BTC/USD (4H): Classic FRL short setup unfolding

153
Trading = capital management under uncertainty.

Bitcoin is trading inside a clear descending channel on H4.
Price recently tested the upper boundary of this channel while forming a bearish divergence on MACD. This divergence hints at a weakening upward phase, signaling a possible phase shift according to Fractal Reversal Law (FRL).

Why is this a classic FRL setup?

✅ Phase Identification:
The prior local upward phase within the descending channel is weakening.

✅ Reversal Pattern:
A double top / wedge has formed at the upper boundary with a bearish divergence.
✅ Neckline:
The neckline aligns with the MA100 cluster on H4, now acting as a horizontal rubicon.
✅ Confirmation:
We wait for a full candle close below the neckline on H4 to confirm the phase shift.
✅ Targets:
– TP1: Mid-channel grey zone.
– TP2: Lower boundary of the channel.
✅ Stop:
Above the recent highs or channel top, depending on your risk management.

Plan:

Wait for H4 close below neckline → enter short.
Use the channel structure for target planning.
Manage risk with a tight, structure-based stop.

This is a clean FRL textbook scenario:
Phase → Pattern → Neckline → Confirmation → Target.

It aligns with the larger market structure, using the combination of price action, divergence, and structure clarity to guide your trade decisions.
