Seven-step institutional-grade analysis pipeline — from market pulse to final verdict, with composite scoring and risk-weighted synthesis.
A 7-step audit of a SOLUSDT 4H long setup.
Asset Scanner (8.5), Timing (9.0), and Trade Plan (9.5) all score high. SOLUSDT shows bullish structure: RSI 65, MACD positive +0.71, trend strength 78%. Planned R:R 3.7 with 75% win rate (netEV +2.45R).
Market Pulse (6.2) and Safety Check (5.5) sit in caution range. Fear & Greed at 21 (extreme fear), market regime RISK-OFF, historical volatility 45%. These weaken confidence despite the technical edge.
Bull trap pattern detected at $113.86. Fakeout risk HIGH, trap risk SEVERE, liquidity grab detected. Final verdict: AVOID. Wait for volume confirmation after breakout before reconsidering.
Technically strong, strategically compromised. The setup passes 5 of 7 gates but trap manipulation and risk-off macro environment trigger blocking rules. Recommended action: stand down until S6 clears.
Is the broader market suitable for trading right now?
BTC trend strength, total MCap momentum, Fear & Greed, major coin correlation matrix, long/short ratio. Is the market risk-on or risk-off?
Market is in extreme fear mode. BTC dominance 57.0% (stable). Overall trend is bullish, strength 78%. Funding rate 0.0033%, L/S ratio 0.74. Contrarian setup: fear + bullish structure = asymmetric opportunity, but risk-off regime caps position size.
Does the individual asset present a clean technical setup?
24h/7D/30D price performance, volume profile, MCap ranking change, exchange listing count, on-chain active addresses, whale transactions.
SOLUSDT is above both MA50 ($97.58) and MA200 ($102.44), confirming uptrend. RSI at 65 (bullish without being overbought). MACD positive and rising. Price sits between BB mid and upper, room to extend. Setup quality: high.
Can the asset be traded without liquidity, contract, or regulatory risk?
Liquidity depth (order book), slippage estimate, ATR volatility, delisting risk, smart contract risk score, regulatory flags.
Liquidity score 81.3 and tight spread 0.01% confirm institutional-grade execution. Historical volatility 45% elevates risk level to MEDIUM. Relative volume 0.3× below average — caution on position sizing. Smart money positioned LONG (85% conf.).
Is this the right moment? Multi-timeframe alignment, key levels, momentum.
Multi-timeframe trend (4H/1D/1W alignment), key S/R levels, Fibonacci retracement/extension, momentum divergence, volume climax/dry-up.
At-support bullish signal with 5 of 8 timing conditions met. Optimal entry marked at $111.52, current price $112.05 — 0.5% premium to ideal zone. Bollinger middle not reclaimed, reducing confidence. Fib retracement shallow (0.3%), MACD histogram positive. Urgency: IMMEDIATE.
Where exactly to enter, exit, and size the position.
Entry price/zone, Stop-Loss (ATR-based or structural), TP1/TP2, position size (risk %), R:R ratio, trade type.
Asymmetric long setup: entry $112.05, stop $107.07 (−4.4%), TP1 $127.74 (+14%), TP2 $134.46 (+20%). R:R = 3.69 with 75% estimated win rate → netEV +2.45R. Position size 16.9% of portfolio, risk $75. Plan quality: excellent.
Is this a real breakout or a manipulation trap?
Bull/bear trap patterns, whale manipulation (spoofing, wash trading), funding rate extremes, OI divergence, liquidation cluster levels.
Bull trap detected at $113.86 with HIGH fakeout risk and SEVERE trap risk. Liquidity grab pattern identified, targeting stops clustered at $109.81 and $106.45 ($4.5M combined). Breakout lacks volume conviction — smart money likely setting long traps before reversal.
Six-step synthesis into a binding decision.
Weighted synthesis of previous 6 steps. Verdict: GO / NO-GO / WAIT. Confidence score (0–100%), risk level, brief rationale.
Composite score 3.6/10, confidence 58%. Technical structure (S2, S4, S5) scores high but trap check (2.3) and risk-off macro drag composite below GO threshold (7.0). Verdict: AVOID. Re-evaluate after S6 clears and volume confirms.
How each step scores and how scores are combined.
Each step produces a score in the range 0.0–10.0. Scores are derived from weighted sub-metrics specific to the step. Thresholds: PASS (≥6.0), CAUTION (4.0–5.9), BLOCK (<4.0).
