🔥My Recent Trade Sharing ETH/USDT Perpetual (Breakout & Retest Strategy🔥
Trade Type: USDT-M Futures
Trading Pair: ETH/USDT
Timeframes Used: 1H for structure, 15M for execution
Leverage: 5x
Final Result: Profit of approximately +6.8%
Market Context & Analysis
Before entering this trade, ETH had been consolidating for several days, forming a clear ascending triangle on the 1-hour chart. Price continued to make higher lows while repeatedly testing a strong resistance zone around the 2,380 level. This type of structure often indicates accumulation, especially when selling pressure fails to push price lower.
Volume analysis showed a gradual increase during the consolidation phase, which suggested that buyers were stepping in rather than exiting. This gave me confidence that a breakout was more likely than a rejection, but I still waited for confirmation instead of entering early.
Entry Logic
When price finally broke above the resistance zone, I did not chase the breakout. Instead, I waited for a pullback to confirm that the former resistance would act as new support. On the 15-minute timeframe, ETH retraced back to the breakout level and showed clear rejection wicks along with stable volume. Once support was confirmed, I entered the long position at 2,385.
Risk Management
Risk control was my top priority in this trade. I placed my stop loss at 2,345, slightly below the previous structure low. If price fell back into the consolidation range, the trade idea would be invalidated. My position size was calculated so that even if the stop loss was hit, the loss would remain within my predefined risk limit.
Exit Strategy & Profit Taking
I set multiple take-profit targets to manage the position more effectively. The first target was placed at 2,430 to secure partial profits and reduce psychological pressure. The second target was set near 2,470, a level aligned with the next resistance zone on the higher timeframe. This allowed me to lock in gains while letting the remainder of the position run.
Post-Trade Review
Overall, this trade was executed according to plan with no emotional decisions involved. The entry was slightly conservative because I waited for confirmation, which caused me to miss a small part of the initial move. However, this approach significantly reduced the risk of entering a false breakout. In future trades, I may consider scaling in gradually to balance confirmation and optimal pricing.
Key Lessons & Reflections
This trade reinforced several important principles:
Structure and volume provide stronger signals than indicators alone
Waiting for confirmation increases win-rate over time
Proper stop-loss placement is more important than perfect entries
Consistency and discipline matter more than short-term profits
Experience Summary
Trading is not about predicting the market, but reacting to what price is showing with a clear plan. Following a well-defined strategy and respecting risk management helped make this trade successful. Long-term profitability comes from repeating this process consistently, not from chasing high-risk opportunities.
