SOL - Sideways Range, I Think a Decision Is ComingSOL / TetherUSBINANCE:SOLUSDTKatsumi-NoharaKatsu on the Bridge. Let’s check the SOL radar. On the SOL 4H chart, a fairly clean sideways structure is starting to form. The upper boundary is roughly marked by the blue zone around 77.09, while the lower boundary is the blue support around 72.79, which currently looks like the more important range low. The current price is around 76.49, so we are already closer to the top of the range than to the bottom. The current picture is not exactly bearish, but this is also not the kind of situation where I would blindly chase a long. The RSI is around 55, so it is mostly neutral, slightly positive, but there is not enough momentum for me to say that price should simply run through every resistance from here. The red zones above are bearish Order Blocks, while the green zones below are bullish Order Blocks. This gives us a clear battlefield: near the bottom we watch for buyer zones, and near the top we watch for seller reaction. Important Zones Resistances 77.09 - nearby blue resistance, the top of the current range 77.97 - bearish Order Block, stronger upper resistance 80.51 - higher bearish zone 82.10 - distant upper resistance Supports 75.82 - nearby bullish OB / first support 73.74 - more important lower bullish zone 72.79 - range low, blue support 71.37 - deeper green support Simple Battle Plan Long Entry - Bounce From Support I would not look for a long at the top of the range. I would be more interested if price revisits the 73.74 - 72.79 zone and gives a buyer reaction there. What I want to see: retest into the area around 73.74, or deeper toward 72.79 rejection wick bullish ChoCh on the lower timeframe support holding after the retest RSI not completely falling apart In simple terms: support --> sweep --> bullish reaction --> ChoCh --> long Possible Long Plan Entry: between 73.00 - 74.00, after confirmation Stop Loss: below 71.08 TP1: 74.61 TP2: 75.87 TP3: 76.81 This long only makes sense if SOL does not just drift into the zone, but buyers actually show up there. Short Entry - From the Range Top I would look for a short around the upper zone between 77.09 - 77.97, but only if price stalls there and cannot stay above it. What I want to see: wick into the 77.09 - 77.97 zone slowing momentum rejection wick bearish ChoCh on the lower timeframe drop back below 77.09 In simple terms: resistance --> wick up --> rejection --> bearish ChoCh --> short Possible Short Plan Entry: between 77.10 - 78.00, after confirmation Stop Loss: above 78.60 TP1: 75.82 TP2: 73.74 TP3: 72.79 If SOL closes steadily above 77.97 on the 4H timeframe and then holds the retest, I would let this short idea go, because the market could then start looking toward 80.51 instead. With smaller and larger swings, SOL is now starting to get trapped inside this sideways range. These swings must be respected, which is why we never enter directly into the move. We wait for confirmation first, and only after we get it do we enter, so the swing itself cannot surprise us. This range can be traded nicely if we do not try to play hero in the middle, but instead wait for the reaction at the zones. The plan is simple: I am looking for a long reaction between 73.74 - 72.79. I am looking for a short reaction between 77.09 - 77.97. Above 77.97, the short idea weakens, and 80.51 can come next. Below 72.79, I would be more careful with the long side. The zone is not the entry, only a radar signal. The entry comes from the reaction. This is not financial advice. The raccoon was simply thinking out loud about JUP today. I wrote down what I see, what I think, and how I would trade it. Then either I am right... or we learn from it. :)) IMPORTANT! The entry prices and stop-loss levels are not set in stone. These are my own plans, and I share them only to teach the thinking process behind the setup. Never enter a trade blindly just because someone said so. Check it, verify it, and make your own decision. This is exactly how I explain it to my students as well, because this way the logic is easier to follow, and it becomes clearer what I actually mean when I talk about Order Blocks.
