Bitcoin: Sell Signal Watch For 58K.
Bitcoin continues to respect the support/resistance levels within the broader consolidation. These price areas have been relevant for months and will continue to be relevant UNTIL the market proves otherwise. To navigate this environment effectively requires the ability to anticipate price behavior at these key levels, confirm a reversal AND quantify the risk associated with the time frame you intend to operate within.
With this in mind, 64K is a CLEAR resistance and it is within reason to anticipate bearish activity across higher and lower time frames. As of now the low of an inside bar has been broken (see arrow). This CONFIRMS a sell signal off the 64K key resistance which means this is NOT the time to be long (swing trades) and aggressive shorts are reasonable for smaller time frame (day trade) strategies.
The illustration on the chart refers to the scenario that I believe has a greater probability to unfold compared to a narrow range of scenarios over the coming week (see previous articles for outcomes of previous illustrations). While this can change at any time, the point here is to recognize the next probability location (58K AREA) for a swing trade long. IF Bitcoin presents such a test, the pattern to watch for is a bullish pin bar or inside bar between 56 and 58K. Such an outcome can be characterized as a failed low formation which is very typical within price consolidations.
If you are interested in the short side potential, following the illustration is most effective on smaller time frames and using a tool like my Trade Scanner Pro in trend mode. This setting is specifically for momentum continuation patterns which are likely to unfold in price regions that are not in close proximity to key levels (like 62L to 60K for example.) The idea is to follow the momentum on the smaller time frame while also accounting for the smaller magnitude profit objective and risk.
Playing the price action game totally relies on a strong grasp of HOW price moves, NOT WHY. One of the biggest obstacles for retail traders is the relentless amount of misinformation that is then mixed with personal emotional baggage. Yet, even though I repeat this often, it is no match for the power the drives human nature. People would rather react to and put their trust into an exciting story rather than a bunch of seemingly abstract lines on a chart.
What the typical trader fails to realize is that a chart is a historical record of human behavior expressed in the form of buy/sell orders. The problem we are trying to solve (where is price going next?) is a BEHAVIORAL one, and nothing more (even in the age of algos). One of the universal truths that make technical analysis worthwhile is that "history repeats itself". Why else do you think support/resistance levels have any future opportunity value?
Thanks you for considering my analysis and perspective.
