Overview (Integrated Overview)
All three provided timeframes (Daily, 4H, and 15m, all now confirmed to have negative Money Flow), The current price is approximately 84,579.
Integrated Analysis
-
Trend:
- Daily: Bearish. While the price is above the EMAs, the strongly negative Money Flow on the Daily chart overrides the EMA signal, indicating a bearish trend. The Ichimoku Cloud is neutral, further supporting the idea that the previous bullish trend is weakening.
- 4H: Bearish. Strongly negative Money Flow and a potential (but not yet confirmed) inverted Head and Shoulders pattern.
- 15m: Bearish. Negative Money Flow.
-
SMC & ICT (Smart Money Concepts & Inner Circle Trader):
- Buyside Liquidity: Above the current high. Potential resistance levels (derived from the Daily chart image, assuming it's from 2025): 90456.8, 92755.8, 95054.9, 97354.0, 99653.1, 101952.1, 104251.3, 106550.3, 109998.9, and 117000.0. On the 15m chart (though we are prioritizing the Daily and 4H now), Buyside Liquidity would be represented by recent swing highs.
- Sellside Liquidity: Key support: 80,000 (this is the approximate neckline of the potential Head and Shoulders pattern on the 4H chart, a round number, and a psychological support level). Other support levels (derived from the Daily chart image): 83559.5, 81260.4, 78961.4, 76662.3, 74363.2, 72064.1, 69705.1, 67400.0, 66811.7, and 65166.9. On the 15m chart, Sellside Liquidity would be represented by recent swing lows.
-
Money Flow:
- Daily: Strongly Negative. This is a major bearish signal.
- 4H: Strongly Negative. This reinforces the bearish signal and is consistent with the Daily chart.
- 15m: Negative. This confirms the short-term outflow of money.
- The consistently negative Money Flow across all timeframes is the most important and dominant indicator in this analysis.
-
EMA (Exponential Moving Averages):
- Daily: Price is above the EMA 50 (yellow) and EMA 200 (white). However, the strongly negative Money Flow overrides the bullish signal typically provided by the price being above the EMAs.
- 4H: Price is above the EMA 50 and EMA 200. Again, the strongly negative Money Flow overrides this.
- 15m: Price is oscillating around the EMA 50 and above the EMA 200. The negative Money Flow overrides this.
-
Trend Strength (AlgoAlpha Indicator):
- Daily: The Ichimoku Cloud is gray (Neutral). This is not a bullish signal and is consistent with the negative Money Flow.
- 4H: The Ichimoku Cloud is gray (Neutral).
- 15m: The Ichimoku Cloud is gray (Neutral).
-
Chart Patterns:
- Daily: No fully formed classic chart pattern. However, the recent price action shows a loss of upward momentum and the beginning of a potential downward move. This weakening price action, combined with the strongly negative Money Flow, is bearish.
- 4H: Potential inverted Head and Shoulders pattern. This is a bearish reversal pattern. It's crucial to understand that this pattern is not yet confirmed. Confirmation requires a decisive break below the neckline (approximately 80,000-81,000), with increased volume and continued negative Money Flow.
- 15m: No clearly defined classic chart pattern. The 15m price action is best understood as potentially forming the right shoulder of the 4H Head and Shoulders.
SMC-Based Day Trading Strategies
Given the overwhelmingly bearish evidence – primarily the strongly negative Money Flow across all timeframes, combined with the potential Head and Shoulders pattern on the 4H chart – the only justifiable trading strategy is extreme caution and a strong bias against long positions. Short positions have a slightly higher probability of success, but only under very specific conditions and with extremely tight risk management.
-
Long (Buy): Absolutely, unequivocally not recommended. There is no technical justification for entering a long position at this time. This would be trading directly against the dominant bearish signals.
-
Short (Sell):
- Entry: This is the only trade with any potential, and only if all of the following conditions are met:
- The Head and Shoulders pattern on the 4H chart fully completes with a decisive break below the neckline (80,000-81,000).
- The breakout below the neckline occurs on significantly increased volume.
- The Money Flow on all three timeframes (Daily, 4H, and 15m) remains strongly negative at the time of the breakout.
- Additional bearish confirmation is present (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns, bearish divergences on other oscillators like RSI or MACD – which we cannot see from the provided images).
- Target: Sellside Liquidity levels, derived from the Daily chart. Potential targets include, but are not limited to: 78961.4, 76662.3, 74363.2, and potentially lower.
- Stop Loss: Immediately above the neckline (after the breakout) or above the high of the right shoulder (if placing the trade before a confirmed neckline break – which is extremely risky). An extremely tight stop-loss is absolutely mandatory due to the inherent volatility of BTC and the potential for false breakouts.
- Entry: This is the only trade with any potential, and only if all of the following conditions are met:
-
No Trade (Cash): This is, by far, the best and most prudent option for the vast majority of traders and investors. The risk of a substantial price decline is extremely high, given the confluence of bearish signals. Preserving capital should be the primary objective.
Key Levels to Watch:
- 80,000 - 81,000 (4H Chart): This is the neckline of the potential Head and Shoulders pattern. A sustained break below this level, with the confirming factors listed above, would be a strong bearish signal.
- Money Flow on all chart:
Conclusion
The overall technical picture for BTC, strongly bearish. The dominant factor is the consistently and strongly negative Money Flow across all three timeframes. This overrides any seemingly bullish signals from the EMAs. The potential (but unconfirmed) Head and Shoulders pattern on the 4H chart adds further weight to the bearish case.
Long positions are completely unjustified and extremely risky. Short positions might be considered, but only with the strictest possible entry criteria, complete confirmation from multiple indicators, and extremely tight risk management. The "Wait and See" approach, prioritizing capital preservation, is the most prudent strategy for most market participants. This situation calls for extreme caution and a defensive posture.
