As for the final target, I haven’t set a specific level yet. I’ll be closely monitoring how the price reacts after entering the OB and the VWAP. If the price rejects sharply, I’ll consider holding the position longer, potentially trailing the stop to lock in profits as the trade progresses. However, if the reaction is weak or if I see signs of reversal, I might close the trade early.
The goal here is to capitalize on the anticipated price reaction from these high-probability zones while keeping the risk contained with a tight stop. This is a classic example of a mean reversion trade, where the price could revert back to the mean after tapping into these untapped areas.
