Bitcoin: Why 6K is the support?

Today, I am going to explain one of the simplest thing in trading that we often forget. The question is why 6K for Bitcoin, why not 7K or 4K or 2K or 1K?

You may have your answer but do you have any explanation to that. Perhaps, yes or maybe not. Hang-on, we need something that you can tell from the data without drawing so many lines.

Here comes a dirty chart, with messy lines and one simple explanation. Below this chart, I explain two mindsets, first the dirty trader mindset, and second, the simpler investor's thinking.

A Trader's Explanation

An average crypto trader trades a few bitcoins. He has to draw all small scale features on a chart to trade a trend. For instance on this chart you see a simple Fibonacci fan in a bear market. Each high developed a peak on a fan and followed the fan such that there are lower lows, a bear market. Then the next lower high, which is followed by subsequent lower lows until July 2018. But see what happens next, still a bear market mindset, but no lower lows. Just a double bottom. The decline height also decreases, so sellers are running out of steam. But what happens overall? Everything falls on to Fibonacci 0.236=6000 from ATH. Why this 6K all in sudden & bears kept on playing above 6K? A trader will simply say that is Fibonacci retracement so whatever holds, is my level. But is that the explanation you were looking for? Certainly not!!

An Investor's Explanation

An investor will put the equation into a simpler answer. He will say that ATH=20K, take 70% out, we get 6K. That is it! He is not going to think about all cumbersome equations, models, or trends.

What happens next?

Now what happens next, small hands will shake hands around 6K, perhaps they will push the price a bit further lower. Since they don't trade big, they won't be able to break it down as much as big players can. So, if the people sell in panic, it is good for an investor, he will take the benefit of it since he was looking forward to an equation i.e. anything below 70% is my interest. He will accumulate while others will fear.

I hope I've explained it well!

Good luck!

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

Bitcoin at 6K - Fourth time and again Price-Volume Aren't in Sync

This is the fourth time bitcoin is touching the 6K and has developed a near 5800 bottom. The price had a free-fall from 8500. However, when it came down to the 6K support, it behaved like it is close to a gravitational pull. Instead, it slows down. Take a look at the price and volume actions. Especially, the OBV and PVT. Both hold a key when it comes to the reversal pattern recoginition. When every one is bearish, you need to look at some out-of-box tools or utilities that can help you in defining a position. When we touch the support 4th time, it simply means that the support is weak. However, this doesn't mean that a rally cannot begin. Every one expects the bitcoin to reach 2K so that it comes a good buy. Ask yourself, will you buy it? Most probably not. Here is a capture of some key divergences: Regular Bullish Divergence against RSI OBV - Hidden Bullish Divergence Regular Bullish Divergence against PVT With these divergences in-hand one should think about accumul...

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...
