Is this a breakdown or a meltup?

The choice is yours - you can see it any way you like.

The technical features here are:
1. Reducing peaks of squeeze momentum.
2. Recent RSI is below 50.
3. Rejection of 4H ATR line.
4. Large area of consolidation.

Caution: none of the above means that price has to crash. Just to be clear - price could well go to the moon. The technical situation in my assessment (at this time) means greater probability for the south. Probability estimates do not predict how far a movement may go.

This is a set up for a trend-following scenario i.e. high risk to high gain. High risk means high probability of big losses, if you don't know what you're doing if you short this.

Following a trend south means finding a suitable trend that is below the 4H time frame. There is no magic formula to work that out.
