What’s up traders,
Markets are sending mixed signals, making this a game of patience and precision rather than impulse. Our analysts suggest with heavy news flow and BTC breaking down from its ascending channel, discipline is key and it is more about waiting for price to come into high-conviction zones instead of chasing moves. This is a sniper environment, where the best opportunities come from reacting at key levels while managing risk carefully.

This long trade idea has been under observation in ChartHackers for a couple of weeks. The next signal (hopefully a green B) will confirm the long trade idea for which we are patiently waiting. We note the RSI on the lower timeframes is overextended, so a pullback into the entry zone is expected. The stop loss is based on previous lows and losing support, and take profit is based on anchored VWAP, liquidity, and taking profit slightly before the moving averages. We are patiently waiting for the price to come down and reach our entry. With a lot of news in the market today, please be sure to always use a stop loss. We will also be keeping a close eye on BTC this week, as it broke the ascending channel quite severely since last week’s charts.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $0.078 region (ladder in)
Stop Loss: $0.07 region (4% move) (candle close below)
Take Profit Levels (TP):

Chart #2 – Render (RENDERUSDT) 1-Day
Chartist: Dylan
(For the chart screenshot, click here)
RENDER is currently retracing and finding a new support level after losing a key level at the 200 SMA. RENDER is showing temporary support holding a macro $1.50 at the 0.707 Fibonacci retracement level, but is front-running a key horizontal zone at $1.40. This $1.40 level was previously the daily consolidation level that led to a 75% breakout back in March of 2026. Ideally, we would like to see RENDER visit the $1.40 level to show signs of confirmed support, especially if the bias is bullish. The expectation is to begin expanding once that level is confirmed as support. Our research suggests, the confluence for this long idea includes the 0.786 Fibonacci level, previous horizontal daily support, and the daily level liquidity order block.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $1.38 through $1.27 (must ladder in)
Stop Loss: 4-Hour close under $1.27
Take Profit Levels (TP):
TP1: $1.54
TP2: $1.71

Chart #3 – Chiliz (CHZUSDT) 1-Hour
Chartist: Dylan
(For the chart screenshot, click here)
CHZ is currently on a confirmed rising trendline and is also maintaining the uptrend Anchored VWAP. The 3-Day timeframe on Chart Prime printed a Reversal, and the Daily printed a Bullish Divergence not too long ago. We are anticipating a potential pump in the short term with the World Cup starting, which could lead to some nice volatility.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $0.02610 through $0.02706
Stop Loss: 4-Hour Candle Close Below $0.02510
Take Profit Levels (TP):
TP1: $0.02900
TP2: $0.03050
TP3: $0.03250
Chart #4 – Bittensor (TAOUSDT) 8-Hour
Chartist: Dylan
(For the chart screenshot, click here)
We are looking for a long trade on TAO as price retraces back into the cluster formation that originally created the breakout. The setup is built around the naked Point of Control (POC), previous value area support, and a market maker candle that was left behind. The expectation is for price to revisit this area, find support, and rotate back higher. We also have strong daily support in the zone, adding further confluence to the setup.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $176.88
Stop Loss: $168.81 (1-Hour candle close below VAL and the 0.886 Fib)
Take Profit Levels (TP):
TP1: $220.00
Chart #5 – MicroStrategy (MSTR) 4-Hour
Chartist: Dylan
(For the chart screenshot, click here)
(MSTR refers to the stock of MicroStrategy and not a cryptocurrency.)
We have lost the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, and it appears we are forming a 5-wave move to the downside. We are looking for a Wave 4 bounce, and I am looking to short the top of the 4th wave. This will coincide with a bearish retest of the moving averages, as well as test the Bearish VWAP from the most recent high. This would give the chart a head and shoulders look as a visual confluence.
Trade Levels:
Entry: $135 through to $141
Stop Loss: above $145
Take Profit Levels (TP):
TP1: $93 (leave some in case Saylor sells)
Banter’s Take
Patience is the name of the game today. Nearly every chart is a "wait for it" setup, targeting deep pullbacks to strong support before entry. This is not a market for chasing green candles. Instead, the strategy is clear: let the price come to your level, or do not take the trade. That MSTR short adds a healthy dose of reality, reminding us that not everything is going straight up. Smart trading is about having a plan for both sides of the market.
