Wanted to briefly cover instances when I see traders get trapped within different variations as price consolidates and breaks down and how to potentially avoid.
This is how Alts have played out the last few weeks to my perspective and currently.
1. Initial drive up (get people bullish) 2. Sell off into HTF Demand (Sentiment flips bearish) 3. Price gets back above with trapped funds in lock.
Examples attached. 2/4
When you see price move up early in the week and sentiment favoring a certain side its good to zoom out and mark out your untested HTF Demands as we might be engineering liquidity.

Range strategy
Quick write up on a commonly used setup I tend to look for when price ranges.
Criteria is as such:
- Range Forms
- Price sweep/deviation of range point
- MSB (Market structure break)
- Test of formed SD
- TP
Enjoy!
Range forms
Price outlines two swing points in the market.
Price sweep/deviation
Following the identified swing points- price proceeds to sweep/deviate before closing back inside range
Price trends down with local sweeps at each stop. In blue we form a set of equal highs without a local sweep. (MSB below was a formed breaker)
Price comes back to equal highs and engineers liquidity/price sweep prior to breaking down

Stop Loss vs Hard Stops
Wanted to go over a key topic I find important and that’s knowing when to cut your loses early on a systematic approach
Hard stops are in place to limit your loses and resolute around key levels
1.Long Example
2.Short Example
3.Conclusion 1. Long Example
When looking for longs it’s crucial to find formed demand levels/breakers above your key levels. Stop loss placements are around previous formed swing points.
Closes below key levels are signs of weakness and make for a manual exit.

Current thoughts.
Dips are for buying.
Sentiment gets very bearish when price attempts to print a higher low rather than wait for price distribution to play out.
Looking for longs on pullbacks but willing to short scalps.
