Bitcoin Market Context and Directional Bias
Bitcoin Futures tested the 100,000 round number after a decline of about 22 percent from the 127,240 all time high to 99,250. Round numbers attract liquidity and often spark short covering and first attempts to buy the dip. tradeCompass does not try to call a final bottom. It gives you a price map with activation thresholds and logical partial profit targets so you can execute with discipline.
Price is currently above the bullish threshold at 101,375. The challenge is timing. Entering here exposes you to a pullback toward the threshold. tradeCompass favors waiting for cleaner interactions with the activation level or for acceptance to rebuild near clear magnets such as a developing point of control.
Bitcoin Futures Price Activation and Entry Tactics
Long idea
Use 101,375 as activation. Prefer one of these instead of chasing:
Pullback and hold near 101,375. Let price retest 101,200 to 101,400 and re accept above 101,375 before committing.
Reclaim sequence after a deeper dip. If price slips under 101,000 then reclaims 101,400 and 101,500, that sequence offers confirmation without losing the tradeCompass logic.
Acceptance near 101,650. If the developing point of control continues to build around 101,650, entries anchored there are valid as long as 101,375 holds on retests.
Short idea
Use 100,665 as bearish activation. If price breaks and holds below 100,665, sellers regain control and the path opens toward 100,000 and yesterday’s low.
Bitcoin Key Levels and Partial Profit Strategy for Today and This Week
Long partial profit targets after activation above 101,375
101,650. Yesterday’s point of control and current intraday acceptance magnet. First scale to pay for risk.
101,950. Today’s developing point of control region. After TP2, move stop to entry.
102,655. Near today’s high and close to yesterday’s VWAP. Common mean reversion checkpoint.
103,150. Prior micro shelf. Expect responsive sellers on first touch.
104,065. Upper composite shelf. Suitable for final scaling. A later test of 104,635 can occur but is not part of today’s official targets.
Short partial profit targets after activation below 100,665
99,645. Demand pocket above the big figure.
99,285. Consolidation shelf where bounces often trigger.
98,720. Measured extension under yesterday’s low where stop clusters tend to live.
Runner to 95,100. Keep 25 percent for a structural slide if weakness extends.
How Crypto Traders Use the Compass in Real Time
Treat thresholds as a map.
If price approaches a threshold but fails to hold, a fade back into the prior range is valid.
If price breaks and holds through a threshold, follow the partial profit ladder for that side.
One trade per direction per tradeCompass to avoid overtrading.
Stop Loss Logic and Risk Controls
Place the initial stop just beyond the activation side with a small buffer.
For longs that activate above 101,375, the stop sits just below that line with a sensible cushion.
Never place a stop beyond the opposite threshold. If the opposite threshold breaks, the idea is invalid and you should already be flat.
After TP2, move the stop to entry to protect gains and let the runner work.
Tactics by Trader Type
Day traders and leveraged traders
Wait for a retest and hold of 101,375 or the reclaim sequence through 101,400 and 101,500.
Take partials at each listed target.
If you miss a move into resistance, wait for the next clean interaction rather than chasing.
Short term swing traders
Use the same activation and targets with a slightly wider tolerance.
Keep the partial profit ladder identical.
Move to breakeven after TP2.
Long term investors timing a dip
Use 101,375 as a timing tool.
If it fails and 100,665 breaks, step aside and wait for a fresh reclaim.
This avoids parking a distant stop far below and hoping. Small tactical losses are acceptable if they buy you a better entry later.
Educational Corner: Partial Profit Taking that Serves the Plan
Scaling out at logical magnets such as point of control zones, yesterday’s VWAP, and prior shelves smooths your equity curve.
The first partial helps pay for risk.
The second partial reduces exposure and calms decision making.
The remaining size is your optionality for an extended move.
This approach keeps you flexible without guessing whether a swing becomes a trend.
Optional Confirmation
If you like extra confirmation, consult your candles and a simple rule such as two closes through a threshold on the 5 minute chart or a timed hold.
Order flow tools like orderFlow Intel can help some traders refine timing, yet they are not required. tradeCompass by itself is sufficient for an organized plan.
Trade Management Reminders for Bitcoin Traders Today
One trade per direction per tradeCompass. Over trading in crypto will almost surely bust you out.
Move the stop to entry after TP2 to protect gains and manage the runner.
Do not place stops beyond the opposite threshold.
Avoid chasing. Let price come to your map.
