🛑 $ASTER +0.5% but that BTC divergence is a sell-the-rip tape 🧵👇
- my bias is bearish here on the 1h — structure still prints lower highs/lower lows and price sits under the 0.7020 liquidity edge, so I treat this as a sell-the-rip tape until that level is taken out on a close
- the 4h coin/BTC higher-low vs a USDT lower-low is real relative strength and lines up with a bullish daily, but it does not override the 1h Dow read; this is a counter-trend bounce inside a still-bearish 1h and weekly map, so I demand a failed reclaim of 0.6988–0.7020 before I lean short
- I expect a probe of 0.6917 / 0.6832 first, then 0.6792 and the 0.6758–0.6708 demand if that holds; crowded top-trader longs and quiet volume make a squeeze-down through those lows more plausible than a clean breakout
- entry zone: 0.6985–0.7020 after a sweep of the last swing high — wait for a rejection wick, bearish engulfing, or a 5m/15m market-structure shift lower before committing; skip it if price simply walks through 0.7020 on expanding volume
- take-profits in order: 0.6917, then 0.6832, then 0.6792 / 0.6758, stretch 0.6708
- place protection beyond the structure flip / that 0.7020 swing, not inside the range
- invalidation: a 1h close above 0.7020 flips my bias bullish 📉
