Context: Range-bound consolidation after impulsive sell
Market Phase: Liquidity trap
Bias: Neutral → Reactive (edge-based only)
Current Market Structure
ADA experienced a sharp impulsive sell, followed by a long horizontal consolidation.
Price is now stuck between:
Range High / Resistance: ~0.375
Range Low / Weekly Low Liquidity: ~0.345
This is a textbook compression range, where both breakout buyers and breakdown sellers get punished.
Current price (~0.361) is dead center of the range, which is the worst possible location to take directional trades.
Middle of the range = market tax for impatient traders.
What the Chart Is Really Doing
Price keeps oscillating without follow-through, confirming lack of dominance from both buyers and sellers.
Every push up fails near resistance.
Every push down finds bids before reaching weekly low liquidity.
This behavior confirms a retail trap zone, exactly as you marked.
The market is farming liquidity, not trending.
Primary Plan: Buy Only at Range Low
Entry Zone: 0.345–0.348 (weekly low liquidity sweep)
Stop: Below 0.338
Targets:
T1: 0.360 (range mid)
T2: 0.372–0.375 (range high)
Logic:
If price sweeps weekly lows and reclaims, it signals stop-hunting and absorption. That’s where professionals buy, not in the middle.
Secondary Plan: Sell Only at Range High
Entry Zone: 0.372–0.375 (range resistance)
Stop: Above 0.382
Targets:
T1: 0.360
T2: 0.348
Logic:
Range highs are defending well. Until broken with volume and acceptance, selling supply makes sense.
What NOT to Do
Do not long in the middle of the range.
Do not short in the middle of the range.
Do not assume breakout direction without a liquidity event first.
This is how traders slowly bleed while “being right” multiple times a day.
Confirmation Triggers
Bullish confirmation:
Sweep below 0.345 → strong reclaim → hold above 0.350
Bearish confirmation:
Acceptance below 0.345 on 1H close with follow-through
Until one of these happens, direction is fake.
