Current Observations:
- The **1D chart** shows a rejection at the upper resistance level around **$2,512**, with a significant drop to around **$2,484**.
- The **1H chart** indicates a break of structure and a potential shift in momentum to the downside with a current pullback, forming a new resistance area.

Trade Idea:
**Entry**:
- Place a **sell limit order** around **$2,495**. This is based on the pullback to the previous support turned resistance on the **1H chart**.
- This entry level also aligns with a minor Fibonacci retracement level, giving it additional confluence.

**Stop Loss**:
- Set the stop loss at **$2,508**, just above the recent highs to give some room in case of minor fluctuations.

**Take Profit**:
- The target can be set at **$2,470**. This is a level of high liquidity and a potential area for a retracement based on previous price action on the **1D chart**.

**Reward-Risk Ratio**:
- The calculated reward-risk ratio for this trade setup is approximately **2:1**.
- **Risk**: $13 (Stop Loss: $2,508 - Entry: $2,495)
- **Reward**: $25 (Entry: $2,495 - Take Profit: $2,470)

Trailing Stop:
- As the price moves in your favor, you can adjust the stop loss to just above each new lower high formed on the **1H chart**. This would help lock in profits if the trend continues downwards.

Trade Probability:
- Given the confluence of resistance levels and potential reversal signs on both the **1H** and **1D** charts, there’s a reasonable probability that the price might move in favor of this trade, especially if the broader trend turns bearish.
