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.


Trades

Here is a Gann Fan Chart for bitcoin that I recently used to do trading. I implemented this post March 6-9 decline since then the price action was clear and the first Elliott correction on Feb gains was already applied. The next expectation was whether the corrections such as B & C are underway or not. I attempted to trade those pullbacks but didn't gain so much. The major trades came into play when I found a breakout on Gann & my traditional technical analysis that the time-price actions are neutralizing & the breakout of March 18 was evident. Despite the risks such as Death Cross, Bearish Load & failure of 11700, I still considered that the swing of March 18 is going to be a bull run. So far this assumption is going very well & I enjoyed several long positions here, which have been annotated.

Fibonacci Support Levels:
  1. BTC supported on Fibonacci support level 23.6% (7300 area) on March 18 & bounced back.
  2. BTC got resistance around Fibonacci 50% level around March 21 & 22. Thus, it could not break the resistance & pulled back.
  3. At the time of writing this article, BTC again made a second attempt to break this 50% resistance around 8900-9100 region but it seems that it cannot do it so. Upon a failure of breakout & formation of a double top, short positions can be added.


Positions:

I will close my long positions if a double top above 9000 is formed and BTC fails to breakout. In that case, I will add a short upon a breakout of Gann Lines & Fibonacci levels typically I am looking around 8800-8700.

 Update 24/03/2018 (22:33 UTC)

BTC couldn't hold above Fib50% & formed a double top around 9k resistance zone. 5H majors (RSI, StochRSI, %R) are neutral. The price wasn't comprehensively overbought since it never reached 9177 (previous high).  Longs closed with gains. Very risky shorts added TP 8.3, 8.1, 7.9, 7.5 (SL 8800) supported by the price being below SMA26, Gann 2/1, and NE-SW support line.

While down the road I will be conscious about the kicks at 8550, 8350, n 8000 levels. Thus, I will be moving SLs up to manage the risks n lock the gains for traded BTCs.


----

I am publishing this chart since I know it is very risky to trade with Gann Fan & many people complain that the standards of stock markets do not apply in crypto. However, this is not true in my trading style & I have been successful in combing Gann angles & Elliott waves together while calibrating them with Fibonacci levels.

My conclusion is that it is mostly possible that one can trade effectively if he knows what he is doing with these technical analysis.

Timing a Bitcoin Event

Here are some screenshots for timing a bitcoin event: I used Fibonacci Time Zone to predict a price swing. As the time stretches, the prediction may go less certain since news, trends, and market holds change, a point where you throw away the old trend curve and place a new one as per new set trend. Note:  Fibonacci time prediction is only used to locate a time with +/- relative error for a price swing. It doesn't tell what type of swing do you expect. That should be done by balancing  this observation with other technical parameters. Proven Bitcoin Major Trend Reversal (1D) Here are my predictions for timing BTC swings. The image below is a capture of March 7 event where a major price swing may happen. See the subsequent chart for confirmation & what happens next. Tip: To look at these charts, follow the vertical blue lines, which point a major price swing around (+/-1 day). As the time progresses, the error increases. Minor Trend Reversal ...

Bitcoin Klinger Oscillator Example

Klinger Oscillator (KO) is perhaps one of those oscillators in trading that will compensate the price-volume trend. Although there is a PVT (Price-volume Trend) but KO is an add-on feature. For Bitcoin, you can use this as well but for now I am going to put a special case for Q4-2018 here. BTC is at the verge of breaking the bearish descending triangle (Lower Highs and a flat bottom). However, KO tells a different story. In the chart below you find these trends: Jan to Sep a lower high setup - BEARISH Jan to Sep a lower low setup - BEARISH Jan to Jun a higher low setup on KO Indicator, confirming a regular bullish divergence . Jun to mid Aug a hidden bullish divergence, confirming a regular bullish divergence. Failed rally ahead but KO continues the bullish momentum i.e. higher lows while approaching the end of triangle.  What will happen next? It is indicated here in my post (investing.com). Crypto Short: We enter in Q4 with a solid floor defined by descending...
