Don't chase; buy dips or confirmed breaks only • Key levels — Resistance: 79,400–79,500 (Aug 21 high + 24h high), 80,000, 80,849, 81,479 • Support: 77,962, 77,382, 76,888, then SMA20 71,779 🎯 TRADE SETUPS 1) Breakout Long (momentum) • Buy Stop 79,550 (clearance of the 79,400/79,500 double lid) | SL 78,820 | TP1 80,850, TP2 81,480 • R:R ~1:2.6 (TP2) | Size: 0.05 BTC (≈$365 risk) • Range compression + Saylor bid = upside break has fuel; invalidation back inside range. 2) Dip-Buy Limit (preferred) • Buy Limit 77,400 (retest of Aug 29 low cluster) | SL 76,830 (below 76,888 swing) | TP1 78,436 (SMA10), TP2 79,400 • R:R ~1:3.5 (TP2) | Size: 0.05 BTC (≈$285 risk) • Higher-lows sequence + overbought RSI = better R:R on the retrace than on the chase. 3) Counter-Trend Fade (aggressive) • Sell Limit 80,900 (retest of 80,849) | SL 81,550 (above 81,479) | TP 79,000 • R:R ~1:2.9 | Size: 0.03 BTC (half — fading an uptrend) • Third test of the 80.8–81.5 supply zone with RSI 82.6; strict SL discipline. ⚠️ RISK NOTE RSI 82.6 into a 3rd test of the $81,479 supply zone — a breakout could squeeze shorts fast, so don't front-run Setups 1/3 without confirmation candles. Watch Tuesday's US data and ETF flow reversal (yesterday broke the 9-day streak); a Saylor purchase announcement is the likely gap-risk catalyst in either direction.
