Flat (PnL −$23.23). SOL held above 76 (00:00 low 76.9, never reached my 76.0–76.4 retest) and continued to new highs 78.96, now ~78.66. Strong uptrend (64→78.96 = +23%). But the deep retest didn't come, and 78.66 is near the high, extended, with sell-leaning flow creeping in (03:00 0.42 on 190k, 04:00 0.27) = distribution at highs. Chasing the top of a +23% run is the extended-chase my rules forbid. I've under-participated (4h cadence keeps missing entries between checks) but chasing isn't the fix. Decision: HOLD/flat. (A) pullback to 77.0–77.5 that HOLDS with buy flow → long, stop <76.5, target 79/80 (late-fill-safe); (B) 1h close >79 with buy flow → momentum long to new highs. Invalidation: 1h close <77.0.

Flat (PnL −$23.23). SOL BROKE OUT to new highs: the coil resolved up through 76 (trigger C, 13:00 closed 76.04), ran to 78.25 — a full breakout above the entire 64–76 range, the most bullish structure of the session. It fired and ran between my 4h cycles again. Now pulling back to ~76.92 with sell-leaning flow (18:00 0.42, 19:00 0.39), heading toward the 76 broken-ceiling-now-support. This sets up a high-probability breakout-RETEST long — but at 76.92 mid-pullback with sell flow, the retest isn't confirmed. Decision: HOLD/flat, primed. Re-engage: (A) a pullback to 76.0–76.4 (retest of the broken ceiling) that HOLDS with buy flow → continuation long, stop <75.5, target 78/79 (well-located, with-trend, late-fill-safe); (B) a 1h close >78.3 with buy flow → momentum-continuation long to new highs. Won't chase 76.9 mid-pullback. Invalidation: 1h close <75.5 → breakout failing, back into the range.

Flat (PnL −$23.23). SOL is coiling tightly under the 75.5–76 major ceiling — chopping 74–75.8 for hours, repeatedly capped at 75.5–75.8, holding above 74 (dipped 73.96, recovered), now 74.94. Flow is persistently balanced/sell-leaning (08:00–11:00 ~0.48–0.49) while price holds = absorption, ambiguous (buyers absorbing vs exhausted at resistance). This is a 3rd+ test of the ceiling — a compression that will expand. Price at 74.94 is mid-coil with no clean trigger (76 not broken; not in the 74–74.5 pullback zone with a hold). Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage on the resolution: (C) 1h close >76 with buy flow → blue-sky breakout long toward new highs (high conviction — multiple tests building energy); (A) pullback to 74–74.5 that holds with buy flow → continuation long, stop <73.5 (better location, late-fill-safe). Won't chase mid-coil. Invalidation: 1h close <73.9 → back into the 73–74 range.

Flat (PnL −$23.23). SOL held the 73–73.8 support and broke out, running 73→75.69 (+3.7%), now 75.53 — back at the major 75.5–76 resistance (2nd test; it spiked to 76.49 and rejected before). The support-hold breakout entry fired between my 4h cycles again. The 03:00 close cleared 75 but on mixed flow (0.48). Buying 75.53 here is chasing a +3.7% run straight into the ceiling — the into-resistance chase I lose on (#5) — and with execution firing hours late (my new lesson) it could fill even higher or after a rejection. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (C) a 1h close >76 with buy flow → blue-sky breakout long toward new highs (2nd tests of resistance often break; high-conviction); (A) a pullback to 74–74.5 (breakout level) that holds with buy flow → continuation long, stop <73.5 (better location, late-fill-safe). Won't chase 75.5 into resistance. Invalidation: 1h close <73.5 → back into the 73–74 range.

Flat (PnL −$23.23). After spiking to 76.49, SOL pulled back and is consolidating 72.6–74.1, now 73.70 — in my 73.5–73.8 support zone, but flow is mixed/sell-leaning (17:00 0.47, 18:00 0.41, 19:00 0.55) and price drifted DOWN into the zone rather than bouncing with buy flow. Per my loss #6 flow-filter lesson I won't buy drifting support on unconfirmed flow, and R:R here is mediocre (wide stop below the 72.6–74.1 consolidation, small reward to 74.1). The recovery uptrend (from 64, broke the 76 ceiling) is intact above ~72. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) buy-flow-confirmed hold at 73–73.8 (a green bar, ratio >0.55) → long, stop <72.5, target 75/76; (B) a dip to 72.6–73.0 that holds with buy flow → long (better location, late-fill-safe); (C) 1h close >74.1 with buy flow → mini-breakout, >75 → bigger. Invalidation: 1h close <72.5 → deeper pullback toward 71.

Flat (PnL −$23.23; last trade banked +$1.32). SOL recovered all the way to 76.49 (Jun 29 — a new high above the prior 76 ceiling), then pulled back to ~74 and is consolidating 73.7–74.9 with buy flow returning (05:00 0.59, 06:00 0.55, 07:00 0.59). Bullish that the major 75.5–76 ceiling broke, but price at 74.12 is mid-consolidation — no clean location. Also just logged a hard lesson: execute_trade can fire hours late at a ~3% different price (my 72.82 breakout-buy filled at 70.48), so I avoid mid-range/breakout-chase entries in this unreliable-execution environment. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 73.5–73.8 (consolidation support) that HOLDS with buy flow → continuation long toward 75/76 (good location, late-fill-safe); (B) 1h close >75 with buy flow → breakout-continuation long toward 76+/new highs. Invalidation: 1h close <73.5 → deeper pullback toward 72.5.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). SOL rallied off 64 to 73.93, then pulled back to 71.41 and is holding ~71.9 with buy flow just returning (23:00 0.59 after sell-leaning 20:00–22:00 ~0.48). This is a pullback-hold in the up-leg, near my 70.5–71 buy zone and below the 72.3–73 resistance — close to trigger A. But it's only one buy-flow bar in after a sell drift, which is exactly the thin-confirmation entry my loss #6 lesson says to avoid (require flow to HOLD, not a single bar). Decision: HOLD/flat, primed. Take a small continuation long if the buy flow HOLDS at 71–71.5 next read (a second confirming bar) OR a 1h close back >72.3 with buy flow → stop <71.0, target 73/73.9. A deeper dip to 70.5–71 that holds with buy flow is also a buy (better location). Invalidation: 1h close <71.0 → pullback deepens toward 70/69, stand aside. Respecting lesson #6: no buying on thin confirmation right after taking that loss.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). The bottoming reclaim I was waiting for CONFIRMED and ripped: SOL reclaimed 68, held the retest at 68.4 (08:00–11:00), then rallied 68.6→72.99 (+13% off the 64.04 low) on heavy volume, buy flow positive (15:00 0.55). The clean retest-hold entry fired between my 4h cycles again (chronic cadence miss). Now 72.85, back at the 72.3–73 resistance (the Jun 22–23 breakdown origin), with the major 75–76 ceiling above — chasing a +13% move into resistance is the late/into-resistance pattern I lose on (#5/#6). Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 70.5–71 (reclaimed breakout level) that HOLDS with buy flow → continuation long, stop <70.0, target 73/75 (good R:R); (B) a confirmed 1h close >73 that holds with buy flow → momentum long toward 75 (smaller, into resistance). No chase at 72.85. Discipline note: my cadence keeps missing clean retest entries, but chasing loses money — staying selective preserves capital.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). SOL is attempting to bottom after the 64.04 flush: higher low at 65.91 (>64.04) and the 03:00 bar closed 68.21 — first 1h close back above the 68 pivot — on 273k vol, buy 0.55 (tentative trigger C). But it's not confirmed: the 04:00 forming bar is selling (0.19), 68–68.8 has been resistance (23:00 rejected from 68.81), and we're in a high-vol downtrend where my rule says no new entries and my loss #6 lesson says require flow to HOLD, not a single bar. Decision: HOLD/flat, primed. Take a small trend-change long ONLY if the reclaim HOLDS — a 1h close >68.2 with buy flow that stays above 68 next read (not immediately rejected), stop <66.8, target 69/70. If it rejects back <67 → reclaim failed, downtrend continues, stay flat. Capital preservation through the 75→64 collapse has been the win; I re-engage only on a confirmed bottom.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). SOL flushed to a new low 64.04 (13:00, 570k vol) then bounced hard to 67.24 (14:00, 606k vol, buy 0.55), now ~66.37. This is a confirmed high-volatility downtrend: lower highs (75→70→69.7), lower lows (67.9→64.71→64.04), with repeated violent 4–5% capitulation-and-bounce swings. Price 66.37 is mid-bounce (+2.3 off the low) with no clean location. Per my "high-vol = no new entries" rule and my chase/short lessons, I stand aside: no long (chasing a mid-bounce in a downtrend), no short (poor short record + violent bounces can run me over). Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage on a clean setup: (A) a retest of 64.0–64.5 that HOLDS with buy flow → capitulation-reversal long at the level (like Jun 19), stop <63.5; (B) a failed retest of 68–69 with sell flow → small with-trend short; (C) a 1h reclaim >68 with buy flow → trend-change long. Wait for the volatility to give a defined edge.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). The bounce off 64.71 stalled at the broken 68 base — SOL hit 68.55 then consolidated 67.4–68.3 just under 68, now 67.71, flow fading to balanced/sell (01:00 0.61 → 02:00 0.50 → 03:00 0.48). Structure is bearish (lower high 75, lower low 64.71); the bounce is failing at broken-base resistance. But price is mid-consolidation with support (66.5/64.7) close below, so no clean trade. No long (under resistance in a downtrend). No anticipatory short (my short record is poor; support is near). Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: long on a 66.5–67 hold with buy flow OR a 1h reclaim >68.5 with buy flow → toward 70. Small with-trend short ONLY on a 1h close <67.4 with sell flow >0.55 (failed-retest confirmed) → target 66.5/64.7, stop >68.2. Mid-range now = no edge; act on the resolution.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). The 68 base broke and SOL capitulated to 64.71 (16:00, 1.34M vol) — a new lower low — then reversed and bounced to ~68 on buy flow. My "1h close <68 = stand aside" invalidation kept me out of the 70→64.71 flush (good). Now 68.06, at the broken-base resistance after a +5% bounce off 64.71 = mid/late-bounce into resistance, the chase pattern I keep losing on (#5). Structure has turned bearish (lower high 75, lower low 64.71). No clean long (chasing into resistance), no clean short (against fresh bounce momentum). Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 66.5–67.0 that HOLDS with buy flow → long, stop <66.0, target 68.5/70; (B) 1h reclaim >70 with buy flow → recovery long. Bearish alt: a failed retest of 68–70 with sell flow could be a short (lower-conviction). Invalidation: 1h close <66 → bounce fails, toward 64/62, stand aside.

Flat (PnL −$24.55). SOL held the 68 major base and is now consolidating 68.8–70.4 under the 70.6 resistance (the broken breakout level). It dipped to 68.77 then spiked to 70.44 and faded to ~69.69 — mid-range chop, buy flow mixed (09:00 0.59, 10:00 0.47, 11:00 0.55). No clean trigger: it's mid-range, and 70.6 hasn't been reclaimed. After loss #6 (range-edge long that broke), I'm only taking clean, well-located setups — no mid-range chase, no revenge trade. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 68.5–69.0 that HOLDS with buy flow (a green bar / ratio >0.5, per my new flow-filter lesson) → long, stop <68.0, target 70.4/70.6; (B) 1h close >70.6 with buy flow → reversal/breakout long toward 71/72. Invalidation: 1h close <68.0 → 68 base breaks, downtrend extends to 67/66, stand aside.

Flat after cutting the range-low long (loss #6 ≈−$11; review done, strategy.md updated with buy-flow-filter + stop-slip + regime-gate lessons). PnL −$24.55. SOL's 68→75 recovery failed and flushed back to 68.16 — the 67.9–68.4 major support/double-bottom — and HELD, now recovering to 69.73 with buy flow returning (22:00 0.60, 00:00 0.71). This is the capitulation-reversal-at-base setup I won on, BUT I see it mid-bounce at 69.73 (~1.5 off the low); the clean base entry passed between cycles and chasing here repeats my loss #5 mistake. No revenge trade. HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 68.5–69.0 holds w/ buy flow → long, stop <68.0, target 70.6; (B) 1h reclaim >70.6 w/ buy flow → reversal long; (C) retest 68.0–68.4 holds w/ buy flow → long at base. Invalidation: 1h close <68.0 → base breaks, toward 67/66.

Took a small ~2% probe LONG (3 units @ 72.80). SOL rejected at 75 (14:00 tagged 75.00 → flushed to 73.19) and pulled back to the 72.45–72.72 support — the lower bound of the 72.3–75 range and my 72.0–72.6 buy zone, holding above the 72.31 prior low (higher-low structure in the recovery uptrend). I'm acting promptly in-zone per my committed fix, having missed this exact support bounce 2–3x to my 4h cadence. Caveat: flow is mildly sell-leaning (16:00–19:00 ~0.48), not a confirmed bounce — hence small size. R:R is good at the range low: stop 1h close <72.0 (hard 71.9, below the 72.31 low), targets 73.8/74.0 then the 74.5–75 range top (~3R). Plan: scale ≥50% at 73.8–74.0, runner to 74.5–75; bank fast if it stalls at resistance. Invalidation: 1h close <72.0 → range low breaks, small defined loss, watch 71/70.6. Add only on a 1h close >73.3 with buy flow (confirmed bounce).

Flat (PnL −$13.59). SOL round-tripped: the 72.31 pullback held the 72–72.5 support and bounced to 74.99 (marginally higher high than 74.68), then consolidated back to ~74.22 — the support-hold bounce fired between my 4h cycles again. The 11:00 bar absorbed heavy selling (250k vol, ratio 0.325) but held 74 (bullish-leaning tell). Structure is higher-low (72.31) + higher-high (74.99), but price is now ranging 72.3–75 under the major 75.5–76 ceiling, and 74.22 is back in the upper resistance zone I declined before (poor R:R, capped by the ceiling). Decision: HOLD/flat, no edge mid-range. Re-engage: (C) 1h close >76 with buy flow → conviction breakout long (blue-sky, recovers the highs); (A) a dip to 72.0–72.6 support — act PROMPTLY if price is in-zone with buy-flow stabilization (the bounce keeps firing between cycles), stop <71.6, target 73.5/74.5. Watch 75–76 for rejection (range top) vs breakout. Invalidation of the range-bull bias: 1h close <72.0.

Flat (PnL −$13.59). Last cycle's discipline paid: SOL REJECTED at 74.55 and dropped ~3% (74.55 → 72.31), so declining the marginal 74.4 breakout into the 75.5–76 ceiling avoided buying right before the drop. Price has now pulled back to the 72.5 breakout-level support (deeper than my 73.0–73.5 zone, which didn't hold), now ~72.48, but it's still falling with mixed/sell flow (23:00 0.43, new low 72.31) — no hold/bounce confirmation. The recovery uptrend structure is still intact while >70.6, so a hold here is a deeper breakout-retest buying chance — but I won't catch a falling knife / anticipate the hold (my loss pattern). Decision: HOLD/flat. Long trigger: 72.0–72.5 HOLDS with buy flow returning (a bounce / green 1h bar) → continuation long, stop <71.8, target 73.5/74.3. Stand-aside: 1h close <72.0 → deeper pullback, watch 70.6–71 for the next support test. Conviction long still on a 1h close >76 (blue sky).

Flat (PnL −$13.59). SOL broke above the 74.3–74.4 resistance: 16:00 closed 74.34 (tagged 74.68), holding 74.0–74.68, 19:00 closed 74.42 on buy flow 0.56 — so my trigger B (1h close >74.4) borderline-fired. I'm DECLINING it on R:R grounds: price is grinding into the MAJOR 75.5–76 ceiling (prior range top where the 76→68 breakdown began), the move is extended (+10% off 67.92 in 2.5 days), and the breakout is a slow grind with mixed/sell-leaning flow (17:00 0.43, 18:00 0.39) = weak quality. A long at 74.43 targets only ~75.5 (capped, ~1.6R) into a resistance likely to reject on the first test. Decision: HOLD/flat. Higher-quality re-engage: (C) a 1h close >76 with strong buy flow → conviction long (blue-sky, recovers the highs, room to run); (A) a pullback to 73.0–73.5 that holds with buy flow → continuation long with room. Watch 75.5–76 for rejection (recovery stalls) vs breakout. Invalidation of bullish structure: 1h close <73.5.

Flat (PnL −$13.59). The 73 absorption resolved UP: SOL surged to 74.05 (09:00), retested 73 (12:00 low 72.93, held), then buyers pushed it back to 74.13 with strong flow (14:00 0.62). It's now grinding right under the 74.3–74.4 resistance, which has rejected it 3x (74.30/74.40/74.29) — no confirmed 1h close above yet — with the MAJOR 75.5–76 ceiling beyond. Buying 74.13 here is into the rejection zone, capped by 75.5–76, so poor R:R near the ceiling; that's the buy-into-resistance pattern I avoid. No short either — the recovery uptrend is intact and buyers keep absorbing. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: (A) pullback to 73.0–73.3 (absorption shelf) that holds with buy flow → continuation long, stop <72.7; (B) 1h close >74.4 with buy flow → small momentum long toward 75.5; (C) 1h close >76 with buy flow → blue-sky breakout (recovers the highs), larger size justified. Invalidation: 1h close <72.9. Watch 75.5–76 for a rejection (possible short) or breakout.

Flat (PnL −$13.59). SOL is consolidating 73.0–73.86 under the 74.3 spike high, stalled after the breakout. The 07:00 bar absorbed heavy selling — 167k vol, taker ratio 0.22 (very sell-heavy, large avg trade 6.76) — yet price held 73.07–73.45 and closed 73.21. Heavy supply absorbed at 73 is a bullish-leaning tell, but current flow is sell-side (no buy-flow confirmation), and a long here still has poor R:R into the 74.3 then 75.5–76 ceiling. No short either: price is holding above the 72.5 breakout in a confirmed short-term uptrend, and the absorption shows buyers present. Decision: HOLD/flat. Re-engage: long on a 1h close >73.5 with buy flow (absorption resolves up) OR a 1h close >74.3 with buy flow → toward 75.5; alternatively a deeper pullback to 72.5–73.0 that holds with buy flow. Bearish tell: 1h close <72.9 (loses the 73 absorption shelf) with sell flow → breakout failing, stand aside / watch 72.5/72.0.
