In the 15-minute trend, the one-sided decline has ended, entering a consolidation phase, with the Bollinger Bands tightening, and a temporary balance between long and short positions.
- Downward trend confirmed: The previous price declined along the lower Bollinger Band with increased volume, and the moving averages are in a bearish arrangement, which is a standard one-sided downward trend.
- Consolidation phase initiated: After hitting the bottom, the price rebounds and returns to near the middle Bollinger Band, with fluctuations narrowing, and the highs and lows gradually converging, typical of a consolidation/bottoming phase after a decline.
- Volume and strength: The downward momentum is weakening, and the rebound lacks volume, indicating that there is temporarily no new trending force, with longs and shorts battling within the current range.
Operational thoughts
- No chasing shorts, no bottom fishing: In a volatile market, it is most undesirable to get slapped on both sides; wait for a breakout before following.
- Focus on shorts: If the price rebounds to the middle/upper band and encounters resistance, consider shorting, with a stop loss at the upper range.
- Support longs: If the price stabilizes after falling to a previous low and a reversal candlestick appears, consider a light long position, with a stop loss below the previous low.
