Short-btc

First Real Elliot Wave AnalysisIf my H&S formation plays out, COINBASE:BTCUSD may be at the top of a wave failure denoted by X and heading down to Z @ around $7600. $7600 should hold, unless FUD takes over, in which case we may see the high to mid $6000 range again (one last time). 04/20 should be close to the last day of the bear market. 15 min RSI and MACD looking to downtrend ASAP. (No I don't know Elliot Wave theory in the slightest, right now I'm just painting a picture that seems reasonable to me and matching as close as I can.) Short: Bear Mid: Neutral Long: Bull

Bitcoin 3 hr thoughtsThe TD 9 only corrected on itself on the 4hr chart (9 candle went down) and I've noticed the 4hr TD count hasn't been very significant/helpful recently. I have found the 3 hour chart to be more helpful over the last few weeks when it comes to the TD sequential indicator so I want to share my thoughts here. We have been working on this symmetrical triangle and the price could go either way in my opinion. I do have a target of $1500 to either side though with a possible rebound at 5k-5100 to the downside and an upside target of $8600. At the very least I expect a 1-4 candle pull back soon when a 9 shows up in 2 candles time (3 to 12hrs downside). If Bitcoin shows strength and rallies up to 7150/7200 with no significant pull back, I will jump back in on the long trade with a stop loss around 6800. Reasons for long : I honestly don't have a lot for the short term and you'll see why in my 'reasons for short'. * The 50 week moving average seems to be holding up the price well *Bitcoin is getting close to being unprofitable to mine and I would speculate that some of the huge companies now involved would try to pump up the price if it became unprofitable. Bitmain declared more profit than Nvidia last financial year so I'm fairly confident there is enough money out there to keep it profitable to mine and I will start buying like a mad man around 5k. Reasons for short: *We have been trading under the 200day ma for an extended period. The last time this happened we had a 15 month bear market. * We had a death cross recently (50 day dipped below the 200 day ma) * We have had too many opportunities to buy within 10% of the swing low (6500-6600 range) and Bitcoin usually doesn't give you this much time to buy that close to the bottom. * I have seen some massive shorts over the last week in the order books which makes me suspicious that the Mt Gox trustee is back to selling (up to 5k bitcoin at a time). * At 5k Bitcoin is still up %500 in a 12month period so it is more possible than people realize. * If the 50 week moving average is broken, the last time this happened there was a about 12 months of trading below it... Not a good sign.. I'm short right now but long term I'm still bullish for BTC so I'm ready to move with the market and change my position as needed.

Ascending wedge in BTC, possible bearish scenario before takeoffBonjour à tous, Ascending wedge pattern spotted in Bitcoin! Here I drew two possible bearish scenarios, as I am not convinced that BTC will pick up momentum from this level, yet. Scenario 1 - the yellow line - can take us when breaking out of the wedge to the 6000 USD level, where there was previous support. Possibly, prices could go up from here. Should prices consolidate here, an even lower low can be found. Scenario 2 - the green line - if we were to break the 6000 level, we could proceed to the bearish flag pole target around 4800 - 5000 USD. Around the 5000 is a previous resistance found from late August 2017. This level is also roughly our .786 Fibonacci retracement from the ATH. Should we manage to reach that level, I expect high volume buying orders from the big stacks of money awaiting to get BTC for cheap! Cha-ching Me, I'm such an amateur trader, so don't take this as trading advice whatsoever! Good luck! Maurits

BTC looking like the streets of Sydney sans Mardi GraGood Morning, My last analysis of Bitcoin still stands and while the Mt Gox coins are still being sold off and the FUD of it lingers we have a real chance of dropping to this previously unimaginable levels. Every time we have a sell of we retrace into either another bearflag or rising wedge and breakdown, the big the flag/wedge the further we drop. Trading ideas with this one would be short term longs while wedges build but caution must be advised but until these Mt Gox coins are sold , I guess the real game here is Shorts. I would stay far away from alts completely, as they will just keep crashing and panic selling will occur. If you dont short, then and fiat is not your play, then best idea would be USDTether or you could short on bitmex 1x which equates to tether without actually holding any. Take a look at the linked charts to see how things have progressed and how and why I called it. Good luck and be careful, happy hunting.

THE REAL BITCOIN PATH IS HERE - DON'T MISS OUTHello! I saw a lot of charts charted, i'm just gonna stick to the old Eliot fashion wave style and proove you that bitcoin is going up and only up from now, no 9k,8k dips and shit. It finally reached and completed the final E wave of the ABCDE wave correction and it made first new Eliot wave, currently looking to pullback and test the fib levels to complete the 2nd wave, after that the big 3rd wave may blow us away back to the 13k zones. Bitcoin is going up only from now, easy trade position from here 2.5 risk/reward ratio, if it confirms my path. And this is only short-term trade. For the long term we will open a position, once it confirms my path Buy-in zone : Everything between - 10 800 - 11 400 area Stop Loss: - 10 391 Target 1: - 12 508 fib lines take half leave half Target 2: - 14 334 - correciton will happen after 5th wave is finished - take other half, re-buy on the dip Trade open a : 11300

Possible Short @ $5800UPDATE: Here's a trade opportunity that is a piggy bag of my larger short... BTC is in correction mode and has made almost a 100% retracement since the drop from $6000 while bouncing on the Fibs along the way. I already shorted @ $5911 but since there may be more downside remaining (if a trend reversal is confirmed) there may be more entry points (with tight SL) as we head lower. $5780 looks like a possible Entry as BTC is meeting resistance at $5800. This is an opportunity to short as it heads down to support/the next Fib level... Trading Signal for BTC: ENTRY: 5780 - 5775 TAKE PROFIT: tp1: 56200 tp2: 5550 STOP LOSS: 5850 LENGTH: 2 days +
