Current Analysis:
1D Chart: The price is approaching a previous resistance level around 2,470-2,475, which also aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.
15-Minute Chart: The price has shown a bearish break of structure (BOS) around the 2,465 level after a rally, indicating potential exhaustion and a possible pullback or reversal.

Major Trend:
On the daily timeframe, the trend is upward, as the price has been making higher highs and higher lows. However, the proximity to a key resistance level suggests caution as a retracement could occur.

Order Type:

Sell Limit Order (considering the potential for a pullback from the resistance).
Place a Sell Limit Order at 2,470 (just below the key resistance and the 0.618 Fibonacci level).

Stop Loss:

Place the stop loss slightly above the recent high at 2,480.
This level is chosen to give the trade room to play out while protecting against a breakout to new highs.

Take Profit:

Set your take profit target at 2,450. This level is above the next support level and offers a favorable risk-reward ratio of 2:1.

Risk Management:

If the trade goes in your favor and breaks below 2,465, consider moving the stop loss to breakeven to lock in profits and reduce risk.

Trailing Stop:
Once the price reaches 2,460, move your stop loss to 2,465 to lock in profits.
Continue trailing the stop by 5 points for every 10-point movement in your favor.

Rationale:
The setup aligns with the expectation of a potential retracement from the resistance level on the daily chart.
