ETH SHORT — $10,559 PROFIT | MNM PREMIUM EXECUTION

ETH SHORT — $10,559 PROFIT | MNM PREMIUM EXECUTION

HTF Narrative (4H → 1H Bias)

ETH pushed into a 4H premium zone, tapping directly into stacked supply after running the liquidity sitting above the previous swing highs. This wick wasn’t strength — it was a clear liquidity grab engineered to fill larger sell orders.

Once that sweep printed, the rejection was immediate:

  • Buyers failed to sustain momentum
  • 1H showed displacement to the downside
  • Market shifted away from premium pricing
  • The draw was clearly toward the inefficiency below

Higher timeframe bias was clean:
Short from premium → target discount and inefficiencies.

The LTF Setup (Confirmation + Execution)

Entry Price: 2848.32

After the liquidity sweep, price retested the exact candle that created the manipulation wick. On LTF, this level printed:

  • A clean CHoCH

  • Strong bearish displacement

  • A breaker/mitigation rejection

  • Confirmation that sellers were in control

No guessing. No predicting.
Just reacting to structure.

Why This Level Mattered

This was the origin of the final buy-to-sell move that swept liquidity. Once ETH returned to mitigate it, the short became high probability.

This is one of the core MNM setups.

Stop Loss Logic

Stop was placed above the protected high — the wick that caused the liquidity sweep.

If price reclaimed that high, the idea was invalid.
It never came close.

This tight stop is what made the RR so powerful.|

Targets & Result

Take Profit Levels:

  • TP1: 2770–2760 range (inefficiency reaction)

  • TP2: 2650 area (HTF discount/imbalance fill)

Exit Price: 2648.99

Total Realized Profit: $10,559.43

The market delivered exactly into the liquidity pools below.
Clean, mechanical, and fully within system guidelines.

Why This Trade Was Taken

  • HTF in premium, expecting distribution
  • Clear liquidity sweep above the highs
  • Confirmed CHoCH on LTF
  • Entry at a mitigation point
  • Strong displacement to validate direction
  • Liquidity draw to equal lows/imbalances below
  • No bullish structure to invalidate the short

Everything aligned.
This was a textbook MNM premium short.

What I Executed Well

  • Waited for confirmation instead of forcing early entries
  • Stop placement was perfect — protected above the wick
  • Trusted the structure and held through noise
  • Took profit exactly where liquidity was sitting

What I Could Improve

  • Took partials slightly early (habit)
  • Could’ve held more size into the deeper imbalance
  • Still refining patience during high-conviction trades

Final Notes

This is why discipline matters.
One clean premium setup with tight risk pays more than 20 random trades.

Structure → Liquidity → Confirmation → Execution.

This is MNM Moves.
