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).

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 Arrives at the Next Swing Zone (Oct 18): A Major Move with 6 Months Long Trend Ahead

Throughout the year, I have been following just one Fibonacci time zone prediction that worked very well. Whenever BTC arrived closer to these zones, something has to happen for some reasons: (a) Previous trend was losing steam (b) Extended cosolidation June 24 was the best example though when BTC closed below support (6K) & recovered in the following day. Thus, the swing zone prediction worked very well and the declining trend put a rally that gave significant profits. The rally failed an till Oct 18, the zone held the support & never closed above 6135 (on GDAX). If you see my previous analysis, whenever BTC lands on the support, I kept on finding evidences of volume/momentum divergences. What do we see now is that BTC holds the support with regular and hidden divergences against the volume and momentum indicators. Recent events, drop on Oct 11 to 6135 & breakout on Oct 15 of 6800 both turned fake. Here is a chart annotating the four fake drops, which held the ...

Bitcoin Bottom 2018: The Significance of Fibonacci 78.6 Level

Here is my review in search of finding the BTC bottom. Hopefully, you will find the hidden answers after reading my post. Verdict Whenever there is a crash, there are two supported levels that I use: Fibonacci Level 0.786 / 78.6% relative to maximum low i.e. either $0 or $1 or around that. This level is theoretical in cryptocurrency i.e. 0.889 / 89%. ------------------------------------------------- Bitcoin A very important question in the current descending market trend of Bitcoin, which is trading around 6900 at the time of writing this article. To understand this, one has to know two fundamental levels in BTC crash: 1. What is the maximum level that BTC can be re-traced? 2. What is the maximum decline level that BTC has seen so far relative to the first question? To answer these, one has to stay away from relative price levels. For instance, if I consider September (2017) price as a bottom assuming it will never be breached in future, I will always be wrong si...
