Looking for a Swing Trade Long in BitcoinBitcoin is a monthly and weekly bull market and currently in a daily bear move which I would categorize as a consolidation. In my early posts I was concerned that we could have topped and opened up a parabolic crash. While that is still possible, I don't find it as likely since this move has taken so long. Had we broke down last month, I would be more cautious. So I look to buy major dips in a bull market. As a cycle trader, I'm trying to buy during daily cycle lows. Since bitcoin tends to form cycle lows every 55-60 days I'm looking to buy a reversal between day 45 and 65. The timing band is that yellow area so this is statistically more likely to reverse in the next 15 days. Its not guaranteed and cycles aren't 100%, but we have an advantage when we buy in timing bands. There 3 areas I'm looking to buy. 1. $9k-$9500 - This is my least favorite as this will be harder to buy. However, its hard to ignore bitcoin in 2019 as it has a habit of forming a range low support that holds. Just like $7400 in June held. So if we form a rounded bottom here over the next week and start to reverse up, and back over $10100 then I'm going to start to build a long. Unfortunately, it would be a move where I'd have to just slowly add as we break new levels and hold support, but with almost everyone expecting a break down, it would be a very bitcoiny thing to see us just hold here. 2. $8500 area - This area has a lot of confluence. There is a CME gap, a monthly open and a 200 DMA all in the same area. It seems obvious and I think almost every trader will be a buyer there. That makes me think it might get over run.. but in the past when I've ignored the obvious just to be a contrarian I've missed super obvious moves. With enough confluence you get everyone buying and support holds and up you go. The only other problem I have with this area is that when the major daily support at $9k breaks down you would expect momentum to take it down much further. So if we do go down to $8500 I would like to see a quick move down that is bought up instantly and doesn't spend much time down there. 3. $7000 area- This is my favorite area. Especially if we get a really aggressive move. There is some support and that last major low. There is a huge gap where we have no volume from $6500-$7200. This will be an area ripe with stops. I think it will also be very hard to buy and you may have to just wait for the reversal, but a huge wick down there like we had in May or early July would be glorious.

This Could Be The Easiest Buy Signal Of 2019Since March of 2017 we have only seen 3 bullish crosses on the MACD for XRP/BTC 1W chart. I have circled those crosses. We are very close to a fourth bullish cross which means it is almost time to buy XRP. As you can see, the distance between the crosses is becoming longer and the returns seen after the crosses are becoming less. BUT, that doesn't mean that we aren't going to see some fireworks. With that said, I feel like the reason we didn't see huge returns last cross was because of the lack of interest in the market at the time. Price is reaching a zone that has strong buy support. People who have discounted XRP in the past are now thinking about whether they should jump in because of a potential pump that is bound to happen. I have outlined my 3 price targets conservative target:5550 sats, moderate target:10040 sats and extreme target: 17031 sats. This price in this support zone is almost too good to pass up and I believe this could be one of the easiest profits of 2019.

Is the Parabola Broke or Correction to Buy Bitcoin?Its the question everyone should ask and coming weeks will help us answer. This is my current cycle count in a 55 day cycle average, but since this has been so vertical, I'm still a bit uncertain if its accurate. This correction will help us get more clarity. We have a parabolic move, a big drop, a recovery to the 79% OTE, then lose all those gains in a few days. We have massive volatility so we are in a dangerous territory. In my last post I talked about the dangers of a break in the parabola and certainly price action is telling us to be careful. But I'm not certain that its broken. It can just be expanding before the next move up. When markets get like this I get cautious. So I really wasn't doing much of anything since last time we hit $10k other than small day trades. I'm still net short since my last post. With such a big move up and down in the past week or so, it would be rare to see the $9600 previous low hold. Bullish Plan: If we do break lower then I want to see volatility calm down and I'd like to see some sideways chop in the $8500-$9000 area. If we get there this week I'll cover short and look to build a long. But will only be to sell a bounce for now. I'll look for another move down and re-evaluate price action when we near a potential cycle low. Bearish Plan: I don't want to see continued acceleration. Moving down too fast causes a lot of psychological damage and fear. I'm already concerned about the volatility. If we show no signs of support near $9k then I'm just going to hold. I guarantee the volatility has led to a lot of losses. Its a sign of too much leverage. Bears now have control and its a sign that traders control the market not investors. This isn't going to help us get buyers. Red line: I really prefer not to see the red line broken in coming weeks. That would be a bit too much. There's some support down here so a wick wouldn't bother me. daily closes under this point would be a big concern.
