My $ZEC SHORT Idea: 1,379.12 Entry, 1,414.57 Stop, 4 Targets 🔴

TL;DR: short idea from 1,379.12, stop 1,414.57 (+2.6%), first target 1,247.56 (3.7R).
🧪 Research verdict: AVOID LONGS - BTC 4h downtrend (2y test: such longs -0.3R)

✅ What supports it
1️⃣ Volatility is coiling
2️⃣ Open interest +12% in 24h
3️⃣ Realized volatility lowest in months
⚠️ Risk to the idea: top traders more bullish than the crowd

🎯 The plan
⚡ Entry: 1,379.12 (limit, on a retest)
⛔ Stop-loss: 1,414.57 (+2.6%)
🎯 TP1: 1,247.56 (-9.5% · 3.7R) · ~12% touch in 1d
🎯 TP2: 1,220.97 (-11.5% · 4.5R) · ~5% touch in 1d
🎯 TP3: 1,194.38 (-13.4% · 5.2R) · ~2% touch in 1d
🎯 TP4: 1,167.79 (-15.3% · 6.0R) · ~1% touch in 1d
📐 Odds TP1 hits before the stop with no edge: 20%. That's why R:R must be ≥ 1.5.

🛠️ How I'd manage it
1) Limit order at entry, no chasing candles.
2) Stop goes in right after the fill and never gets widened.
3) Small partial at TP1, then trail the stop for TP2-TP4 (in our 2-year test, booking everything early cut the edge to ~0).
4) Risk ≤1% of capital, max 9x isolated.
❌ Invalid: daily close above 1,414.57
Key levels: support 1,247.56 / 1,220.00 · resistance 1,387.98 / 1,423.43
📏 7-day range (68%): 1,179.15 – 1,555.48. This band held on 73% of days last year.
