Just another pause before the uptrend?

1) Range expansion to the upside kicked off another good run, which my system caught for +11.5%.
2) The trend was grindy. Alts moved faster than BTC (especially DeFi), which may continue. You can my previous trade in the related idea: "BNB might be the alt to bet on".
3) New highs saw zero volatility and BTC went into a range.
4) The range expanded to the downside. Take profits and/or go short!

Stats are from 1/1/2020 to current using ~2% risk. Since BTCUSD has gone 20x in the past year, short trades have been terrible. That's why I'm sitting this one out. If you like to short, go ahead!
