Here is my reason for advocating a momentary closing of short positions on BTC/USD.

I am a very experienced trader. The mistake young traders make is that they miss the minor details in trading that would have made significant differences if they had paid attention. The chart I shared is the daily TF for BTC/USDT. I have analyzed this chart for years now. One thing is certain: BTC will always respect a minor zone to sweep liquidity.

The zone with the red arrows shows previous stops or minor resistances when the chart formed a bullish flag. When it broke that flag upwards, it retested that zone as support 3 more times before breaking down to 38300. Now, It touched there, and yesterday's daily candle turned bullish. Normally, one will close their trades there as that momentum may take the price back to the 40-42k region before any further fall.

The worst-case scenario here is that BTC is easily manipulated and can shoot a liquidating reversal candle anytime from this area or even consolidate. Consequently, one should close their positions and be satisfied with the profits from the shorts so far.
