$BTC Short Trade – Resistance Rejection + Breakdown (5M)
This trade is a perfect example of how price tricks buyers first and then drops hard.
Market Context
Market pushed up and looked strong…
But actually it was just a pullback into resistance.
Smart money waits there — not in the middle.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
📍 1. Pullback Into Resistance
Price came back into a previous supply / resistance zone (marked area).
This zone was where sellers were already waiting.
📍 2. Weak Bullish Push
Notice how candles near resistance got smaller.
Momentum slowed down → buyers losing power.
That’s a warning sign.
📍 3. Entry
Short position taken from resistance zone.
We sell where risk is small and logic is clear.
📍 4. Stop Loss
SL above the resistance zone.
If price breaks above → sellers wrong → exit.
📍 5. Breakdown Move
After rejection, price didn’t just fall —
it collapsed with momentum.
Big red candles =
💥 Buyers trapped
💥 Stops getting hit
💥 Sellers in control
Why This Trade Worked
✔ Clear resistance zone
✔ Pullback entry (not chasing)
✔ Momentum shift
✔ Clean breakdown
✔ Good risk–reward
We don’t sell randomly.
We sell where other traders are trapped.
Lesson
Most traders buy pullbacks blindly.
Pros wait for pullback into resistance → then short.
Patience at key levels = easy trades.
