Bitcoin: Has the Missing Handle Been Overlooked

End of Feb 2018

Bitcoin showed a remarkable recovery since the beginning of Feb 2018. Yesterday's post focused on the rising limb of the on-going trend starting from the 1st week of Feb.

Today, I will focus on upcoming resistance level i.e. 11000 and the formation of cup and handle pattern.

The key resistance i.e. 11000 was breached only once whereas, 10800 resistance was touched several times. A strong and comprehensive break out is a must to consider the current trend as bullish. This will confirm the EMA cross overs as well that I indicated earlier. This is only possible if the current observation, posted yesterday, remains valid i.e. a cup and a handle pattern.

As indicated yesterday - the price targets such as a bearish momentum on this scale - 10300 has to be breached significantly below the set Fib 0.786 level & the price has to trade around 10500 or 10600, which was the case through out the day.

Now we only need to confirm whether BTC will breach through overlying resistance i.e. top of the cup or 11000 or not. If this breakout happens, we shall happily open another long position until the given TP (below) & expect 12000 in coming days. If this scenario fails, the 10400 stop-loss should trigger and one should short to 9551 (Fib 0.618).

Feb 27, 2018 Situation is illustrated above.

Feb 28, 2018 Situation is illustrated above. Note that the development of the cup handle becomes evident along with my target trading plan.

Bitcoin (March 18-30): Integrated Gann Fan Analysis & Trades

https://invst.ly/6-gn0 In this chart you can clearly see how the time & price are related when the fall happens in early Gann angles (1/8 to 1/2) & then the price pulls back as a bear flag & then takes time until it reaches the Gann 1/1 (45deg angle). That severs as a resistance and the price moves along this line until it completes the correction cycle i.e. ABC. Then the price breaks out and results in a swing i.e. bull run since it is over 45 degrees & chances are greater that BTC will either move sideways or do a bull run. Based on this, I decided to go long.

Bitcoin: Eyeing a Reversal Confirmation

Bitcoin is on its way to confirm the reversal pattern. Here are the series of events that happened post the longest bearish trend (50-days long). June 23 was marked as swing zone based on Fibonacci Time Extension. The next day prints a Dragonfly Doji pattern, which is traditionally a bullish sign. Attempted a panic sell situation but the price couldn't free-fall. Instead, BTC gradually dropped below 6K. Further drop could only put the CMF or volume higher resulting in a strong bullish divergence. This was also notable on the momentum indicators such as RSI. Note that we have not see so many bullish divergences of RSI in case of BTC. We have seen two major bearish divergences near psychological levels (20k, 10k). While the Awesome Oscillator shows twin peaks with some buyers strength. Here is another daily chart with other indicators. Note the swing zone 21 and the follow-up Doji. Conclusion: It is clear that the reversal pattern might b...

Bitcoin: The Golden Ratio

The price movement of BTC has several highs and lows. Timing the future is often unrealistic and many investors, who don't know math very well, stay away from a technical analysis. Often they totally ignore the power that such analysis may bring. Here is an example of BTC from Dec 2017 to March 2018. BTC is in fact following the golden ratio. If we would have known this before, we would be have been trading more effectively than we did in past. You can recreate such a map in your platform and then trace ahead the expected swings. I would advice to consider 5-10% error always due to news. As soon as this golden rule is broken like 15% error, you don't trade with this. While I am waiting for a breakout at 11.8, I thought to share this idea. Crypto Short
