Market Overview

• Price Action: After establishing a new ATH @ 52.6K, Bitcoin has been consolidating and is now testing the 200MAs.
  
• Patterns: N/A
  
• Areas of Interest: The area(s) of interest for me are the 200MAs @ $51.2-51.4K and ATH @ 52.6K. Once price reaches one of these areas, I will monitor for entry confirmations. If the entry confirmations are aligned, I will take a trade and share the my trade in real time.
  

Trade Setups
Below are the potential trade setups that I would be interested in trading:

Long Trade Setup #1: Retest and Continuation (200MAs)
1. Price Action: Price needs to move back down to the 200MAs, currently projected to be @ $51.2-51.4K by the time price reaches it, and bounce back up.
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: Bullish candlestick pattern, above average volume, MACD bottoming

Long Trade Setup #2: Breakout and Continuation
1. Price Action: Price breaks above and falls back down to 52.6K and bounce back up.
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: Bullish candlestick pattern, above average volume, MACD bottoming

Short Trade Setup #1: False Breakout
1. Price Action: Price breaks above and then falls below the high @ 52.6K, forming a bull trap
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: A breakout candlestick followed by a breakdown candlestick, above average volume on both breakout candle and breakdown candle, MACD topping out
