Pascal/Bitcoin triangle breakout - PASC/BTC
I'm going to prepare for a breakout of this triangle pattern if the price goes above the last high. Hopefully the price will consolidate more and we can cancel this trade and get one with a tighter stop and therefore a better risk to reward. EDIT: We just broke above as i was writing this, so we're in the trade now. Let's set the stoploss and see what happens
What I'm looking for on this set up:
- The overall trend is upwards and is moving between consistent higher lows and triangle patterns. for me this is the most easily predictable form of price movement and is why i like cryptos so much for trading.
- The triangles are great as after this kind of consolidation the price will usually pop in the direction of the break and you can get a really goo risk to reward. If we get a similar move to the last triangle we could be looking at 10:1 risk/reward or more.
- When these new coins get added to Poloniex there is often a hype about them creating massive volume and liquidity, as well as an overall buy panic. With this you get these really nice patterns and minimal erratic price movements. Pretty good because you can safely use a smaller stop (better R/R) without worrying that the price will suddenly drop and take out your stop.
Gonna move up a stop up under the 30 min or 1 hour swing lows and if we get a sudden large move upwards, i'll probably break down to a lower timeframe and move a stop under the lows there instead.
Hope this goes well for anyone involved...good luck!
