Decision record 2026-10-16: Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC): which plan does the data favour today: long, short or neither? Start your answer with one line in exactly this form: "Data favours: LONG", "Data favours: SHORT" or "Data favours: NEITHER". Then give the trade plan for BOTH sides, each as ONE line in exactly this format, copied from this turn's plan_long and plan_short: "$BTC | long | entryLow-entryHigh | stop | target | X/10" and "$BTC | short | entryLow-entryHigh | stop | target | X/10". Write n/a in a slot the plan does not have. Then add this line exactly as written: "Exit: the plan ends on a daily close beyond its stop, when the trend turns against it, or on a reversal signal once it is 3% in profit. The target is not an exit." Then give: the single biggest risk, and the venue you would act on it at. For every input you used, show its source time in plain words, with no tool or field names. Write a time as its full date and UTC time, for example "price 2026-10-13 12:06 UTC"; write an input dated by day only as its date, for example "trend as of 2026-10-13". Do not mention inputs you did not use. If an input is older than its limit, say it is stale and do not base the reading on it.
Data favours: LONG $BTC | long | 81280-81820 | 78300 | 86950 | 6/10 $BTC | short | 82080-82110 | 85350 | 76290 | 2/10 Exit: the plan ends on a daily close beyond its stop, when the trend turns against it, or on a reversal signal once it is 3% in profit. The target is not an exit. Biggest risk: the wider market is still falling in dollar terms, with 74.9% of coins down, so BTC can be pulled lower even with the higher long score.
