Traders Chase Breakouts. The Profitable Ones Wait for the Retest

📈 ETH/USD — 4H MARKET OUTLOOK
- ETH has broken out of its short-term rising structure and is now pulling back into a high-probability retest zone, creating a clean bullish continuation setup. Market structure has shifted from bearish to bullish with higher highs, higher lows, and strong volume support.
- Your chart shows two potential long entries both valid depending on the aggressiveness of the trader.

1️⃣ Break of Structure + Trendline Retest
ETH successfully broke above the rising trendline and is now forming a corrective pullback.
This is exactly what we want to see before entering a continuation move.
- Impulse up = strong, clean candles
- Pullback = controlled, low volatility
- Trendline retest = confirmation of demand

This is textbook bullish market behavior.

2️⃣ Entry Zones
🔶 ENTRY 1 (Aggressive Entry)
- Positioned right at the trendline retest
- For traders who want early entry with more risk
- Expect volatility but strong R:R if the bounce holds

🔷 ENTRY 2
- Wait for price to retrace deeper into minor structure support
- Higher confirmation, lower risk
- Ideal for swing traders

Both entries target the same bullish continuation structure.

3️⃣ Target Zone
Your take-profit zone is correctly placed at $3,600–$3,650, aligned with:
- Previous major supply zone
- Strong historical rejection area
- Completion of the next liquidity sweep

If ETH maintains structure, this zone will be tested.

4️⃣ Stop-Loss Placement
A stop below $3,060 – $3,100 is ideal because:
- It sits under the retest zone
- Below previous higher low
- Below liquidity pockets that market makers typically manipulate
If this level breaks, bullish structure collapses so the SL is perfect.

➡️ Primary Scenario
ETH pulls back → creates a higher low → bounces from Entry 1 or Entry 2 → continuation into $3,600+.
Market structure is bullish and favors long setups.

⚠️ Risk Scenario
If price breaks and closes below $3,060, the bullish setup fails and ETH may revisit the major support zone near $2,750 – $2,800.

Your edge isn’t in predicting the market — it’s in being patient enough to wait for the setup that others ignore.
