TRADE №26. LTCUSDT. SHORT.

Break + retest — an old play, the market has played it before, just the scenery changes. H1 shows the direction: price below EMA25, the EMA itself is tilted downwards, as if it knows how it will all end. The level is not from the middle of the swamp — it has history, with touches, with past pullbacks, where the crowd has already been burned once 🔥💀. On M15, the breakout is impulsive: the body of the candle is confident, volume is above average, they didn't let it back in. Not pretty — but honest. The market rarely apologizes.

M5 — quick retest, without unnecessary conversations. The price approached the level and immediately showed a reaction: fading, a hint of a pin bar, without attempts to close back. Volume on the retest has decreased, as it should, the EMA7 impulse still holds the direction. Risk is calculated, the math doesn't cry: R/R ≥ 1:2.5, stop beyond the extreme with a buffer, risk less than 1%. MACD and RSI are not interfering — and that's enough 📉.

Emotions are even, without FOMO and without the desire to "improve the market with hands." All the mandatory points are in place — which means the decision is made. Further is not my story, further is the price's story. I'll just watch how it ends.
