BTCUSD Technical Analysis – Today’s Breakout Setup!

BTCUSD Technical Analysis – May 19, 2025

The monthly candle for BTCUSD is strongly bullish, and the lower wick is minimal, signaling sustained buying pressure and upward momentum. This structure often leads to continuation patterns, especially when confirmed on multiple timeframes.

Over the past six weeks, the weekly candles have all closed bullish. And this week, we’re finally seeing a strong bullish weekly close, not just a pause or indecisive pattern.

Why This Week Matters

Unlike the previous “pause-type” weekly candles, this week’s close is powerful, showing real conviction from buyers. On top of that, the daily candle also closed bullish, confirming strong short-term momentum.

✅ How to Trade BTCUSD Today

We’re using the Bullish–Bearish Day High Strategy.

Strategy 1: Daily High Breakout Entry

1. Mark the high of the previous daily candle
2. Wait for the price to break above Day high level on the 1-hour timeframe.
3. Once the breakout happens, enter a long trade.
4. Stop-loss (SL): Low of the entry candle on 1-hour timeframe.
5. Target 1: 109173
   Target 2: 111622

This is a momentum breakout trade, ideal for capturing fast moves after daily confirmation.

Strategy 2: Pullback Entry (My Favorite)

1. On the 1-hour chart, wait for a small red candle to form (a minor pullback).
2. Enter a buy trade when the price crosses the high of that red candle.
3. Stop-loss (SL): Low of the entry candle or nearest swing low.
4. Target: Use a minimum Risk:Reward of 1:6 – you can hold it for the full day.

This method gives you a better entry price with a high R:R potential, ideal for intraday swing scalpers.

Final Thoughts

“If you miss big movements, you won’t survive in trading.”

BTCUSD is lining up for a major move. The alignment of monthly, weekly, and daily bullish candles, along with a confirmed ascending triangle breakout, makes this one of the highest-probability trade setups in recent weeks.
