This is a good example of how failed breakdowns can create opportunity. $BTC initially broke below the $71.5K level, which could suggest weakness. But that weakness did not follow through. Instead, price reclaimed the level and held it as LTF support (white circle). That’s the shift. A failed breakdown followed by a reclaim often leads to a move in the opposite direction, as trapped positions unwind. That’s where the long opportunity came in. The long was initiated after a clean 15M close back above the level (yellow circle), confirming acceptance. From there, price expanded back into the prior range. As price moved deeper into the range and approached the upper boundary of the prior range, the position was closed to lock in profits (orange circle). That resulted in a clean 3% move in profit. This is how to think about these conditions: Breakdown alone is not enough. Follow-through is what matters. If a breakdown fails and price reclaims the level, the move is more likely to go back up. Execution then becomes: Enter on reclaim + confirmation Target a move back into the prior range Take profits into resistance Watch the failure. Trade the reclaim.
