$BTC Scalping Trade – 5 Minute Timeframe (Rejection + Structure Continuation)
This trade on BTC (5M chart) is a perfect example of a continuation short after a local top.
Market Context
Price was in a short-term uptrend, making higher highs.
Most traders were expecting price to continue going up.
But near the top, the market showed signs of weakness.
Trade Breakdown
📍 1. Rejection from Resistance Zone
Price reached a key intraday resistance area and failed to break higher.
Strong rejection candles formed — showing seller presence.
📍 2. Entry at Pullback
Instead of selling the first red candle, entry was taken on the pullback to the entry zone.
This gives:
✔ Better entry price
✔ Smaller stop
✔ Higher reward potential
📍 3. Stop Loss Placement
Stop loss was placed above the recent high / liquidity zone, where the trade idea becomes invalid.
📍 4. Structure Shift Down
After entry, price started making lower highs and lower lows — confirming bearish momentum.
📍 5. Target (1:2 R:R)
Target was set at a previous support / liquidity zone below, giving a clean 1:2 risk-to-reward setup.
Why This Trade Works
✔ Resistance rejection
✔ Liquidity above highs
✔ Smart pullback entry
✔ Clear risk management
✔ Momentum shift in favor of sellers
This is not random selling — this is structure + liquidity based trading.
Result
📉 Price continued falling
🎯 Target achieved
