BTC - Patience NOT Trading Makes You Money!
Been around 2 weeks since I sent out that Bitcoin trade in addition to adding some DOGE to my portfolio. So as we linger just below T1, many may wonder "where can I get in and is it ok for me here?"
The answer is not so simple. If you missed the opportunities to buy at lower prices for the long term and are like "crap I missed it again", buy a small starter position and then look to add around it. Overall my Target in the longer term is around 130k and we are a long ways for Kansas as it pertains to that.
However if you own Bitcoin, I am not really too interested in buying here. This target is a target for a reason. Now sure we could blow right by 81k and hit 90k this next week, but I am more in the we are going to see some profit taking sooner than later.
Markets are made up of all kinds of traders, from long term buy and hold to scalpers and day traders. Each has its own technique and boundaries as to when and where they take profits.
There was a lot of buying under 60k and if you are up 30% in a trade, it is reasonable to start taking profits. Also there are break-out traders (like our trade) which triggered around 70k. This is more of a swing type trade so with targets of 10-20pts it is reasonable for them to start taking profits as well. Note our 1st target is at 81k.
So if you are looking for a trade you need to be patient. Do not FOMO here. Everything is probabilities and I am of the opinion it is more probable that we get a consolidation or even slight pullback in this area. Do NOT force a trade here. If it goes straight to 90k you didn't lose anything and IMO the risk is too high just to jump in at a resistance level.
What makes this resistance? Using Fibonacci we can provide some measurements which are often used to gauge where profit taking may take place. The theory behind it is the herd does the same thing over and over again so these levels have some relevance.
When we get overlapping levels, it provides a little more weight to the area. The 61.8 extension of wave 3 and also the 1.25 retracement of wave 4 overlap around the 81-85k area. So I want to lock in something there. If it continues higher, well I still have a half position, or if we get a pullback and another setup I can add a trade.
In short patience, not trading, makes you money! Going back to 2016 when I first started posting, I pushed patience. Many FURUS were into the "I want a trade now" or if I said "Long term target 20k"they would laugh at me a week later and tell me how stupid I was.
Most of those dotes are gone, but here I am, and patience paid off over the last 8 years. It will continue to payoff in the future as well!
