$USUAL , How to identify trend-following short trading opportunities from a technical perspective.
1. First, determine that the probability of a downtrend at the current level is high from the 15-minute chart (the previous high of 1 hour + insufficient upward momentum in 4 hours).
2. When the price breaks below 1.28, it confirms the start of a downtrend on the 15-minute chart, so you can look for shorting points during a rebound, ensuring a risk-reward ratio of over 2 (expecting to take profit in batches below 1.15) before participating.
3. In the short term, trading is random, but maintaining a logical trading process will yield a positive expected value in the long run.
The most important aspect for professional traders: long-termism.
