Barb Wire

101
BTCUSD is potentially entering in a Barb Wire, meaning bulls and bears are in equilibrium and any breakout to either side has a good chance of being a false breakout.

I'm going to stay out of it for now.

If price breaks through the bear TL and make a strong reversal bar at the All Time High, it could potentially be a good short trade with high RR.

Look at how Barb Wires are harmful.

Price broke above the high of the BW, so the newbies went long. It failed, and made 2 strong bear candles, breaking the barb wire to the downside, so newbies reverted their position trying to recover losses. Then, there's a huge bull candle that broke to the upside.

It's virtually impossible to make money trading breakouts in a Barb Wire and we should stay out of it.
