In such conditions, where bearish momentum has heavily tipped the scales in the crypto market, traders often face a subtle psychological challenge known as “the sense of guilt” when opening short positions.
What does that mean?
After opening long positions repeatedly, our minds become conditioned to believe that shorting somehow goes against our values — even our trading “beliefs.” This mental association can cause us to miss clear market opportunities, hesitate to enter trades, and fall into a cycle of mental paralysis and indecision.
But indecision isn’t always about fear — fear of liquidation, panic, or haste. Sometimes, it hides behind those very beliefs and rigid patterns of thought, making us feel guilty for taking trades we haven’t opened in months. These biases quietly cloud our judgment, preventing us from viewing the market with clarity and flexibility.
Today, we’re diving right into that — identifying and dismantling our biases and mental rigidities, a skill every skeptical and self-aware trader must develop.
Now, shifting to the 4-hour timeframe — let’s take a closer look at the candles and volume.
The LWC (this 4H structure) is completely bearish, and the MWC also turned bearish after breaking below the 104,000 support.
Analyzing the waves: the first bearish wave had a smaller drop and a larger correction, while the second wave extended lower with more force — signaling strengthening bearish momentum. Volume confirms this: it spikes during drops and fades during corrections, which now look so weak and low-volume they’re practically meaningless.
The down candles are large and decisive, with short shadows — a clear sign of seller dominance and conviction. In contrast, the buyers’ candles are small and hesitant, almost as if begging the sellers for mercy.
Altogether, it paints an obvious picture: Bitcoin’s daily correction phase has begun. Ignoring that is exactly the kind of mental rigidity rooted in the “sense of guilt” buried deep in our conditioning.
Of course, I’m not saying upside is impossible — maybe Bitcoin suddenly jumps 10% with a single green candle. That’s fine. We’ll simply take the stop on our shorts and open longs when the setup shifts.
But on the other hand, refusing to adapt means missing numerous valid setups — trades the market is literally handing us.
The choice is yours, and you need to make it today.
Your short trigger could be the break of 101,381.45 support, or whatever entry your personal strategy defines. The point is simple: trade in the direction of the trend.
If this idea managed to soften some of your mental rigidity and prepare you for the market’s new conditions, don’t forget to boost this Idea.
Now get outta here.
