🚀 $COTI at $0.0186. That 6.53% surge might look like a green light, but 85% of retail traders will get trapped by jumping in right now without looking at the bigger picture. I lost $5,400 in my first year trying to chase these candles, and I’m telling you: a breakout without confluence is just a donation to the market makers.

SETUP TYPE: Momentum Breakout.

ENTRY ZONE: I am looking for an entry between $0.0178 and $0.0182. This range aligns with the retest of the previous local resistance flipped into support. If we don’t hold this level, the liquidity grab is likely to fail. We cannot talk about $COTI without acknowledging that $BTC price action remains the ultimate tether; if $BTC suddenly sweeps its own liquidity below $56k, this setup is dead in the water.

STOP LOSS: My hard stop is set at $0.0169. This sits just below the recent accumulation wick. If price closes beneath this, the bullish momentum is invalidated and we are likely heading back down to test the range floor.

TARGETS: Target 1 is set at $0.0205, capturing the initial liquidity push toward the previous high of $0.0221. Target 2 is $0.0220 for a full exit. I usually scale out 50% at T1 to protect the position.

RISK/REWARD: Based on an entry at $0.0180 and a stop at $0.0169, my risk per share is 0.0011. With a Target 1 of $0.0205, the R:R ratio sits at 1:2.27, which fits my plan perfectly.

POSITION SIZE WARNING: Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on this trade. I’ve learned the hard way that one bad ego-bet on a volatile altcoin can ruin months of discipline. If you are over-leveraged, you aren't trading; you’re gambling.

INVALIDATION: A four-hour candle close below $0.0165 confirms a failed breakout. Furthermore,...
