Bitcoin - Zones to watch for a pullbackWell, I was wrong in thinking this was just a bounce - and it's turned out to be a rally to all time highs. So, we have to re-adjust our thesis to the current market conditions, and move on. I don't like chasing candles, and so I haven't fomo'd into BTC yet - I like to buy on the corrections, when there is blood and fear all round. It is in these situations that sellers tend to give the best "deals", as a result of their emotions. Buying into hype is risky, in my opinion, as the opposite happens - buyers overvalue the asset because of their emotions. I'm being patient here. I'm watching these zones for a bounce.
Bitcoin - No 2x fork, things have changedNow that there will be no free coins, I think that BTC will have a correction to the previous level of resistance, which is 5k. Now that 2x isn't a thing, that value will be drained from BTC's current price, as the reason BTC rallied was because the market factored in the price of 2x into BTC. I'm waiting for 4900-5000 to go long again, however, I'm not short right now. Just holding.
Bitcoin - Hedge your altcoins by going longI know I said I expect BTC to have topped for the year, however, it's not impossible that we'll have a little short squeeze following the recent dip. I'm 10x long @ $7270, looking to take profit around 7590-7750, and my stop is located at 7129, which is just below the daily low - I believe if we start breaking that price, we will proceed to have a red day.
The reason I'm opening this position, is to hedge against the longs I have on altcoins. Do the same, so that if BTC rallies and we have another altcoin winter, at least you'll make a bit:
Trade stats / size:
- Capital deployed: 35%
- Overall portfolio at risk (stop at 7129, 2% loss at 10x = 20% of 35% of Portfolio): 7% risk
- Reward: 15 - 22%

Bitcoin - Elliot waves to new highs - $9k targetI've never really been an Elliot wave trader, however I've been looking into the theory behind them lately, and I find the concept very interesting. Let's see how this scenario plays out. Besides the Elliot waves, we have a massive bull flag that formed from 7500 down to 7000, which has now broken upwards again. Elliot waves, bull flags - Bitcoin is going to new highs
Out of new triangle soon? Here's the target inv HS out :)All details at chart. Simple and clear, just trade.
