BTC has been trading in an ascending triangle for a couple weeks now
This pattern is identified by higher lows and equal highs
Traders see this pattern and start seeing the highs as resistance, so they start shorting and putting their stop losses right above this line
These stop losses usually get wiped out with a quick wick like in the pic above - this is a stop hunt
But what's a loss to some, is an opportunity to others
Price will either bounce or go even lower, so depending on what happens I will adjust my trade accordingly
