### Quick chart analysis (CRCLUSDT Perpetual – 5m)
- Current price: ~**58.49 USDT** (mark price 58.48, last 58.51).
- Change: 0.00% in the visible timeframe, but with a strong green candle at the end (vertical bounce from lows ~55.50–56.00 to ~58.50).
- Pattern: Strong initial drop (deep red candles), then low consolidation and explosive bullish impulse in the last candle (likely support rejection + buying volume).
- Red dotted line ~**58.49** → current key zone (support turned into consolidation or possible breakout level).
- Real context (February 2026):
- Spot stock CRCL (Circle Internet Group, issuer of USDC) trades at ~**56–58 USD** on NYSE, with high volatility post-IPO/listing (historical range 49–298, but now stabilizing in the 50–60 zone).
- Today shows bullish strength (+3–13% in recent sessions according to sources), driven by stablecoin adoption, partnerships, and crypto momentum.
- Perpetual CRCLUSDT closely follows the stock, with some premium.
Current bias: Bullish in the short term in scalping (the vertical bounce on 5m screams bullish continuation or at least retest of highs ~59–59.50).
### Winning Entry Setup (Scalping – 5m timeframe)
Direction: Long – capturing the momentum of the visible bounce.
Ideal entry (the cleanest and winning):
- 58.60 – 58.90 → Expect a slight pullback to the current zone (~58.49) or just above for better R:R.
- If it has already risen more, enter on confirmation of bullish candle (green continuation + volume).
- Aggressive: Market at ~58.50 if the candle closes strong above 58.49.
Stop Loss (tight for scalping – don’t move it):
- 57.80 – 58.00 (below the low of the bounce candle or zone ~58).
- Risk: ~0.8–1.2 USDT (1.5–2% approx.).
Take Profits (quick and partial – key in scalping):
- TP1: 59.20 – 59.50 → Close 50–70% (previous resistance zone +1–1.8%).
- TP2: 60.00 → Close the rest or trailing (if strong momentum).
- Move SL to breakeven as soon as it reaches +0.8–1% (protects everything).
Approximate Risk-Reward: 1:2 to 1:3 (excellent for quick scalp).
### Responsible leverage + Isolated Margin
- Leverage: 5x – 8x maximum (ideal 6x). CRCL is volatile (stablecoin issuer + crypto exposure), 10x+ is risky in wicks.
- Isolated Mode: Mandatory, limits risk to this position.
- Risk per trade: 0.3–0.7% of your total capital (scalping accumulates trades).
Example (account 5,000 USDT):
- Risk 0.5% = 25 USDT.
- SL ~1 USDT distance → nominal position ~150–200 USDT with 6x.
- Profit on TP1 (+1.2%) → ~100–150 USDT gross (before fees/funding).
### Strict risk management
- Confirmation: Bullish 5m candle + increasing volume.
- Maximum time: 5–15 minutes per trade → out if it doesn't move.
- Funding: Check if positive (expensive for longs) → reduce size.
- Monitor real CRCL stock and USDC news/BTC: if BTC rises, long gains strength.
- Daily stop: -1.5% account or +2.5–3% → close session.
Summary – Winning entry:
Long at 58.60–58.90 with 6x Isolated, SL 57.80–58.00, quick TP 59.20–60. Explosive setup based on the vertical bounce of your 5m chart. High probability if it maintains above 58.49!
