Many traders are shorting the current BTC breakout after it consolidated for 5-6 weeks—mostly because they missed the entire downside move earlier this cycle. Here's the reality: shorting right now isn't the play. You had your window back in September and October (that's when the bearish case actually made sense). The timing just isn't there anymore. If you were sitting on the sidelines during those months, chasing shorts on a breakout is how you get liquidated. The market's structure has shifted. Wait for your setup instead of forcing one.
