Market Narrative
GT/USDT has staged a steady recovery from a 7.09 average entry, now sitting at 7.41 — a clean 4.5% gain. On the 1-hour chart, price briefly spiked to 7.46 on April 24 before pulling back and consolidating between the BOLL midline (~7.38) and upper band (~7.41). The band is compressing, suggesting a directional move is building.

On the 15-minute chart, the picture is more energetic: price broke decisively above the BOLL midline at 7.40 and is now pressing the upper band at 7.42. Volume expansion and a bullish BOLL posture (price above MB) support near-term continuation — but the upper band pinch across both timeframes is a warning that sellers may defend 7.42–7.46 aggressively.

MACD on both timeframes is essentially flat near zero, meaning no strong momentum confirmation yet. A clean MACD crossover to the upside would significantly improve the bull case.

Risk Management
Your current position is sitting on a solid +4.5% unrealised gain from the 7.09 average entry. Protect at least 50% of open profits by considering a partial take-profit between 7.41–7.43 if no breakout confirmation materialises within the next few candles.

Hard stop: a 1-hour close below 7.34 invalidates the bullish structure — this is your exit signal. Never let a +4.5% winner turn into a loss. Risk/Reward on a breakout play: ~1:2 (risk ~0.04, target +0.09). On the rejection side, trim early and re-enter on the dip to 7.34 if support holds.

✅
Execution Checklist
Before adding to position:
☐ 15-minute candle closes cleanly above 7.43
☐ MACD line crosses above signal line (both timeframes)
☐ Volume expands on breakout candle (not just a wick)

Before trimming / taking profit:
☐ Price forms a bearish rejection wick at 7.42–7.43
☐ 15-minute candle closes back below the upper Bollinger Band
☐ MACD histogram turns negative

Exit signal (stop out):
☐ 1-hour close below 7.34 — full position exit
