🎯 TD SETUP QUALITY: 27/100 (WEAK) | Count 5/9 (mid-count — building toward exhaustion)
✅ CONFIRMATIONS (1): Volume bearish
🕐 MTF CONSENSUS: ❌ DIVERGENT — BULLISH on 1H/4H/1D (70% confidence)
🎯 REGIME: RANGING | low vol | Strategy: mean_reversion
🤖 ENSEMBLE: 2 methods combined | Confidence: 83%
📊 MARKET CONTEXT: MACD bullish cross active, RSI at 63 (neutral), sell-side volume dominant.
⚠️ RISK MANAGEMENT: Stop $468 (0.9x ATR) — tight for crypto, size down.
📈 R:R ASSESSMENT: T1 R:R is acceptable.
🎬 ENTRY TRIGGER: Wait for confirmed 1H bearish close within entry zone. LOW CONFIDENCE — Skip or micro-size only.
Position sizing: 💰 POSITION SIZE: 1–1.5% of portfolio risk ❌ TD WEAK (<50): Cut size in half or skip 🤖 HIGH ENSEMBLE CONFIDENCE (80+): Increase size by 10-20% | ⚠️ MTF DIVERGENT (bullish): Reduce size 20-30%
📋 RATIONALE: Counter-trend — keep size conservative, trail stop to breakeven at T1
📏 STOP DISTANCE: $468 (0.9x ATR)
Marginal edge setup — market is range-bound with sell-side volume dominant. NOTE: TD Sell count 5/9 opposes this direction — higher risk. Caution: T1 R:R < 1.0 — requires tight management and quick partial profits. RSI at 63 (neutral), MACD bullish cross active.

Understanding TD Sequential Analysis
TD Sequential is a technical analysis methodology developed by Tom DeMark in the 1970s and widely adopted by institutional traders and hedge funds worldwide. The system identifies potential price exhaustion points by counting consecutive price bars that each close higher or lower than the close four bars prior — a mathematically precise way to measure the buildup and depletion of directional momentum.
The core of TD Sequential is the Setup phase: nine consecutive candles where each close exceeds (or falls below) the close from four periods earlier. When this count completes at 9, it signals that the prevailing trend may be exhausting its momentum. A completed nine-count is not automatically a reversal signal, but it marks a zone of elevated caution and potential inflection where the probability of a directional pause or reversal increases meaningfully.
In Bitcoin's highly liquid 24/7 market, TD Sequential proves particularly effective because it adapts to any timeframe and captures the natural rhythm of crowd psychology — the gradual buildup of one-sided conviction that eventually exhausts itself and reverses. The 1H timeframe used by this engine provides sufficient granularity to identify intraday setups while filtering out micro-noise from tick-level volatility.
Sell Setup — Count 1 to 9
A Sell Setup forms when each of nine consecutive one-hour closes is higher than the close four bars prior. This systematic momentum buildup signals that buyers may be overextended. A completed count of 9 raises the probability of a pullback or consolidation phase. The current count and associated TD risk level are displayed in the TD Sequential Readings panel above.
Buy Setup — Count 1 to 9
A Buy Setup forms when each of nine consecutive one-hour closes is lower than the close four bars prior, indicating that sellers may be exhausting downward momentum. A completed count of 9 signals a potential floor and raises the probability of a recovery bounce. The engine monitors both Sell and Buy setups simultaneously across the 1H, 4H, and daily timeframes.
How the 12-Hour Bitcoin Probability Forecast Works
The 12-hour probability forecast displayed on this page is the output of a weighted ensemble model that aggregates signals from 33 independent technical indicators. Each indicator contributes a directional vote — bullish, bearish, or neutral — which is then weighted according to its statistical reliability under the current market regime (trending or ranging) and volatility state (high, normal, or compressed).
The model uses market regime detection to adjust indicator weights dynamically. In a strongly trending Bitcoin market, momentum indicators such as MACD and EMA crossovers receive higher weight. In a ranging or consolidating market, mean-reversion indicators including RSI and Bollinger Band position receive higher weight. This adaptive weighting approach improves forecast accuracy compared to a static fixed-weight model that ignores market context.
Multi-timeframe consensus is also factored into the final output. If the 1H, 4H, and 1D timeframes are all aligned in the same direction, confidence in the forecast increases substantially. If timeframes diverge, the engine flags this mixed signal and reduces the confidence rating accordingly. The resulting probability is displayed as a directional percentage split between downside and upside scenarios for the next 12 hours.
33 Indicators Analyzed
The engine evaluates TD Sequential, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku Cloud, EMA 9/21, SMA 20/50, VWAP, ATR, Supertrend, ADX, Parabolic SAR, Fibonacci Levels, Pivot Points, OBV, MFI, CMF, CCI, Williams %R, Elder Ray, Aroon, Vortex, Keltner Channel, Donchian Channel, Mass Index, ROC, KST, TRIX, Awesome Oscillator, and DMI — 33 independent lenses on price action.
Data Source & Update Frequency
All price data is sourced directly from Binance via their public market data API. The analysis uses the 72 most recent 1-hour candles, providing approximately three days of granular price history. The engine re-runs automatically on each new hourly candle close, ensuring the analysis always reflects the most current Bitcoin market conditions without manual intervention.
Guide to Bitcoin Technical Indicators
Technical analysis applied to Bitcoin uses the same mathematical foundations as traditional financial markets, but Bitcoin's 24/7 continuous trading cycle and characteristically higher volatility make certain indicators especially effective. The following is a concise reference guide to the most important signals and sections displayed on this page.
Moving Averages — SMA & EMA
The Simple Moving Average (SMA-20, SMA-50) smooths price data over 20 and 50 periods to reveal underlying trend direction by eliminating short-term noise. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA-9, EMA-21) weights recent closes more heavily, making it more responsive to current price action. When Bitcoin's price trades above a moving average, it signals bullish momentum relative to that timeframe. A bullish EMA crossover — the faster EMA crossing above the slower EMA — is a widely used trend continuation signal. The moving averages are displayed directly on the interactive candlestick chart above.
RSI — Relative Strength Index
The 14-period RSI measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a 0-to-100 scale. Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions where a pullback may become probable; readings below 30 indicate oversold conditions where a relief bounce is more likely. In strong Bitcoin bull markets, RSI can remain elevated for extended periods, so this indicator performs best when combined with trend context and confirmation from complementary signals. RSI divergence — where the indicator moves in the opposite direction to price — is among the most reliable early warnings of a potential trend reversal.
Bollinger Bands & Volatility
Bollinger Bands consist of a 20-period SMA with upper and lower bands set two standard deviations above and below the midline. When Bitcoin's price touches the upper band, the market is trading at an extreme relative to recent volatility — a potential exhaustion signal in a ranging market. Band contraction (a Bollinger squeeze) indicates that volatility is compressing, which frequently precedes a major directional breakout. Band expansion signals that volatility has returned and the current move has momentum behind it.
Ichimoku Cloud
The Ichimoku Cloud provides a comprehensive view of support, resistance, momentum, and trend direction within a single integrated indicator framework. Price trading above the cloud is considered bullish; below the cloud is bearish. The cloud itself serves as a dynamic support and resistance zone. The Kijun-sen (base line) and Tenkan-sen (conversion line) crossovers generate entry and exit signals, while the Chikou span (lagging span) confirms trend direction by comparing current price against historical price action from 26 periods prior.
VWAP — Volume Weighted Average Price
VWAP represents the average Bitcoin price weighted by trading volume over the session period. Institutional and professional traders use VWAP as a key benchmark — price above VWAP indicates bullish intraday bias with buyers in control, while price below VWAP suggests that sellers have the advantage. Bitcoin's VWAP is recalculated daily and serves as a critical reference level for large participants executing significant orders in the market.
MACD — Moving Average Convergence Divergence
MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two exponential moving averages — the 12-period and 26-period EMAs. The MACD line is the difference between these two EMAs. The signal line is a 9-period EMA of the MACD line. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it generates a bullish crossover, suggesting that upward momentum is building. A bearish crossover — MACD line falling below the signal line — indicates that selling pressure is increasing. The histogram, which plots the difference between the MACD and signal lines, gives a visual representation of the strength and direction of momentum. MACD divergence between price and the histogram is one of the most powerful reversal warning signals available.
ADX — Average Directional Index
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend regardless of its direction. Values below 20 indicate a ranging, trendless market where directional indicators produce unreliable signals. Values above 25 confirm a developing trend, and readings above 40 signal a powerful directional move. ADX is calculated from the positive and negative directional movement indicators (+DI and -DI). When +DI is above -DI and ADX is rising, a bullish trend is strengthening. When -DI is above +DI and ADX is rising, a bearish trend is dominant. This engine uses ADX to apply a regime-dampening effect: in weak-trend markets, the overall probability score is reduced to prevent overconfident readings from trending indicators.
ATR — Average True Range
ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average range of price movement over 14 periods, accounting for gaps. It does not indicate direction — only the magnitude of price swings. In practical trading, ATR is indispensable for position sizing and stop-loss placement. A stop set at 1.0×ATR below entry gives the trade room to breathe through normal hourly noise while protecting capital from genuine adverse moves. In high-volatility conditions (when ATR is large relative to historical norms), experienced traders reduce position size proportionally to keep per-trade dollar risk constant. All stop-loss levels on this page are calculated as multiples of the current ATR.
Fibonacci Retracement
Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal price zones derived from the key ratios of the Fibonacci sequence: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. These levels represent areas where price commonly pauses or reverses after a significant swing move. In Bitcoin trading, the 38.2% and 61.8% levels attract the most institutional attention as they mark the shallow and deep correction zones of a prior impulse wave. The 50% level, while not a true Fibonacci ratio, is widely watched as a psychological midpoint. Confluence between a Fibonacci level and another indicator — such as a moving average or Bollinger Band — creates a high-probability support or resistance zone.
Supertrend & Parabolic SAR
Supertrend is an ATR-based trend-following indicator that plots above price in a downtrend (acting as resistance) and below price in an uptrend (acting as trailing support). A flip in the Supertrend direction is a reliable momentum shift signal. Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) similarly generates trailing stop levels that accelerate as a trend matures, eventually flipping side when momentum exhausts. Both indicators excel in trending markets but generate excessive false signals in sideways conditions, which is why this engine cross-validates them with ADX trend strength before including them in the probability calculation.
Frequently Asked Questions — Bitcoin Technical Analysis
What is TD Sequential and why is it used for Bitcoin analysis?
TD Sequential, developed by Tom DeMark, identifies momentum exhaustion by counting consecutive closes higher or lower than the close four bars prior. A count of 9 signals that the trend has been running long enough to become statistically vulnerable to reversal or consolidation. It is particularly well-suited to Bitcoin because BTC trades continuously 24/7 — unlike equities with overnight gaps — and because retail-driven crowd psychology in crypto tends to create the kind of extended, parabolic moves that TD Sequential was designed to detect. A completed 9-count does not guarantee reversal; it marks a zone of caution where risk management and position sizing become paramount.
How reliable is the 12-hour probability forecast?
The 12-hour forecast is a quantitative probability estimate derived from 33 technical indicators applied to 72 hourly candles. It reflects the statistical edge that current market structure provides — not a certainty. When the forecast reads 65% downside, it means that the weight of evidence from trend, momentum, volume, and volatility indicators collectively leans bearish. It does not mean price will fall 65% of the time with certainty; markets are inherently probabilistic. The Prediction Scorecard on this page tracks every forecast against actual outcomes so you can evaluate the model's historical accuracy over time.
What does the signal consensus bar show?
The signal consensus bar shows what percentage of the 33 computed indicators are currently reading bearish (red), neutral (blue), or bullish (green). When 70% or more of indicators align in one direction, the engine labels the signal strength as VERY STRONG and applies a higher confidence multiplier to the probability output. In mixed markets where signals disagree (40–55% dominant direction), the engine recognizes genuine uncertainty and keeps the probability closer to 50/50, which is the honest reading when no clear edge exists.
What is the difference between the SHORT and LONG trading plans?
Both plans are generated simultaneously for every analysis cycle, regardless of which direction the model favors. The SHORT plan provides a structure for traders expecting price to fall: entry zone at a resistance level, stop above that resistance, and three downside targets. The LONG plan mirrors this for traders expecting price to rise. The plan labeled PRIMARY has the higher probability behind it; the COUNTER-TREND plan is available for traders who have a different view. Always check the TD Signal section inside each plan — it flags when a setup is counter to the TD Sequential count, which significantly increases the risk of that trade.
How are stop-loss levels calculated?
Stop-loss levels are computed using a priority hierarchy. First, the engine looks for structural anchors: the 24-hour high/low, Bollinger Band extremes, TD risk level, VWAP, Ichimoku cloud boundaries, pivot points, and Fibonacci levels that sit beyond the entry zone. A small ATR-based buffer is added beyond the structural level to absorb normal price noise. If no structural anchor exists on the relevant side of the entry, an ATR-fallback stop is used at 1.5–2.5×ATR. All stops are expressed in dollar terms and as a multiple of ATR so traders can scale position size proportionally to maintain consistent per-trade risk.
What does the Prediction Scorecard measure?
The scorecard tracks every hourly forecast against actual Bitcoin prices at 4, 8, and 12 hours after generation. A prediction is marked CORRECT if price moved in the forecast direction by the 12-hour window. Target outcomes (T1, T2, T3) are validated independently — T1 HIT means the first take-profit level was reached without the stop-loss triggering first, which represents a successful trade execution. The accumulated pip return column shows the theoretical dollar gain or loss per Bitcoin if each plan had been executed, providing a real-world measure of strategy profitability over time.
How does the market regime affect the analysis?
Market regime detection identifies whether Bitcoin is currently in a trending or ranging environment, and whether volatility is elevated, normal, or compressed. This matters because trend-following indicators (MACD, EMA crossovers, Supertrend) are highly reliable in trending markets but produce noise in sideways conditions. Conversely, mean-reversion indicators (RSI, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic) perform better in ranging environments. When ADX is below 20, the engine dampens the overall probability score by 25–45% to reflect the reduced reliability of directional signals, preventing overconfident forecasts in choppy markets.
What does the plan expiry countdown mean?
Every trading plan includes a validity window calculated from the current TD Sequential count and setup quality. A plan for a TD count-9 setup expires in approximately 4 hours because the reversal window is open right now and needs immediate action or abandonment. A plan for a count-5 setup has an 11-hour window because there are still 4 more bars needed before completion. When a plan expires, do not force the trade — re-run the analysis, check if the TD count has reset, and generate a fresh plan. Plans should also be abandoned immediately if the stop-loss level is hit before expiry.
Why does the probability sometimes sit close to 50%?
A reading near 50/50 is the model's honest signal that current market conditions are genuinely ambiguous. This typically occurs when ADX is low (no clear trend), when indicators are divided between bullish and bearish readings, or when the Bollinger Bands are in a tight squeeze before a breakout. Rather than forcing a directional bias, the engine intentionally leaves the probability near 50% in these cases. Experienced traders treat a 50/50 reading as a signal to reduce position size, widen stops, or wait for clearer confirmation before committing capital.
Is this analysis suitable for all types of Bitcoin traders?
BITCOINTODAY is designed primarily for active intraday and swing traders who work with the 1-hour timeframe and 12-hour holding periods. The indicators, stop distances, and targets are calibrated for this timeframe. Long-term investors (hodlers) will find the probability forecasts too short-horizon for their strategy. Scalpers working sub-5-minute charts may find 1H signals too slow. The sweet spot is a trader who enters on confirmed 1H candle closes, holds for 4–12 hours, and uses structured risk management with defined stops and take-profit levels.
Risk Management for Bitcoin Traders
Risk management is the foundation of long-term profitability in cryptocurrency trading. Bitcoin's exceptional volatility — which creates opportunities for outsized gains — equally creates the potential for rapid, catastrophic losses if position sizing and stop-loss discipline are absent. Professional traders do not measure success by individual trade outcomes; they measure it by consistent adherence to a risk framework that keeps losses small and lets winners run.
The 1–2% Rule: Protecting Capital
The most widely accepted rule in professional trading is to risk no more than 1–2% of total trading capital on any single trade. This means that the dollar distance between your entry price and stop-loss, multiplied by your position size, should not exceed 1–2% of your account. At this risk level, you can sustain 20–50 consecutive losing trades before losing 20% of your account — providing ample time to adjust your strategy if the market environment changes. Many successful traders use 0.5% risk per trade during periods of uncertainty and scale up to 2% only on their highest-conviction setups (TD count 8-9 with multiple confirming indicators).
Position Sizing — The Formula
Calculate position size using: Position Size = (Account Size × Risk %) ÷ Stop Distance. For example, a $10,000 account risking 1% per trade with a $500 stop distance yields a position size of $10,000 × 1% ÷ $500 = 0.02 BTC. This formula ensures that regardless of how far your stop is placed, your maximum loss per trade is capped at the predetermined risk percentage. Never increase position size to compensate for a wide stop — instead, find a better entry with a tighter natural stop.
Stop-Loss Placement Best Practices
Effective stop-loss placement is an art informed by structure, not arbitrary dollar amounts. The best stops are placed just beyond a level that, if breached, genuinely invalidates the trade thesis. For a short trade, the stop should sit just above the nearest structural resistance — the 24-hour high, a Bollinger Band upper, or the TD risk level — because if price trades above that level, the bearish setup has failed. For a long trade, the stop belongs below the nearest structural support. Avoid round-number stops ($100 or $500 from entry) as these are often targeted by market makers and algorithmic traders who know retail stop clusters.
Take-Profit Strategy — The 40/30/30 Approach
Rather than exiting a winning trade entirely at the first target, experienced traders use a scaled exit strategy. The recommended approach: take 40% of the position at T1 (locks in profit and reduces emotional pressure), take 30% at T2 (captures the middle of the move), and let the remaining 30% run toward T3 using a trailing stop. This approach maximizes gains on the rare high-quality setups that reach full extension, while still locking in meaningful profit even when the move falls short of the final target. After T1 is hit, move the stop to breakeven on the remaining position — this creates a risk-free trade that can only make additional profit.
| Risk Parameter | Guideline | Rationale |
|---|
| Max risk per trade | 1–2% of capital | Sustainable drawdown management across a series of trades |
| Minimum stop distance | 1.0×ATR below entry | Avoids stop-outs from normal hourly Bitcoin volatility |
| Minimum reward:risk | 1.5:1 at T1 | Maintains positive expected value even with 40% win rate |
| T1 exit size | 40% of position | Locks profit, reduces stress, funds remaining risk-free position |
| Breakeven stop trigger | After T1 hit | Converts winning trade into risk-free position immediately |
| Max concurrent positions | 3–5 open trades | Prevents overexposure to correlated Bitcoin moves |
| Daily loss limit | 3–5% of capital | Hard stop on bad trading days to preserve psychological capital |
Bitcoin Market Cycles and Price Psychology
Understanding Bitcoin's cyclical behavior is fundamental to interpreting technical signals correctly. BTC has historically followed a four-year cycle loosely anchored to the Bitcoin halving event — the scheduled reduction in new Bitcoin supply that occurs approximately every four years. While each cycle has unique characteristics, certain behavioral patterns repeat with enough regularity to inform a probabilistic trading framework.
The Four Phases of Bitcoin's Market Cycle
Every Bitcoin market cycle moves through four broad phases: Accumulation — a period of low volatility after a prolonged bear market where smart money quietly builds positions while sentiment remains deeply pessimistic; Expansion — a trending bull market where price makes progressively higher highs and corrections are shallow, volume increases, and mainstream media attention grows; Distribution — a period of elevated volatility near cycle peaks where long-term holders sell into retail demand, price action becomes choppy, and divergences between price and momentum indicators become pronounced; and Capitulation — a rapid, high-volume decline where late buyers are flushed out and sentiment reaches maximum fear, eventually creating the conditions for a new accumulation phase.
How Crowd Psychology Creates Tradeable Patterns
The patterns that technical indicators detect are ultimately reflections of human psychology operating at scale. RSI overbought readings above 70 occur because human greed causes buyers to chase momentum, pushing price to unsustainable extremes relative to recent history. RSI oversold readings below 30 occur because fear and panic cause sellers to liquidate indiscriminately, pushing price below its fundamental value relative to recent price action. TD Sequential's nine-count captures the exhaustion of this one-sided psychology — the point at which the last motivated buyer or seller has entered the market and marginal pressure tips the other direction.
Volume Analysis — The Confirmation Principle
In Bitcoin markets, price moves are most reliable when confirmed by volume. A price breakout to a new high accompanied by expanding volume indicates genuine institutional and retail participation — a move likely to continue. A price breakout accompanied by declining volume (divergence) suggests the move may be a false breakout with limited follow-through. The OBV (On-Balance Volume) and CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) indicators on this page track the cumulative direction of volume to determine whether money is systematically flowing into or out of Bitcoin. When price trends up but volume indicators trend down, the divergence signals caution; when both trend in the same direction, it confirms the move.
Support and Resistance — Why Levels Work
Support and resistance levels are not arbitrary — they represent prices where a significant number of traders previously made decisions to buy or sell. Those traders remember those prices and react again when price returns to the same level. A previous resistance level, once broken, often becomes new support (a phenomenon called role reversal) because traders who sold at that level regret missing the move and buy on the pullback, creating demand at the same price. The confluence of multiple support/resistance mechanisms at a single price level — where a round number, a Fibonacci retracement, a moving average, and a pivot point all align — creates a high-probability bounce or rejection zone that institutional algorithms are programmed to monitor.
How to Read and Use This Bitcoin Analysis Report
This report is designed to be read in a specific order that builds from market context to actionable trade plans. Here is a step-by-step guide to extracting maximum value from each section.
Step 1 — Assess the Overall Market State
Start with the Signal Consensus Bar in the probability section. If 65% or more of signals align in one direction, the market has a clear short-term bias. If the bar shows roughly equal distribution between bearish and bullish (45–55% each), treat the market as uncertain and reduce or skip position size. Check the ADX reading in the Trend & Momentum card — above 25 confirms you are in a trending market where trend-following signals are reliable.
Step 2 — Check the TD Sequential Count
The TD Sequential Readings card is the highest-priority signal on this page. A count of 7, 8, or 9 is an actionable signal. A count of 1-4 is an informational note — the setup is building but not yet at the high-probability exhaustion zone. If no active setup is present, the page will show "No Active Setup" and the analysis defaults to the ensemble of other indicators without TD Sequential amplification. Always note the TD Risk Level — this is the price that would invalidate the setup and serves as the natural stop-loss anchor for the primary plan.
Step 3 — Read the Trading Plan for Your Direction
Select the plan that matches your directional bias. Read the TD Signal section carefully — it will explicitly tell you whether the trade is aligned or counter-trend to the TD setup, and provide a quality score from 0 to 100. A quality score of 70 or above with a reward-to-risk ratio of 1.5:1 or better is the threshold for full-size position entry per the plan's position sizing guidance. Below 70, reduce size. Below 50, treat the setup as marginal and either skip it or use a micro-size exploratory position.
Step 4 — Verify Entry and Monitor the Expiry Clock
Do not enter a trade at market. Wait for price to actually reach the defined entry zone, and then wait for a confirmed 1-hour candle close within that zone — not just a wick touch. The plan expiry countdown tells you how long the setup remains valid. If the expiry clock reaches zero before price enters the zone, do not chase — the market structure has changed enough that a new analysis is needed. If price enters the zone and then immediately reverses hard (a failed entry), close the position at the stop immediately without hesitation.
Step 5 — Manage the Position Using the Trailing Stop Protocol
The Trailing Stop row in each plan provides a four-phase management protocol. Phase 1: hold the initial stop until price moves 1×ATR in your favor. Phase 2: move stop to breakeven (entry midpoint) — your position is now risk-free. Phase 3: after T1 is hit, activate the trailing stop at the specified ATR multiple above/below price. Phase 4: after T2 is hit, tighten the trail further to maximize profit capture on the run to T3. This mechanical protocol removes emotion from stop management and ensures consistent execution across many trades.
Green Flags — High Quality Setup
TD count 7–9 · ADX above 25 · 65%+ signal consensus · Volume confirming direction · RSI divergence present · Multiple MTF timeframes aligned · T1 R:R at least 1.5:1 · TD quality score 70+
Red Flags — Avoid or Reduce Size
ADX below 15 (choppy market) · TD count resets frequently · Signal consensus below 50% · Volume divergence present · Counter-trend to dominant TD setup · T1 R:R below 1.0:1 · Bollinger squeeze with no breakout direction
