Title: BTC/USD – Short-Term Liquidity Play Using CRT & Turtle So

304
Analysis & Trade Plan:
On the higher time frame, BTC remains in a broader bullish structure but recently formed a consolidation range after printing new highs. During the last impulsive leg, we saw a break of structure that created a short-term low, followed by another high. This sequence has left unprotected liquidity sitting below the market.

Above price, we recently swept a prior high, triggering my Turtle Soup (TBS) criteria — a false breakout designed to trap breakout traders before reversing. This aligns with my Central Reference Theory (CRT) expectation of price reverting to internal liquidity before resuming a larger move.

My plan is to capitalize on the short-term liquidity grab by entering short only after confirmation of a re-entry into the CRT zone. I will use Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) as precision entry and target zones.

Execution Steps:
1. Trigger: Liquidity sweep above the recent high (Turtle Soup confirmation).
2. Entry: After price closes back inside CRT reference levels and taps into the nearest FVG on the lower time frame.
3. Stop Loss: Just above the liquidity sweep high.
4. Target 1: Short-term low created after the last break of structure.
5. Target 2: Deeper liquidity pool in the 92k zone, overlapping with higher-timeframe demand and an unmitigated FVG.

Risk Management:
• Position size based on a 1–2% risk allocation.
• Partial profits at Target 1 to reduce risk exposure and secure gains.
• Let remaining position run toward Target 2 if price continues into the deeper liquidity pool.

Market Logic:
• The recent high sweep is a liquidity trap that often signals the start of a short-term reversal.
• Unprotected lows below are magnets for price, especially when aligned with imbalance zones.
• This setup combines liquidity theory, market structure, and imbalance fills for a high-probability short-term play within a larger bullish context.
