intraday scalp levels for BTCUSDT futures based on current structure around 68k.
Context (for today/this week)
• Spot BTC ≈ 68,000 USDT with recent range roughly 67,000–70,000 after rejection from 70k+.
• Volatility is still high (recent 1‑month range ~62.6k–74k), so 300–600‑point intraday swings are normal.
Intraday zones (use 5m–15m price action)
Immediate resistance (short bias zones)
• 68,800–69,200: intraday supply just below the 70k wall, good for fade‑the‑pump shorts if 5m shows wicks / RSI divergence.
• 69,800–70,200: major “supply wall” identified earlier this week; look for failed breakouts to build shorts with tight stops.
Suggested scalp plan (short side):
• Entry: 68,800–69,200 or 69,800–70,200 only on rejection candles.
• SL: 150–250 points beyond the zone (e.g., above 69,400 or 70,400–70,500).
• TP1: mid‑range 68,200–68,000; TP2: 67,400–67,000 if momentum builds.
Immediate support (long scalp zones)
• 67,400–67,000: near short‑term support and MA cluster; buy only if you see absorption (long lower wicks, decreasing sell momentum) 66,200–65,800: deeper support aligned with recent downside test area; better RR for counter‑trend bounces.
Suggested scalp plan (long side):
• Entry: 67,400–67,000 or 66,200–65,800 on clear rejection from lows.
• SL: 150–250 points below zone (e.g., under 66,800 or 65,500).
• TP1: back to 68,000; TP2: 68,800–69,000, then trail.
Risk and execution notes
• Use 3–5x leverage max for scalps; 0.5–1% account risk per trade is ideal given 1–2% intraday swings.
• Watch Binance/Bybit futures order book, funding, and OI; avoid fading strong one‑sided moves with rising OI.
• Combine these zones with your own 15m VWAP, 50/100 EMA, and local liquidity highs/lows before triggering entries.
