To sum up, the current price is in the middle region of the 4h supply and demand, where the risk-reward ratio for both long and short positions is not high. It is better to continue observing and wait for a break above 68,500 to new highs or a confirmed breakdown below 64,000 before entering a trend short position, which would offer a better chance of success and risk-reward ratio. Moreover, quantitative strategies have fully turned bearish and are shorting. Patience is key to waiting for a structure with a higher level of certainty. Not making a trade means not incurring losses, and not losing is earning.

Since this large wedge pattern has run to its end, the probability of the price swinging back and forth in the short term has greatly increased. Therefore, I will keep my hands off until a definitive signal appears. In summary, the current position is somewhat awkward for both long and short positions. Rising wedges typically retrace after a breakdown, and I would rather choose to test a short position on the high side during a price retracement than chase a short on the low side, which is closer to the demand below. As for going long, I would wait until the price breaks above 66,800 before entering. The take-profit level at 68,500 seems a bit small, making it less cost-effective.

BTC is facing a critical test as the price has now touched the lower boundary of the entire uptrend's rising wedge pattern. Additionally, a potential small consolidation box has formed on the 1h timeframe, which, aside from the slightly short duration of the consolidation, can be seen as a key structure in determining whether this bullish trend will end. In the short term, this small consolidation box is currently being supported by the uptrend line, but I do not favor using trend lines with a steep slope as a basis for trading. Therefore, I still recommend using the upper and lower boundaries of the 1h consolidation box as key price levels to watch for a breakout before making trades. It is important to note that the possibility of a false breakout or false breakdown at the upper and lower boundaries of the 1h box exists. Without seeing a confirmed breakout or breakdown on the 1h chart, the risk of chasing shorts or longs is still quite high.
