$BTC │ Swing short update. I’m still positioned the same. As mentioned in my previous update, I closed the add at BE to improve my average from 74.6K to 76K. That proved to be a solid decision, as price reacted immediately after tapping my average entry. With it now being the start of May, I’ve already outlined the likelihood of a sweep above the PMO (previous monthly high). This remains the zone where I plan to scale further into the position to continue improving my overall swing entry. Some may ask why I don’t simply wait for clear structure or an ideal point of interest before entering. The reasoning is straightforward, I prefer to build into positions early to avoid being front-run. As a HTF trader, I take a limited number of swing trades, and waiting for perfect entries can often take weeks or even months. I’d rather secure exposure slightly early on a high-conviction idea than risk missing the move entirely. Since my average has improved following the 78K add (as previously noted), I’m now adjusting my soft stop-loss (SSL) from 83K to 84K. I’ll manually close the position if I believe the short thesis has been fully invalidated. This approach is consistent across my HTF positions, scaling in strategically to improve entry while progressively adjusting invalidation levels as the trade develops. So far, all 6 out of 6 swing shorts have played out successfully and delivered great returns. While it’s inevitable that I’ll eventually be wrong, maintaining conviction and discipline is essential. I’m continuing to follow the same system that has allowed me to capture each meaningful swing short to date. Emotionless. 🤟The swing short update.. $BTC There’s not much change for now, price is still ranging and moving sideways. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I’m running a hedge long targeting the gap fill around 79K. At the same time, I’m watching for a bearish retest (lower high) to form before a potential move down into the 70s. The invalidation for the hedge long sits just below 74K. This is mainly in place to protect the short position in case price pushes up to fill the gap. If the hedge long gets stopped out, I’ll simply continue holding the short in line with the overall plan. Market conditions have been quite choppy lately, so it’s best to stay patient, pick a side with conviction and wait for price to reveal its direction. I am simply following the macro downtrend.View original on X ↗
