Everyone thinks a triangle breakout on $BTC is instant bull fuel, but actually this case shows how fast a fakeout can trap late longs.
The pain is simple: you see price pop above the pattern, FOMO into $BTC, then the move reverses and your stop gets hunted. ngl, this is how a lot of traders lose money in “clean” setups that look too obvious.
On the 1H chart, BTC formed a triangle, pushed above it first, then failed. That upside move was the bait. After that, price broke below support, retested the breakdown level, and dumped from there.
The minimum target around 62.9K already got hit, and now price is moving toward the max target near 62.3K. That zone matters because it lines up with the upper boundary of the main HTF support area, so chasing shorts blindly here can be just as bad as FOMO longing the fake breakout.
For me, the alpha is not “triangle = breakout.” It’s watching the retest and where liquidity sits, especially when $BTC and majors like $ETH start reacting around key support. Anyone else treating 62.3K as the real decision zone from here?
