As you recall, I posted yesterday an analysis indicating an Ethereum Pennant Trade setup and advised:
"In order to take a Long entry, I would wait for confirmation of an upside breakout out of the Pennant R:R 3:1"
No upside breakout occurred and the price fell away breaching the Pennant, therefore NO ENTRY and therefore NO LOSS.
Well, our Pennant has now MORPHED into a FLAG. So we now have a revised setup.
Again looking for confirmation of an upside breakout, before taking this trade.
No doubt the question arises "but if Bitcoin falls Ethereum will fall". For me, I don't like trading on that basis. Some news, for example, Byzantium Fork or any factors may come into play which may result in Ethereum taking an entirely different part to Bitcoin.
So I trade based on a TRADE SETUP, not on ASSUMED CORRELATIONS. Of course, you are free to trade in a way that's comfortable to your style of trading.
This has increased our R:R to 4.92:1 if it takes off.
