BTC Slow Bounce, Watching 4 Hour ChartBTC dropped down and broke $8,000 support last night, leading to hourly RSI hitting 21.
This is a historical buy zone though protection against a bear flag and continuation to get the 4 hour oversold was needed.
The 4 hour chart still has EMA resistance and lower highs/ lower lows.
I personally had my first ETH orders fill and took some small profit before bed.
From here I will only be a buyer if we drop to lower lows under oversold conditions again, OR we change the trend on the 4 hour time frame.
The daily chart is forming a bullish reversal candle, but we will have to see a 4 hour higher low and bounce continuation to hold it.
Bulls liking the fact that an $8k break did not lead to further weakness.
Very clear criteria I am waiting on makes patience easy. Are we oversold? No. Have we changed the 4 hour trend? No.
Great... do nothing.

LTC Hourly Channel on WatchLTC is currently trading within a channel on the hourly that is hard to feel good about as a bull.
I am still patient and waiting for a trade to come to me and it is not happening here.
I will be looking for a BTC flush of $8k or a clear break of resistance before looking for a trade.
This is a good time to establish a game plan for both scenarios of direction, as well as to studying up and learn some things.
The ranking is currently ETH, LTC, BTC in terms of strength for bulls, but still tied to the action of BTC of course.
Watching 4 hour EMA 12 and 26 for a bull cross which has not happened in some time.
BTC Potential Bearish ChannelBTC on the 4 hour visual looks like a bear flag as we had a bull break o resistance and completely turned around bearish right after.
Still not liking the trading within this range... so we wait and do not trade until conditions get more favorable.
Sitting on our hands can be hard, but this is a great time to invest time into learning more.
People say "If I only knew then what I know now", well this is preparation for the weekly EQ break that is coming.
I will not likely make any trades again today, as the bulls have lots of proving to do to give confidence.
I will start to get interested in looking for oversold bounces on an $8k break though RSI levels will be important of course.
Lack of volume and liquidity is what allows of 1 min candles to shape the charts.
LTC Daily Bulls Held SupportLTC had more space before breaking support than BTC due to a stronger bounce as highlighted in the video yesterday.
We are now watching if BTC can change the trend on the 4 hour chart to put the bulls back in control, which would have the daily charts for ETH and LTC looking much better than BTC.
Still patient at this point, but establishing a game plan for two scenarios, BTC breaking $8k or BTC bulls forming a higher low and higher high on the 4 hour chart.
I have been placing orders for both ETH and LTC recently to spread out the bounce a bit.
Bulls want to close here or better to have a long lower wick on the daily, but lots of time still to go.
Last day of consensus and all about BTC and the clear 4 hour downtrend currently in play.
ETH Bulls Trying for a Daily Higher LowAs described in the video yesterday, BTC could drop to a lower low on the daily while ETH can hold much longer due to the size of the initial bounce.
This daily chart is still looking good for the bulls to remain in control, but we must be cautious if BTC breaks $8k support.
BTC changing the 4 hour trend back to the bulls would have ETH in a very bullish position on the daily chart.
ETH remains my play for bulls as it continues to have better setups and opportunity vs. BTC.
Consensus ends today so we need to be aware of any potential reaction to lack of news.
Still very patient as the 4 hour chart for BTC is not favorable for the bulls just yet.
Personally filled on a couple ETH orders last nigh just under $680, but took profit quickly and went to bed!
BTC Hourly Oversold Bounce, Likely Lower HighBTC saw a very weak and slow hourly oversold bounce start last night and get a boost up this morning on a big 5 min candle.
Zoom out to the 4 hour chart for Anti-FOMO as it is very clear we are setting a lower high after coming off a new low.
Still patient and watching for a potential break of $8k support to trigger some stops.
We will need a 4 hour higher low and higher high to change momentum back to the bulls on this time frame.
Last day of Consensus today and I will be curious to see if there is a "now what" bearish reaction.
Daily bear flag was confirmed, but the size of the lower wick on today's candle will be telling as to follow through or lack of it.
Personally just had a couple ETH orders fill and I took the profit last night to get some sleep.

LTC Morning Laggard with Must Hold Support ClearBTC and ETH just broke their overnight equilibrium bullish while LTC still has hourly lower highs in place.
There is a double low of support in the $144s which is a must hold level, or the lack of support underneath will shift momentum to the bears.
Bulls are trying to gain 4 hour EMA support and see the 12 period cross the 26 bullish.
This has already occurred on the other names, so again LTC is playing a bit of catch up.
The news of Gemini yesterday gave LTC very nice gains but that hype appears to have worn off a bit.
Remember how LTC sees quick bursts of bullish action that can easily fade as we have seen time and time again.
I am more likely to lock in profit on LTC quicker than others on a breakout for this reason.
Currently all cash and patient.
ETH Battle for $740 ResistanceAfter rejecting from $740 3 times on the 4 hour chart, the bulls broke it last night and only held it as support for a few minutes.
We saw stop buys trigger and flash the price to $746 before immediately falling back below it.
It will be notable today if bulls can hold this level as support.
4 hour EMA 12 and 26 support and bull cross following through, and the bulls on the daily do not have the same EMA resistance like BTC.
Looking for the potential of a daily equilibrium to form once the bulls top out on this bounce as there is a wide range to trade within.
Lead bull Sunday, but slowed down yesterday as BTC and LTC played a little catch up.
Loss of hourly higher lows would be a red flag for bulls.
Currently cash and patient waiting for a more clear and favorable risk v. reward setup.
BTC Testing High of Bounce ResistanceBulls just broke from an hourly equilibrium that has been forming for the last handful of hours,
and now are looking up to the high that we have seen on this bounce.
The bulls are holding 4 hour EMA 12 and 26 as support, but these EMAs are also resistance on the daily.
Currently back to all cash and patiently waiting for a clear setup.
I am not losing sight that I would anticipate the weekly equilibrium needing a bit more consolidation before the higher low is found.
Some Consensus bullish news could change this, but I am always looking at what is the most likely scenario.
Personally sitting patient for more clarity.
LTC Bulls Hoping for Daily Higher LowAfter a brief 2 day bounce for BTC and ETH, we have pulled back hard and lost the 4 hour higher lows on both BTC and LTC (Not ETH)
We are looking for the bulls to hold this low and see continued recovery with hourly higher lows and higher highs.
If we break support we know the bears are back in full control as we get ready for 4 hour oversold conditions again.
If bulls continue this bounce with hourly higher lows and higher highs, we will be eyeing the high of the bounce.
We are also going to see increased volume today and the bulls must see a solid lower wick to associate a lot of that volume with bulls.
If we see a close near the low of the candle, it will be a lot of bear volume outweighing the recent bull volume on the bounce.
ETH Much Better Setups for Bulls Than BTCETH pulled back hard with BTC last night, but has way more wiggle room before getting to the low of the daily dump.
The bulls are forming an 4 hour higher low and remaining in control of the bounce.
From this position, due to favorable correlation, bTC could drop to a lower low and it would likely take a break of $8,000 for the ETH price to get back to the lows of the dump in the $640s.
I will personally be looking to play ETH this week as the gains continue to out pace BTC.
Bulls will need hourly higher lows and higher highs to continue on this bounce recovery, but cautious if BTC loses 15 min higher lows for the potential for a bear flag and continuation.
Consensus 2018 starts today but I do not expect any big market spikes without some unknown news.
BTC Potential Daily Bear FlagWith the start of Consensus today, many are expecting bullish action during the event.
Currently we are still seeing bears strong with the flush last night.
Bulls held the low of the dump, and are trying to form a higher low to recover.
Potential for a 15 min bear flag this morning and we have to be cautious of how much faster bears make their move than the bulls.
If we drop to lower lows the bears will still have complete control and it will be the most bearish setup during Consensus in a few years.
Bulls need an hourly higher low and higher high to change the trend back in favor of the bulls trying to recover.
Loss of 15 min higher lows will increase odds that it is another bear flag.
Currently all cash and waiting for a clear setup.

$LTC - Litecoin DailyCorrections galore over most coins in the market and Litecoin is no exception. Small signs of a possible trend reversal as Litecoin may be meeting support at the 50 period moving average near 139, an the BB% shows a slight uptick. We are also at or around the lower Bollinger Band so some support can be expected. We still need to wait another 24-48 hours to confirm we are near a trend reversal so eyes need to be kept on this if your looking to invest.
$ETH - Etherum DailyAnother correction period for Etherum as it has had a great run the past few weeks. It has finally pulled over the 50 period moving average and kept the run, though as everything goes up a correction eventually comes. Etherum though has started to slow a little bit. The Heikin Ashi candles are getting smaller, though still below the 20 period moving average and the BB% shows a slight uptick. Bearish volume right now has slowed, but there is still a chance the correction may continue. May be a false signal of a trend change, but we will have to wait another 24 hours to see if it does.
If the correction continues, first area of resistance would be near 613 by the bottom bollinger and if it continues to drop past that, the 50 period moving average would be the next support area near 562. If the trend does change, first area of resistance is near 706 then 813 before another possible correction. These values can change as the support and resistance can changed based on averages.
$BTC - Bitcoin DailyI have not posted in awhile due to a busy life the last week or so and the market overall seems to be in a corrective state, however i believe for Bitcoin the correction may be coming to an end within the next few days.
Bitcoin is right below the lower Bollinger band and the Heikin Ashi candles are starting to shorten a bit. The BB% is oversold and shows some minimal signs of life. We are still above the 50 period moving average which is a good sign and over the last 48 hours have seen support at this point. Bearish volume is starting to drop itself. Still need to watch the trend though historically on the BB% indicator when Bitcoin has entered the oversold area we have seen a bounce. The degree of the bounce is yet to be determined, first resistance would be near 9200 by the 20 period moving average then the top band near 9800. Once we see a positive trend change, which using Heikin Ashi would be at least two good green candles, keep watch for a possible rally soon.

#EOS Im long, the bears lose! 25 % profit possibilitiesHello again my friends, I was asked again if I could help one of my discord members, he asked if I could help him with an EOS chart :)
Here`s what I call a safe trade, let's see how this plays out over the next week with only 3% risk on investment and opportunities up to 25%
I have today received a number of new indicators that I will try out for mytradingscripts.com
So let's try these a few days and I'll send an honest return message on how I think this script works :)
We have recently received alerts from the trend alarm that we have returned to a new bullish trend, as we look at the alarm bar. We have received a steady rise in prices even though the bears tried to pushe us under the fib level. We clearly see that we now find support around 19500 which is fib level.
Rsi in 2 hours the chart is in the middle of the bar which is a good starting point when we start a new run when we get volume, remember that most of the altcoins follow btc.
My mission is to help as many as possible to get better in the market, gladly join the new discord community I'm trying to build up, with news, charts and basic TA for those who wish to learn that, you are welcome. discord.gg
LTC 4 hour RSI Oversold. Bounce WatchLTC 4 hour RSI similar to BTC as we approach historic bounce levels in the low 20s.
Watching for the potential of another flush down and climax to signal the bottom being in for the morning.
When the bounce does begin playing out, we will need to be cautious of a potential 4 hour bear flag if RSI cools off.
This has been a tricky trade that requires a lot of patience and maneuvering.
I am personally playing ETH on this bounce, though LTC gains will likely be greater than BTC so others choosing LTC is a bad idea.
I will explain my trade maneuvering and positions in depth in a mid day video today.
ETH Bounce Watch with BTC 4 Hour RSI LowETH is on bounce watch with the rest of cryptos while we look for BTC to set a bottom this morning and see the 4 hour oversold bounce.
The tops are in on the weekly charts to set lower highs, and daily consolidation is likely for the next week+.
I personally have been very active on this dump last night into this morning with entries, scaling out small profit, re-entering the next leg down, etc. I currently have an ETH avg of 707 with about 40% cash read to add if we drop to the $670s with another leg down.
I will go over this strategy more in depth in a mid day video today.
For now we patiently wait as the odds of a climax, V-shaped bounce appear more likely before our bottom is going to be set.
BTC 4 Hour Oversold Bounce WatchWe are looking for a low to be set today and for BTC to bounce from 4 hour RSI in the mid to low 20s as we have seen many times in the past.
Scaling into entries at this point with cash on the side to add another leg down is the strategy.
We will be watching for either a flush climax kind of bounce, or a change in the hourly trend to indicate a bottom is in.
All last night we have gotten oversold short term, bounced to see bear flags cool off short term RSI, then a drop to lower lows.
Scaling in slowly, keeping cash to average down, and locking in small profit on the bear flag bounces has been the strategy to manage entries and prevent from being all in with no game plan if we continue down.
I will go over this more in depth in the video this afternoon.
