BTCUSD Rising Wedge Short - Micro vs. Macro
Updated
Looking at the 30-minute chart, you see a clear rising wedge just screaming to break down! Volume dwindling, CMF and OBV drying up/going sideways and the Long/Short ratio at 1.35. I added to my short throughout the day and current entry level for the position is just above 7500. Will keep it open with a stop-loss setup above.
Now looking at the Macro...
The flash crash bounced right around both long term support as well as the 0.382 Fib retracement. The buyback was impressive and there is plenty of speculation going on about why it happened, but most of it is simply cognitive dissonance. BTC needed a correction. I personally would like to see a further correction to the 0.5 Fib at $5800-$6000. That is where I will be buying more and closing my shorts if I don't get stopped out. My script I published for free public access got me in at 5825 and stopped me out at 7750. It's a trend strength/following system with built-in risk management, which is why I never get stuck in a bad trade anymore. The risk tolerance is set automatically based on price action and differential formulation as the momentum shifts.
