Trading logic
Thesis
- Price has broken the key $2,500 support and is retesting lower levels.
- 4h MACD shows increasing bearish divergence with negative histogram expansion.
- Confluence of 4h bearish structure and 1h momentum loss supports the downside.
Invalidation
- A sustained 4h candle close above $2,360 voids the bearish thesis.
