What the scanner saw

In the last week of August RLC rallied into the same price three times and stalled: highs of $0.3425 on August 22, $0.3324 on August 24 and $0.3336 on August 27, with closes at or just under $0.33. That is the horizontal, the ceiling of the pattern, which the alert draws at $0.3323. Under it the lows stepped down: $0.2971 on August 30 (B1), $0.2651 on September 11 (B2) and $0.2590 on September 16 (B3), each flush deeper than the last. That is the sweep, the move that takes out the stops of the remaining sellers. And it had the rhythm the Bottom End Sweep asks for: the slide from the ceiling to the last low took twenty days; the climb back above it took five.

FIGURE 1 · THE PATTERN, CLOSE UP

August 14 to September 30, linear scale. The ceiling at $0.3323, the three lower lows, the breakout of September 21, the pullback that fired the alert on September 23 and the trigger close on September 24.

On September 21 RLC broke above the ceiling, closing at $0.3469 with a high of $0.3627, and held above it the next day. Then came the confirmation the pattern needs: on September 23 price pulled back and closed at $0.329, on the projected line. That retest triggered the alert: buy $0.332258, sell stop $0.298208.

What happened

The entry came the next session: September 24 closed at $0.334, above the buy level. The pullback never went further than $0.3225 that day and $0.3323 on September 28; the stop, 10.2% below the buy, was never approached. Through the end of September RLC built a base between $0.33 and $0.38.

Then, on October 5, it doubled in one session: open $0.3637, close $0.7276, on roughly a hundred times September's daily turnover. The high came on October 9 at $1.488, 4.5 times the buy level, and the highest close on October 11 at $1.0413, 213% above the buy. By November 2 the price had come back to $0.4467, still 34% above the buy and above the ceiling that started the move.

FIGURE 2 · RISK VS. MOVE

The risk was $0.034 between the buy and the stop. The move to the October 11 close was $0.709, about 21 times that risk. To the October 9 high it was 34 times.

Why the stop sat where it did

The pattern rule puts the sell stop just below the last bounce low before the break. On RLC that was not the deep flush of September 16 but the dip of September 20, the day price first came back to the ceiling and wicked down to about $0.298 before closing at $0.313. The stop at $0.298208 sits on that low, which is also the floor of early September, where the lows of August 30, September 2, 8 and 9 all landed between $0.297 and $0.299. A close back under it after the reclaim of the ceiling would have meant the sweep had failed, and the position gone for 10.2%. It was never tested.

The card shows a second number next to the risk: Range, the last session's high minus its low. On November 2 it was $0.0216 against a risk of $0.0341: the stop was about one and a half days of normal movement away from the entry. On the alert day the range was $0.034, so the stop sat one day's movement under the buy, which is as tight as a stop on a coin this volatile can sensibly be.

Two things about this one are worth noting. The stop is twice as wide as the SEI alert of September 15, so position size had to be half for the same risk in money. And the liquidity value was 227, lower than most crypto alerts: resting orders should be sized to the book. iExec is a decentralised confidential-computing protocol, with the RLC token used to pay for off-chain execution.

Lessons for traders

Lessons

The sweep is the setup, not the signal. The 22% flush to $0.259 looked like a breakdown. The scanner waited for the reclaim of the ceiling and the pullback to it.
Do not chase the breakout candle. September 21 ran 11% intraday. The alert came two sessions later, 5% lower, with the stop that much closer.
A 10% stop can still be a 21R trade. Risk was $0.034; the move to the October 11 close was $0.709.
The reward zone is a plan, not a ceiling. The 3R zone at $0.434 was reached on October 5, the first day of the move. From $1.49 to $0.45 three weeks later is the reminder that a gain is only booked when it is taken.

Final thoughts

RLC is the Bottom End Sweep at its most violent: a deep flush, a fast reclaim, a quiet pullback and, twelve days after the trigger, a session that doubled the price. Learn how the Bottom End Sweep works.
