Halloween is bringing something scarier than red candles: the temptation to trade without a plan.
Bitcoin $BTC recently dropped toward $76,300 before buyers pushed it back above $77,000. That recovery is encouraging, but the broader daily trend remains weak.
My weekend bias is cautiously bearish until BTC proves it can reclaim major resistance.
The lesson?
A bounce is not automatically a reversal.
🔍 Technical Analysis: Key BTC Levels
- immediate support: $76,300–$76,500
- First resistance: $77,800–$78,150
- Major resistance: $79,000–$79,150
- Bullish recovery objective: $80,000
- Deeper bearish objective: $74,450
🐻 Scenario 1: Conditional SHORT Setup
If Bitcoin rebounds into resistance and forms a confirmed bearish rejection:
- Entry zone: $78,000–$78,150
- Stop loss: $79,150
- TP1: $77,400
- TP2: $76,500
- TP3: $75,900
- TP4: $74,450
These are proposed planning levels, not a live trading signal. If price never reaches the entry zone or rejection fails to appear, I skip the trade.
🐂 Scenario 2: Bitcoin Recovers
If BTC breaks above $79,150 and holds that area as support, the bearish setup becomes invalid.
Buyers could then challenge $80,000. I would wait for a confirmed breakout and retest rather than immediately chasing the move.
🧠 My 3 Weekend Trading Rules
1. Protect capital with the 1% rule.
On a $100 account, my planned maximum loss is $1 per trade. I calculate position size from the entry-to-stop distance, remembering that fees and slippage can increase actual losses.
2. Don't confuse a bounce with a breakout.
One green candle cannot confirm a trend reversal. I look for market structure, volume, and a successful retest.
3. Never revenge trade during weekend volatility.
If my setup fails, I accept the loss and review my plan. I don't increase leverage just to recover money quickly.
💰 My Personal Trading Rule
Before every trade, I ask:
Is this a confirmed opportunity, or am I simply afraid of missing out?
If the answer is FOMO, I stay out.
Protecting my account is more important than catching every Bitcoin move.
