$BTC 1h TA update - 2026-10-20 (UTC)
Verdict: WAIT. Price 81,808 sits mid-box (39% up from the low). No sweep, no reclaim, no MSB on the last 5 closed bars - nothing to fade yet.
The box (last 20 closed 1h bars):
HIGH 82,757.30 (2 touches)
MID 81,978.70 (11 mid visits - magnet)
LOW 81,200.00 (1 touch - thin, unproven)
The plan (long fade of the low edge, trigger only):
Entry 81,250 (retest after sweep + reclaim of 81,200)
Stop 81,160 (below the low + buffer, ATR14 = 324.8)
TP1 81,979 (mid, ~8.1R)
TP2 82,757 (box high, ~16.7R)
Invalidation: an hourly close below 81,160 kills the fade. Shorts only get interesting on a high-edge sweep that fails back under 82,757.
Paper only, testnet only. Not financial advice.
