#BTC Short positions, the first take-profit level is right here.

An hour ago we signaled the entry, and the market quickly moved to validate it—this move was executed beautifully.

At the top of the range, a large amount of fragile liquidity has been stacked. Many chasing long positions and market makers have set up a bull-trap right here.

If you look purely at the order flow, it’s actually hard to tell. On the spot side for now, there hasn’t been a brutal sell-off or a market-making pattern that’s obvious at a glance. But once you truly understand the underlying logic, you’ll see that this is the core of the trap. Compared to the surface appearance on the chart, I care more about the fund logic behind the price movement.

As the bull-trap plays out, many longs post that they’re bullish toward 87k, betting on an upside breakout. If you follow the logic of the capital, you can see that this fits the overall market sentiment right now, and it can also be matched to what’s happening in the order flow.

A large number of retail traders blindly chase higher, betting on a breakout to eat the liquidity above. And that—precisely—that’s the best opportunity for us to short. From an institutional perspective, they want to harvest this portion of capital at this level.

Remember, we’re currently at the high point of the range. The chart is especially sensitive to downside moves, and the move lower is gradually being realized.

The phase where price faced initial pressure and pulled back has already appeared.

My main focus is on high-leverage liquidations—that’s always the first signal to show up.

And the peak of the liquidation wave is usually the point where I reduce risk on my position.

We’ve reached that spot now. This trade has already netted 800 points in profit.

I’m going to close out 40% of the position first to take profits.
