Last week hurt if you were just holding. If you were trading the downtrend, there was money on the table. Craig Cobb says his community found multiple short setups and five hit. Not flashy. Just professional trading.
Core message
Stop letting social feeds swing your mood. The same accounts that called the top will claim they called the bottom on the next bounce.
Trade what is in front of you. For Craig, that means tracking lower highs and lower lows on the 8h and 12h and taking small bearish candles in his cradle zone as short entries.
Take partials at 1R. Bank base hits. Survive the chop.
Monthly BTC trend is still a series of higher highs and higher lows. It is a deep pullback but not a monthly trend break.
Macro could flip from liquidity contraction to expansion next year. If that happens, fireworks return. Until then, keep it mechanical.
What he is watching right now
Short setups on majors and selected alts when price pulls back into the cradle zone on the 8h or 12h and prints a small bearish candle.
No need for heroic predictions about bottoms. If the trend changes, the strategy changes.
Why this matters
You do not need to nail tops or bottoms to grow an account. You need rules, risk control, and the ability to ignore clout-chasing hot takes. Craig’s example week shows how 1:1 targets stack when you are consistent.
How to action it today
If you trade: map the 8h and 12h trend, mark pullback zones, wait for small bearish candles, risk 1%, take 1R, move on.
If you invest: zoom out to the monthly to keep perspective and avoid emotional sells in the hole.
