MARKET STRUCTURE: LINK/USDT is in a clear bearish trend on the 4h timeframe, with price declining from recent highs near 19.19 to the current 17.25. The trend is in a late phase with weakening momentum, as indicated by oversold RSI levels (39-40 on 4h) and high ADX (39.9) but narrowing DI lines. On the 1h timeframe, price is range-bound with a bearish bias, trading between 17.10-17.60.

SWING SETUP:

• Direction: WAIT (for confirmed bullish reversal; no high-confidence buy signal yet)
• Entry Zone: 17.00-17.20 (if support holds and bullish confirmation appears)
• Ideal Entry: 17.10 (with signs like a break above 17.50 or RSI > 50 on 1h)
• Setup Type: Potential reversal (counter-trend bounce)
• Confidence: Low

POSITION MANAGEMENT:

• Stop Loss: 16.80 (below recent swing low of 16.93 on 4h and 17.13 on 1h, allowing for minor breaches)
• Target 1: 17.80 (conservative, 3-5 days; aligns with 0.382 Fibonacci retracement from 19.19 to 16.53)
• Target 2: 18.20 (extended, 7-10 days; near 0.5 Fibonacci level)
• Risk/Reward: ~1:2.3 (based on entry at 17.10, stop at 16.80, target1 at 17.80)

KEY LEVELS & SCENARIOS:

• Major Support: 16.90-17.10 (based on recent 1h lows and 4h swing low at 16.93; a hold here could trigger a bounce)
• Major Resistance: 17.80-18.00 (previous support turned resistance and 0.382-0.5 Fibonacci levels)
• If price breaks 16.80 → Expect further decline to 16.50-16.60 (next support zone)
• If price holds 17.00 and breaks 17.50 → Potential rally toward 18.00-18.20

DIVERGENCES & PATTERNS:

• No clear bullish divergences detected; RSI on both timeframes is making lower lows alongside price, indicating sustained bearish momentum.
• Chart patterns: On 4h, a descending pattern is evident, but no reversal patterns like double bottoms or bullish engulfing are confirmed yet.

RISK FACTORS:

• Bearish trend dominance on 4h could lead to further losses below 16.80.
• High sell signal counts in summary data (e.g., 1h: 29 sell vs. 14 buy) suggest persistent selling pressure.
• Volume remains elevated during declines, indicating strong bearish interest. A break below 16.50 would invalidate any near-term bounce scenario.
