ANALYSIS #BTC☀ ON 18/05: BTC HASN'T BOTTOMED OUT – MM MAY STILL SWEEP DEEP TO 75K!
BTC is currently weak after losing the 78.4K zone and is trading sideways under 77K. The outlook for the next 24 hours leans towards a scenario where MM pulls a slight retracement to sweep the chasing shorts, then pressures down to the liquidity zone below.

Wait for BTC to retrace to 77.2K–77.8K to set up a SHORT.

SL: 78.8K
TP1: 76.25K
TP2: 75.3K
TP3: 74.8K

Do not chase shorts at the 76.7K zone as the price is close to support, making it easy to get pulled back up to 77.2K–77.8K for a quick sweep first.

Consider going long only if <a>$BTC </a> sweeps down to 75.3K–74.8K and then bounces strongly, with M15 closing above 75.3K. At that point, it might be a good time to scalp long up to 76.25K–77.2K, with SL below 74.4K.

3-week outlook:
If 74.2K holds, BTC still has a chance to bounce back to 82.8K–84.5K. If D1 closes below 74.2K, the downtrend may extend towards 71.6K–68.9K.
