Multi-Timeframe Signal Summary

| 4-hour | Bullish | MA7 > MA30 > MA120 full bull alignment, PDI > MDI, ADX=35 (strong trend) |
| Daily | Caution | CCI overbought (104), WR overbought (-13), SAR flipped bearish |

Directional Take

Lean Long, but with tight structure.

• The 4H trend is the dominant signal — strong uptrend with clear momentum and volume confirmation (volume surge + price up).
• The daily is flashing overbought (CCI 104, WR -13) and daily SAR has turned bearish, meaning a pullback or consolidation is increasingly likely at this range.
• The 15-min MACD divergence is a near-term warning: don't chase entries at the current print. Wait for a micro-pullback before entering long.
• Price is currently below the 15-min MA20 (74,943), which reinforces short-term weakness.

Short is not favored given the dominant 4H bull structure and macro tailwinds (BlackRock +$291M inflow Apr 15, Charles Schwab launching spot BTC trading).

Suggested Long Setup

Entry zone: 74,200 – 74,600 (let the 15-min CCI oversold play out, look for price to stabilize near SAR support -74,565)

Stop Loss: Below 73,200 (under the 24H low of 73,308 with buffer)

• Risk: -$1,370–1,570 per BTC

Take Profit zones:

• TP1: 75,500 (near 24H high resistance)
• TP2: 77,000–78,000 (if 4H momentum continues)

Risk/Reward: roughly 1:1.5 to 1:2.2 depending on entry

Key Risks to Watch

• Daily SAR has turned bearish — if BTC fails to reclaim 75,500 cleanly, the pullback could extend toward the 72,000–73,000 range.
• Miners sold a record 32,000+ BTC in Q1 2026 — persistent supply pressure in the background.
• Strategy holds 767K BTC with a $14.5B paper loss — sentiment overhang if macro deteriorates.

Bottom line: 4H trend says long, daily says be selective with entries. Don't buy the current candle — wait for the 15-min pullback to settle and confirm a base before committing. Set your SL below 73,200 and scale out at TP1 before pushing to TP2.
