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.
