Ahead of the trader pointed towards taking profit inside the green zone, which has a bounce back signal. I assigned the ‘green zone’ to the critical level where market odds remain in temporary favor. Still, as we have explained, the potential bounce is not what the trader is after and their goal is to see WIF decline once more below $1 targeting the range lows more generally.

The current setup has been in the making more than a week and this shows the trader’s willingness to wait for formation of the right market. These specifically include the increase in market volatilities in the interactions between WIF/BTC and its underlying cryptographic technology, Bitcoin. 

This trade shows the need to track many market pairings and use short-term orientation in heavily weighted assets such as Bitcoin as a way of triggering more general trading strategies.
