Here's what happened when $BTC flashed a clean 1H triangle yesterday, tempted breakout buyers, then flipped the whole setup on its head.
A lot of traders get caught here because triangles look simple until the first move is a fakeout. You buy the upside break, price slips back inside, and suddenly the “entry” becomes someone else’s exit liquidity.
The case study is pretty textbook: $BTC first pushed above the triangle, making it look like momentum was ready to continue. But instead of holding, price broke back down through support, retested that breakdown level, and then dumped from there.
The first downside target around 62.9K has already been hit, and now price is moving toward the bigger target near 62.3K. That level matters because it lines up with the upper edge of the main higher-timeframe support zone, which is where bigger buyers often decide whether to defend or step aside.
We’ve seen similar traps before on $ETH and $BNB during compressed ranges: fake breakout, failed retest, then a move into higher-timeframe liquidity. The lesson isn’t “triangles don’t work,” it’s that the retest often tells the real story, not the first breakout.
Do you think 62.3K holds as support, or is $BTC setting up for a deeper sweep?
