๐จ $NEAR SWEPT THE HIGHSโฆ NOW THE TRAP MAY BE SET ๐
NEAR pushed above the previous $4.814 high, tagged $4.840โand then slammed back inside the range. Breakout buyers may have just walked straight into a trap.
The latest confirmed H1 candle closed at $4.497, while price has since formed lower highs and lower lows. But thereโs one level standing between the bears and confirmation:
๐ด $4.428
Three clues are catching my attention:
1๏ธโฃ Liquidity sweep: $4.840 was taken, then rejected.
2๏ธโฃ Structure shift: Lower highs + lower lows have appeared since the sweep.
3๏ธโฃ Weak bounce: The latest move to $4.497 came with only 0.35ร the previous 20-hour average volume.
Wyckoff-wise, $4.840 could become a local UTAD candidate, but distribution isnโt confirmed yet.
SMC confirmation is simple: I want an H1 close below $4.428, followed by a failed retest.
๐ด CONDITIONAL SHORT
Trigger: H1 close below $4.428
Entry: $4.430โ$4.490 after failed retest
SL: $4.535
TP1: $4.320 โ 1.9R
TP2: $4.210 โ 3.3R
โ Invalidation: H1 close above $4.535.
STATUS: BEARISH BIAS โ NO ENTRY YET.
The dangerous move here may be shorting too early. If $4.428 keeps holding, sellers havenโt taken control yet.
๐ So what comes first: $4.428 breaksโor late shorts get squeezed above $4.535?
