LTC - Make it or break it

2 502
Macro rising wedge. Close to macro 0.5 correction.

Breakdown is very dangerous for bulls. Invalidation means bull market to me.
Note
You think this chart is hard to short? They can make it harder.

Note
So you see a macro bearish structure. It's actually multiple but I'm focusing on this one right now. You have a nice potential of 3-4x in case of an invalidation.

Macro environment is still bearish. You don't have the FED on your side like previous bull runs. There are some believers but we have some leading indicators that shows you won't have that soon enough. I don't wanna go into details of macro but TA clearly says you sell on a macro perspective. My side is clear.
Note
LTC/BTC beautiful:

Note
This top is so beautiful I can't stop looking. Would be a shame if it fails :D Follow the support line on the daily chart.

snapshot
Note
What if the dollar pair does the same?

snapshot
Note
And it's not like end of the world automatically. It can do this afterwards.

snapshot
Note
In fact, it would be better for the bull case if it does this before touching 109.
Note
Daily close below the support but there is this falling wedge.

snapshot
Note
This would be the real death sentence. Imagine a distribution range 6+ months. It would be disgusting.

snapshot
Note
Or this range is enough to send it down. I'm not sure. Very possible considering the whole move fits into a rising wedge.
snapshot
Note
I usually build big positions over a long time. But I didn't touch this position since the initial entry a month ago @86.5. Until today. 90.6 new average :) Wrong above 110. We will see.
Note
There is this above 110. I mean imagine looking at this chart and thinking 'Ok I will buy this coin because there is room until here.' Even if you are bullish on crypto there are much better options right now.

Note
Trend is strong here.

snapshot
Note
The double bottom is important but I believe it will go lower.
Note
My interest with LTC/BTC is not just because of my LTC trade. I'm interested with this chart because of the correlation with the bottom.

snapshot
Note
There may be many examples of topping BTC pairs when BTC bottomed. But the reactions of this pair to both July dip and November dip is quick and clean.
Note
You can say the rounding top has already did its job. But my next target is this. The trend is strong. Bounce and continuation is very likely. Then range at the target and decide what's next.
snapshot
Note
Or bottom here. We will have to see.

snapshot
Note
Strongly bearish.
Note
See. Simple retest.

snapshot
Note
LTC/BTC is there. We might see some type of consolidation for the next leg down.

snapshot
Note
This might hold.

snapshot
Note
Smooth.

snapshot
Note
My bias flip levels are simple:

snapshot
Note
LTC loves 100-week EMA.

snapshot
Note
BTC pair 0.5 retracement done. Dollar pair still doesn't know what to do.

snapshot
Note
Pfff it's boring. Do something.

snapshot
Note
BTC pair is also butchered with this BTC dump.

snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
I've reduced my short size ~30% @86.66.
Trade closed manually
Closed short here. I will be looking for re-entry.
Trade active
I'm back in. 87.5 entry / 92.6 stop.
Note
I won't trade this one. No add, no move. If it stops, i'm out.
Note
My short close turned out to be a godly move btw :D It gave me more than enough to afford this new position.
Note
This outlook is scary as fuck. That's why I jumped back in short at 87.5.

snapshot
Note
It's not even mid-week yet. Let's see how this candle will end up. I really wanna know.
Note
Wtf is my accuracy with this one :D Still very dangerous look btw.

snapshot
Note
Moved my stop to my re-entry level. 87.6.
Note
This is a decent FW. It should cause at least a fakeout.

snapshot
Note
But overall this looks like a correction to the dump. So still bearish.
Trade closed: stop reached
I am out. For now at least.
Note
Sounds crazy but I'd be happy to get back in +$140 :D
Note
I believe it shouldn't go below this. I will try a long with a tight stop.

snapshot
Note
Roughly, 80-85 should be the support. Or it's bad.
Note
This chart has become much more harder to read for me. I can't help but thinking 120s and 140s are the targets but it's not easy.

snapshot
Note
Because I'm still interested in this pattern. This is not something I wanna buy.

snapshot
Note
This a bad monthly start.

snapshot
Note
This looks bad again. But I have enough shorts.
Note
Time to pay attention.
