2. **Key Levels**:
- **Support**: $163.09 (1H Fib 50%), $152.05 (8H Fib 50%). - **Resistance**: $168.23 (1H Fib 61.8%), $171.75 (12H Fib 38.2%).
3. **Volatility**: **ATR** spikes in higher timeframes (12H: $7.89) suggest swing-trading opportunities.

Trading Strategies
| TF | Position | Entry | Stop Loss | Take Profit | R/R | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **1H** | NEUTRAL | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | Consolidation near Fib 61.8% ($168.23); RSI (67.3) nearing overbought. |
| **4H** | NEUTRAL | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | MACD (-1.56) and RSI (51.5) show indecision. Await breakout. |
| **8H** | SHORT | $169.58 | $172.91 (8H SMA) | $152.05 (Fib 50%) | 1:2.5 | Bearish RSI (42.3), OBV downtick. |
| **12H** | NEUTRAL | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | High ATR ($7.89) but conflicting signals (MACD +3.59 vs. OBV -214M). |
- Execution Notes:
- **Risk Management**: Limit positions to **1–3%** of capital. Use stop-losses at key SMA/EMA levels (e.g., 8H SMA: $172.91). - **Sentiment**: Watch for **Funding Rate** shifts. A drop below -0.01% may signal a short squeeze. - **Alignment**: 8H short aligns with 12H bearish OBV but conflicts with MACD. Prioritize **4H/8H confluence**.
