BTC USD 4h - A solution is near.

Updated
We had to wait quite a long time for BTC to shape a large consolidation pattern. There was some morphing of minor patterns involved along the way (which bears the risk to confuse traders including me) . To me this is the clear and dominant picture for now. We have a ascending broadening wegde in play (call it a 'megaphone' if you like), a shoulder head shoulder AND not to forget an inverse shoulder head shoulder. All three in one. Ideal for your dishwasher...

I already discussed the inverse shoulder head shoulder pattern in my previous idea, although I had it wrong there with regard to the symmetry the market has chosen to develop. You see clearly on the chart there is shoulder symmetry (parallel yellow lines) here, but with other reference points than I originally had in mind.

If current level holds there is a tremendous upside potential. If current level breaks, bulls need to rely on the ma200 to do his/her thing. Undershoot is in that case very likely though, as is a further downward trajectory after a bounce somewhere (probably around that ma200 level). We have dropped out of a large pattern at that moment with theoretically lower levels than the ma200 on the cards.

I know this pattern has been brought to attention already by many members of this highly valued community. It's not a Nikolas Tesla style invention I bring here, I am fully aware of that. I try to keep on track by updating the state of affairs quite regularly. And it fits better doing that from a clean sheet than to keep refreshing a 5-6 days old thread.

Happy and safe trading everyone.

My personal opinion (and I really recommend DYODD) is that every resistance will play the role it has to play but we will overtake them all.

Crypto twitter is bipolar acting like they are all newbies. I don't get it, frankly. If this scares you, you should probably buy Gold.
Note
It takes a long time apparently before a decisive move is made. Another retest of the under line (red) had occurred. Still inside the large consolidation pattern.

First zoom in for a bounce trade

Bounce can be expected at downwards sloping yellow. Zoom in 1 -3 minutes for entry I ill try to post.

Zoom out 4h. Ma200 nearby but OUT of the 'megaphone' pattern.

snapshot
Note
If it wasn't for the ma200 so nearby I would be 80 pervent sure of a further sell off. Now you have to keep in mind that this ma200n is in principle solid (at least temporary) support. Undershoot in BTC is ALWAYS possible. Way too many crazies with overleveraged positions while they even can't trade without leverage. That's crypto.
Note
3min zoom divergence rsi pretty clear, first target ma50 3min. That's most of the times what you can expect from a a 3 min rsi divergence, a boune towards ma50 on the same frame.

I missed this opportunity, I expected one leg lower (and rsi divergence on 3 is not that easy to play, in hindsight it is but not live), that still could arrive and then be ready for bounce. If it goes up from here as a LT bull, that's fine by me.

I like the RSI setup. I would let longs run for now. Could be a much bigger bounce in play. ST target is met though, but it's too early to close imo.
Note
Now is the right time to go to Twitter and enjoy the frenzy there. Let longs just run and then you have some free time. Every time over and over again people are losing it there, even people with over 5 years experience in the space, still no clue whatsoever. In a certain way it's useful, it's gauging sentiment. It's important.

This trend line confluence (you see it often on every asset) I trade ALWAYS on the long side for minimum a bounce. Then I'll check along the road if maybe there is something more than just a bounce in play. In hindsight I had better took some profits at that first resistance zone, cause the synergy was not really there (and I could have seen it, I will clarify later). But hey... that kind of micro stuff is really really difficult to assess rightly all the time. You must be hard on yourself, constantly lookin' for extra deges but there is a limit, it's not meant to become overly perfectionist self torment. The market is quite a beast to tame, just try to ride it some times....
Note
snapshot

30226 is the horizontal low from a few days ago. If we touch yellow one more time we are right there. Ranges are so huge I personally am not inclined to let my long position ride till there with stops under that horizontal support. It looks near on the chart (and all taken in account, it is crypt after all, it is near) but for a ST trade it's too far away for me. Depends on your personal style how you approach that kinda questions.

I have stops under current low and will make 90 percent sure a new entry at that point (when there is some indication at 1-3 min level).

Note
Binance 5

For some reason I expect a vicious move up, I have that feeling, that's the reason I have not sold the previous bounces (in hindsight regrettable but okay, decisions have repercussions).

A more conservative approach (less time consuming as well than catching every trendline bounce, and on occasion being stopped out after which you re-enter again) is to wait at least for the ma20 on the 1h frame to flatten. Then it most of the times is some sort of up and down fight in a rather defined range, after which direction is chosen. Only when it's a V shape reversal that kind of approach leaves you empty handed or you at least miss a good piece of the sweets.
Note
snapshot

ma200 1min is first resistance and guess what, it has not been taken out yet. I am starting to get really annoyed by those lackluster bulls, so I set auto stop and call it a day for a few hours at least.

Maybe we go up in my absence. Get some fresh air and maybe do some running, although I am not even sure if we are allowed outside after midnight (Covid). Rules change every week is my impression. Safe trading!
Note
Bulls are getting slaughtered ST, now anything is possible , a flush to 26k, whatever. That trendline 15 min that was support up to 3 times now is broken to the downside and although it could be a temporary undershoot, you just cannot count on that.

ma50 daily and ma400 4h. Those are important levels. We are seeing higher prices than this the coming days but maybe there are better bargains than here.
Note
snapshot

It's not that we are hanging that far under the channel, it still very well could turn out to be undershoot, but hey look at the ranges. Its 31k to 28k in the blink of an eye. You won't let that run that far against you for a short term trade.

That's recipe for disaster and yet that is what so many crypto traders are doing exactly. Leveraged long in at 31k I say something and not worked with a stop loss strategy. We will see 31k highly likely one of those days but many of them will not be in position anymore. Margin call or panic sold.

Above boll. ma50 (red) and I look for a long re entry. That would be a good signal. First time the first resistance would be broken in hours.
Note
Super hard to find an entry now. Impossible almost. ma20 3 min is a good spot I think.

snapshot
Note
Not very much to say (edit: oh wait, I had some inspiration apparently). Just checkin' in myself at my main station, after returning from some business 'out of base'.

Finally, after various failed attempts to gain something on the long side by playing the bounce (quite time consuming, with on multiple occasions stops triggered and hence re-entries needed), I had a valid ticket for a train heading north for more than one lousy station.

I was too eager and early in hindsight yesterday, and I should have been more diligent, patient and yeah altogether more 'wise'. There was no symmetry at all in play at those first bounces. Given the intensity of selling coming from an important consolidation zone, one could reasonably expect that the market would at minimum need some time and space to absorb that action.

One could even reasonably state that I was playing Mr. Dumb and Dumber by not being involved in shorting the market at any given time yesterday.

That's a (known but not fully addressed) issue of mine when I am tumble in 'countertrend bounce'-mode. My mental bandwidth risks to get too much affected by it, hence not leaving the required oversight to play the market on both sides.

In the case of yesterday, clear cut chances have emerged on both the long as the short side, and by far not far fetched ones. It's a retrospective assessment - not subject to all the noise and flaws that are inherent to live action -, but that makes it not less true.

It was a quite substantial bounce from the yesterday low, and it has in a rather swift and direct manner reached the first important horizontal support on the chart. You cannot reasonably ask more from a bounce-play.

Price has dropped from there. I don't rule out at all we go higher later today/night, but it's out of the primary scope of that bounce-play.

I will probably take a closer look at the market sooner than later. If I think I have some reference points to share going forward, I will post it here.

Daily. Not much to say. wave 5 coming (one leg down, let's say 28-26K) then up, or is the low already in? Still figuring it out. Maybe I won't figure it out. Elliott Wave is something I am quite skilled at but not a master.
Note
It's very difficult right now ton make clear 'predictions' about future price in BTC but my main take is the low is in. We are most likely heading higher.

You could have expected lower than we went, but maybe that's bullish. We didn't touch ellipse zone.

Action is very choppy to say the least. Still in corrective mode when you look at it at various timeframes. We know BTC likes those horizontal lines from previous highs (rather than bottoms) so I marked them in green. In yellow I marked some kind of channel but it's obvious that could be subject to morphing. I have seen on the web some pennant drawings and I must say I like those. It still would mean a retrace before resuming the uptrend. It is key to at a regular interval go back to the drawing board to check and make amends if ( one deems it) necessary.

very difficult consolidation action, under horizontal red I expect ST trouble for BTC, with the risk heading south towards the under boundaries of the channel. It's difficult to assess right now, I would not rule out at all that the latter will be the case. As a LT BTC holder I must admit I don't like it.
Note

Left my old lines in this chart and then you get a picture that is not so rosy, frankly. Rather grimm...

We are clearly out of the megaphone pattern and did some sort of retest. I know BTc likes those horizontal supports I have marked in red, it's really typical for btc.

It's impossible to predict future price action at the moment imo, action is too choppy nothing of a trend ST. Some people see a bullish wedge in play at the moment, yeah you could see it but this picture tyells another tale. I keep this picture in mind for further reference points (in the case we are heading south). Each red line is MAJOR support.
Note
It's in fact the daily without any indicators except some moving averages (most notably the ma50) that gives the most bullish outlook. Heikin Ashi.

Ma50 daily does the magic trick again. It's no magic it's just solid support. But sadly there is no guarantee it never breaks. ;-)

ma200 15 is super hard resistance ST.
Note
In fact almost any level between here and roughly 35k can be possible resistance, it's a cluster and only heavy MOMO can break that one. Until something huge happens HODLERS will have to wait, but hey that's the basics of hodling.

Trading bitcoin? Of course it's possible, it's choppy but short term support and resistance do their work in a fashion that is certainly manageable, but easier in theory than in reality. Trading a clear trend is always easier and I personally advise to act accordingly and scale down on size.
Note
35k really is the sweet spot. A zone of course and look at fakes certainly at 1h and 4h level. A wick above but a close under I mean. Those are the nasty ones.

Quite clear the MOMENTUM is here coming from the whole episode Robinhood and Wallstreetbets , DOGECOIN. It is real and this momentum could lead BTC to break 35k and to new ATH.
Note
I think the words 'Paradigm Shift' may be used. I don't say those words too quickly, but 2021 will be the year where it will all unfold. Call it the Great Reset whatever you like, it probably will unfold in a battle centralized vs decentralized with btc much stronger than it is now.

You can't fight the big boys with the current tiny market cap. So it will grow. It will grow tenfold and more. Today is an event in that narrative. A day for the history books, yeah I dare to say that, even ifr price cools down coming days (which I do not think will be the case).

Bitcoin 4h update

snapshot

After some much needed sleep, trying to get some oversight in the market(s), most notably crypto which is my main interest at the moment and very likely going forward (let's say months maybe years to come).

Honestly I had not expected that far of a pullback. It still can be considered as a retest, but one of a quite extreme nature. There was a big option expiry yesterday which of course brings volatility. Volatility doesn't necessary mean a pullback after a surge can be expected. Probably there are edges to be find there which are out of my field. I just play my normal play with only recognizing volatility of some nature can be expected,

Anyway, we are where we are now. That's quite an interesting spot, since we are on the brink of pushing above the important yellow downwards sloping line. If that happens, the same bullish outlook remains.

In principle we now should break the line, it's really textbook consolidation the last few hours on the hourly and 15 chart.

It's not even secondary, it's just fun to mention I guess.

BITCOIN pullbacked as expected, growth expected if support holds

Anticipation is key. Searching for huge levels to go in big for a trade is key.

When we go down (not my scenario number one but current price action is sloppy), I look at this picture for a big shot entry (ellipse zone).

(sorry I posted this update AGAIN as a comment first, it's really annoying in the interface but I am to blame of course)
Note
It's an unusual fib retracement I use (unusual reference 'low', but in btc it works), which gives even more 'confluence' to the importance of the ellipse level. 618 fib. The most important fib level there is, no doubt.

snapshot

One 'tiny' problem inj this scenario, we lose the ma50 on the daily. ' Quite huge so that means that going in big would require 1) good indication on short frames (even more important than it always is) and 2) the scope of the big trade is primarily that one of a mere bounce trade (so at least a big chunk needs to be sold quite rapidly (short term abc wave up) and with a moderate target, 31-32k looks legit at this moment.

Note
There was a minor bounce, quite a good ST entry play technically, no complaints, it's a chance I will always take, but my trade setup is invalidated afterwards. First minor resistance was already too heavy. Thinking about reopening long but not a clear cut chance at the moment. Tricky. Better wait till there is something interesting maybe around 33k.

In general it's lousy action and from a LT bull perspective I don't like it. It's more of a feeling, I will need more reference points really to gauge things more objectively.

The ma50 is still intact! It's a miracle (or not?)
Note
Bollinger bands have moved upwards nicely so that's a solid support zone together with the ma50 ('red moving average'' on the chart). If we break that support and the bollingerbands curl downwards, it's almost a certainty to say we go to yellow under in a swift and dramatic fashion.

I have a bullish bias, so the latter is not my favorite scenario. But you probably know already my bias is bullish on many occasions. ;-)
Note
Look I don't want to be again in the situation I am all euphoria to see it being reverted completely (the Musk hangover), but sorry can't help it. Lookin' sweet. Bollingerbands 4h is the minimum target for this move or I start to think I am jinxing the market. ;-)

There is only 1 resistance that is clearly visible and that is a minor one imo, on the 15 min horizontal. we are there now I don't expect much of a retrace.

Game of short term support and resistance

4h still above ma50.

snapshot

This is just some brainstorming, some possibilities I try to chart, there are quite many trendline combinations possible. I like parallel channels they often bring something that remains hidden when you just connect highs and lows respectively on the upper and under side.

It's not some kind of personal game about guessing the exact combo the market chooses in advance or something like that. That would be kinda childish and even harmful.

I just seek some insight, some options to anticipate on a trade setup, yeah some spots to do something simple as that. Like on the 15 minutes chart posted above my 4h update, I probably will engage into a long trade when we arrive in that flattened ellipse where some lines converge. It wouldn't surprise me though if the market bounces higher. It's just where we are now I don't see good opportunities to position myself without the risk being dumb ass stopped out.
Note
I am indeed jinxing the market lately, with my updates. ;-)

We have reached the target that I had expected yesterday, namely the upper bollingerband 4h frame.

The minor horizontal resistance I mentioned yesterday, played it's part. It proved harder than I had foreseen. It certainly was not a no show.

bollingerbands ma50 4h.

I am not going to post anything today or even night for that matter, that could contain anything interesting about BTC market direction. Whoever still reads in here, she or he is warned.

I said it on Twitter last night, I said you guys on Twitter, "please guys do respect the power of the Jinx and the Jinx will leave you alone from then."

Maybe it's a little bit 'out there', 'whoe hoe', but you gotta believe in something. Everybody does...And I believe in the Power of the Jinx and the Pamp. And many other entities but that's for another update maybe.

Oh boy oh boy, so sorry guys/girls (or wait for girls I say Ladies....Gents like to be addressed as 'guy's in the trading pit).

It's still quite some time before the year ends, but they will need to come in very very strong to beat that. It's impossible to come even close imo.

That's bitcoin it won't change. You need to work stops and re-entries or this market eats you when daytrading (or swingtrading, it counts there as well)
Note
snapshot

Quite a classic how it plays out, until now. Under line of the broadening falling wedge is often not reached in the latter stages/subwaves, hence you need to look at another (secondary) bottom line (on the chart marked in green) to locate the low.

Danger with this figure is the fact that - due to the broadening nature of the pattern - a next low will be set seriously under the current one. You can't let that run, it's a big mistake many people make when trading this figure. They tend to reset their stops during the process the price still trades in the wedge. Recipe for disaster.

Most of the times it happens when you have not located the low neat enough (cause the wedge boundaries are not always exactly met, hence you are tempted to buy in late) to put your position in the win and move stops at break even point or somewhere around that level.

I have been there myself tons of times in the beginning of my trading endeavors, I speak from serious experience. Main drivers of the disaster: 1) no valid stop strategy, 2) not enough skill to make decent short term entries (after having located the zone in which you possibly want to operate). The two are really connected cause it's so much easier to work stops once you are not underwater from the beginning. And as a novice trader that's exactly what happens most of the times, you go long and it won't take long (matter of seconds, minutes) you encounter problems with price trading under your entry.

Anyway, those meanderings applied to this specific topic: The pattern looks nice and cosy in the beginning, but when it goes against you it turns out to be very nasty.

It's a figure that is subject to morphing as well. It starts as a quite clean minor wedge like figure. When it starts to broaden quite extremely, an acceleration down under the under boundary is quite likely as a bonus (flush). It's indeed a flush for margin longs without stop strategy.

Either the flush will be reverted and the pattern will 'hold' or the wedge will in the subsequent price action turn out to be a tiny secondary pattern, almost invisible on longer frame charts. The under boundary of the wedge will in many of the latter cases act as resistance (it appears it could turn out to be a fake spike down, maximum confusion for longs and shorts).

So it's not that when you see a wedge unfolding you can be quite sure it goes up eventually (again a beginner mistake, sloppy careless trading cause "'it will go up anyway, if it's not here than it's somewhere in the neighborhood, chillax")

Wave symmetry of the wedge is perfectly at this point, so in my opinion the low should be here or else the pattern will turn out to be nasty and hard to trade on the long side (either side actually). So I am not re entering long until ma50 4h, once yellow is broken.

Quite hard though, whenever I accidentally pop up the Tradingview chat I get flooded with posts containing one single word, DOGE with the symbol of a rocket or moon as interpunction. It's really like all one brain cell people have finally found each other acting in concert.

No this time I did not participate cause I had expected it to correct further before a new Pamp should arise. Ah well, next time. It's a joker coin but he gets pumped up over and over again. High volume as welll, the highest volume on Binance in btc, highter than Ethereum. On Robin Hood Doge is listed as well, and I bet it is played massively over there too, probably even the main driver for the - let's be honest -- ridiculous behavior. But it is something to really acknowledge and take into account. It's one of the high voume coins/tokens in the space. Hence legit top 10???

In the mean time I am getting a little worried about btc. It's the Dancing procession of Echternach the last few hours. Two steps forward, one step back or even the other way around at times.

The same goes for my alt plays on which I have placed some extra 'bets' earlier today: Iota, Ada, Eos and Neo in particular.

XRP as well, no 'fan' of it, certainly not wearing a hat or shirt with "XRP forever" printed on, but it is a token that has the innate ability to pump. They keep hanging now, my selection, quite frustrating. Cause they show so much upwards potential even short term. Patience is key.

Bitcoin, ma50 15 and Bollinger now. Not going to add myself. IF not in position, it's a possibility.
