32.24 · bottom 25%middletop 25% · 34.69
  • Setups to watch: direction is undecided in the middle. Wait for price to reach one edge, then decide between reversal and breakout.
  • Prior move: BTC moved down from $504.45 (the last daily swing) to $33.28, about 460.2 ATR, so the move is extended. Traders often watch the reversal first here.
  • Reversal check: a hammer or bullish engulfing candle near $32.24.
  • Reversal check: a shooting star or bearish engulfing candle near $34.69.
  • Breakout check: RVOL above normal on the break (last day's RVOL: 1.6× on Nov 5). Next zone below: $31.56 – $32.79.
  • Zone tests: price pushed above the zone top 0 times and fell back, and dipped below the bottom and recovered 0 times. Each test can weaken a zone.
  • Distance: 1.02 ATR to the zone bottom, 1.38 ATR to the zone top (ATR ≈ 1.02).

Why swing matters

Swing highs and lows are the turning points that define a trend. Higher highs and higher lows mean an uptrend; lower highs and lower lows mean a downtrend. Breaking the last swing is often the first sign the trend is changing.

How traders use it

  • In an uptrend, traders buy pullbacks that hold above the last swing low.
  • In a downtrend, traders sell rallies that fail below the last swing high.
  • A break of the last swing low in an uptrend (or high in a downtrend) warns of a change.

Trend by timeframe

  • 5-minute: range, last swing LH at —, break level $33.86.
  • 15-minute: range, last swing HH at —, break level $33.99.
  • 1-hour: channel down, last swing LH at —, break level $35.87.
  • Daily: mixed, last swing HH at —, break level $12.90.
  • Gap: BTC opened Nov 5 at $35.10, a gap down of 0.8% from $35.39; the gap was not filled.
  • Round numbers nearby: $30.00, $35.00, $40.00.

Combined conditions

  • Daily zone $32.24–$34.69; VWAP $33.86. Swing levels that line up with zones are the strongest.
  • The delayed price is at the middle of the daily zone after an extended move: wait for an edge.

How to trade around BTC's swing levels

1. Hold above the swing lowAs long as BTC stays above $12.90, the swing low holds; a daily close under it would break the structure.
2. Break above the swing highA daily close above $504.45 would make a higher high and is read as trend strength.
