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 (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.

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...
