**Trade Setup**

**1. Direction:**
- **Uptrend** on the higher timeframe (1D chart) and the 15-minute chart confirms the bullish movement with a series of higher highs and higher lows.

**2. Entry Price:**
- **Buy Limit Order:** Place a buy limit order at **$2,468.00**. This level is close to a minor support level on the 15-minute chart, where a potential pullback could occur, providing a better entry at a lower risk.

**3. Stop Loss:**
- **Stop Loss:** Set your stop loss at **$2,460.00**. This is below the recent low on the 15-minute chart and is far enough to account for market noise but close enough to limit your risk.


**4. Target Price:**

- **Take Profit:** Set your take profit at **$2,490.00**. This level aligns with the next significant resistance level and is above a key Fibonacci extension level on the 15-minute chart, providing a solid reward-to-risk ratio.

**5. Trailing Stop:**

- Once the price reaches **$2,480.00**, move your stop loss to **$2,468.00** to lock in some profit while still allowing room for the trade to reach its target.

### **Trade Rationale:**

- The 1D chart shows a strong bullish momentum with the price breaking above recent highs, indicating potential for further upside.
- The 15-minute chart also shows a breakout and retest scenario, suggesting a continuation of the uptrend.
- This setup offers a favorable reward-to-risk ratio of approximately 2.75:1.
