My Bitcoin Intraday Swing Trading Plan

1. Market Summary and Technical Analysis

Currently, BTC price is quoted at $81,039, with a slight 0.18% pullback over 24 hours, indicating a short-term sideways trend. The 7-day increase is about 1.28%, and the 30-day gain is approximately 9.3%, with a mid-term upward trend still in place. The highest point in the past 24 hours reached $81,308, and the lowest retested $79,848, with an intraday range of about $1,460. Volatility is moderate, providing room for swing trading.

Technical signals show a "daily bullish + 4-hour correction" divergence pattern. On the daily chart, moving averages are in a bullish alignment (MA7 > MA30 > MA120), with an ADX reading of 32.35, indicating strong upward momentum. However, on the 4-hour chart, a death cross signal has appeared, increasing short-term correction pressure. The SAR indicator is at $80,413, with the bullish stop-loss line still valid, but recent candlesticks show a double top pattern, warning of a potential further decline after top confirmation. The daily RSI is 61.17, in a strong zone but not overbought; the 4-hour RSI is about 51.66, neutral to weak, with limited upward space but no sharp decline expected.

In terms of volume and price, there has been a volume spike downward over 24 hours, with slight panic sentiment increase, but overall trading volume has not reached extreme levels. Open interest has recently increased, and whale movements warrant ongoing attention—one whale opened a 501 BTC short at around $80,838 and is currently at a loss; another whale, 0x66f, is long 750 BTC with 10x leverage, with floating gains over $3.8 million from the rise. The fierce battle between bulls and bears suggests that short-term prices are likely to continue oscillating rather than breaking out unilaterally.

Market sentiment shows a Fear & Greed Index of 42, leaning neutral and cautious. Social media sentiment is 57% positive and 26% negative, overall optimistic but not very confident. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continues to accumulate BTC, having bought over 2,000 coins today, with a total holding of 818,869 BTC, reinforcing long-term confidence.

2. Market Range and Key Levels

Core principle: Only do high sell and low buy, never chase breakouts.

Based on current technicals and recent volatility, today’s trading zones are divided into four layers:

High Sell Zone ($81,200 - $81,500)—When price reaches this zone, lightly short or exit positions. The 24-hour high at $81,308 and the psychological and weekly resistance at $82,000 form a double top pattern, which has failed to break twice, favoring short entries.

Watch Zone ($80,500 - $81,200)—When price moves within this zone, hold positions and wait; avoid opening new trades. No clear directional signals here, and rushing in may trigger stop-losses.

Low Buy Zone ($79,800 - $80,400)—When price retraces to this zone, lightly go long. The 24-hour low at $79,848 and the SAR long stop-loss at $80,413 form effective support. After stabilization in this zone, consider long positions with a swing space of about $600–$800.

Strong Support Zone ($78,500 - $79,500)—Only consider adding long positions if price dips deeply into this zone. The area around $78,000 is supported by the daily MA30; a break below could reverse the trend, requiring reassessment.

3. Specific Trading Strategies

First Entry: When price retraces to around $80,200, go long with 30% of total capital, targeting $81,000, with a stop-loss at $79,600. Expected profit: about $800.

Second Entry: When price rises to around $81,200, go short with 30% of total capital, targeting $80,400, with a stop-loss at $81,700. Expected profit: about $800.

Third Entry: If price falls again to around $79,800, add long positions with 40% of total capital, targeting $80,800, with a stop-loss at $79,200. Expected profit: about $1,000.

In a sideways market, the daily cumulative profit target is about $1,200–$1,600. The win rate is relatively high, but individual profits are limited. The key is patience—wait for the zone boundaries to trigger rather than entering prematurely.

4. Risk Control and Capital Management

Position management: No single position should exceed 20% of total capital, and holdings should not be in more than two directions (allowing for hedging). Max daily drawdown should not exceed 5%, and if daily profit reaches 2% of total capital, consider reducing positions.

Strictly enforce stop-loss rules, which include four hard rules:

1. Technical Stop-Loss—Exit immediately if key support is broken or resistance is surpassed, without hesitation.

2. Time Stop-Loss—If holding a position for over 4 hours without reaching the target, reassess whether the trend has changed; if the direction is unclear, close the position.

3. Capital Stop-Loss—Unconditionally stop out if loss reaches 3% of the principal; do not hold losing positions.

4. Trailing Stop—Once profit reaches 1%, move the stop-loss to the breakeven point (cost basis) to lock in profits and prevent losses.

Currently, pay special attention to risk signals: the 4-hour moving average death cross has appeared, and if the double top pattern confirms, it could trigger deeper corrections; whale short positions are sizable, and their movements may cause short-term volatility. Overall, today’s operations should be conservative—prefer fewer trades over making mistakes.
