I’ve watched $BTC try to break out and then tumble back through a single candle. When that happens faster than I expect, the trade flips from profit to loss in seconds.
That’s why I always mark an invalidation level before I enter. For a bullish breakout I set the stop just below the most recent swing low—around 82,900 on $BTC—and I also watch the next minor swing at 82,650.
If price closes under either point, the breakout’s momentum is gone and I get out. Look, keeping capital safe feels better than chasing a losing move.
Where do you place your own invalidation levels when the market turns on you?
