Sideways chop is a meat grinder, with a huge divide between bulls and bears. Forcing trades within this range offers a terrible risk-reward ratio. My strategy is to stay flat and wait for the structure to confirm—no guessing the direction.

The current system signal for BTC is bullish, but I must strictly follow this iron rule: if the SL distance is less than 1.5×ATR1H, I must WAIT. The current support pool is $81,046, and the resistance wall is $84,354. I’ll only consider going long if the price breaks above $84,354 with confluence from all three factors: FVG, OB, and liquidation levels. Conversely, a break below $81,046 would be a signal to go short. ETH has no clear direction for now, so I won’t trade until either side is triggered.

BTC is more likely to break through the upper stop-loss wall first this week. The reasoning: the system’s bullish signal remains intact, and the $84,354 resistance level is a zone with a dense concentration of institutional stop-losses. If the price breaks through on strong volume, short stop-loss orders could fuel an accelerated move higher. If it fails to break through, it will most likely continue ranging between $81,046 and $84,354 until a clear structural break occurs.
