4.18 Big Cake Midday Thoughts
The bulls are strong, and the shorts are severely trapped; the main force won’t easily give them a way out.
Pull back to 76,400-76,800 in batches to go long, targeting 77,500-78,000
Second Cake is moving in tandem with Big Cake, leaning towards strength; pullbacks to add longs are the main approach.
Go long at 2390-2410, targeting 2440-2450
If the level breaks, reassess your trading plan.
Keep a light position + set a stop loss; don’t chase highs blindly. #Btc
