Squeeze

Opportunity for BTC to show direction after BB SqueezeIt seems that right now we find ourselves in a BB Squeeze. This means that soon we will find out the direction of the next big move. People tend to be reserved right now and want to see confirmation of a move. I am going to exploit this using a good Risk Reward ratio and enter a long. The sell is located at the old stable price, forming a logical resistance level. The stop loss should be slightly under the weak support that has been formed given the few weeks that were stopped there.

HOW-TO GRID TRADE (Tutorial #1) Trade While You SleepHOW-TO GRID TRADE: HIGH PROFITS - LOW RISKS - TONS OF FUN. Trade While You Sleep Let’s be honest, trading is risky, especially trading crypto. We all know it’s just matter of figuring out if market prices are going up or going down, but isn’t it funny how the market seems determined to go in the exact opposite way you pick? Especially when you have money on the line! It’s great that markets trend 30% of the time, we attempt to catch the wave (up or down) and cash in when we’ve called it right. But the often overlooked reality is, markets go sideways, they consolidate, they squeeze, they get stuck in ranges over 70% of the time. Just when you thought you were catching a trend (to the moon!) , now you’re stuck waiting for the market to do something. It zigs a little, it zags a little, smaller moves, up, down, but nothing too exciting, right? If we only could get paid for watching charts wiggle in a range, not having to predict whether things are going up or down… THAT’S what would make you smile . Agreed? Especially if you could automate this “wiggle for profits” idea and reduce your risks to a bare minimum. THAT’S what this article is about. Grid Trading, or how to wiggle your way to high profits without losing your shirt. Let’s learn and have some fun! GRID TRADING STRATEGY Trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with an automated solution has become a very popular plan-of-action because it guarantees 24/7 trading activity. It reduces our addiction to chart watching and lets us eat, sleep and be merry. It allows you to exploit trading opportunities around the clock, manage your risks without emotions and follow a predefined trading pattern that often beats the ROI (Return on Investment) you're getting from other hands-on trading strategies. While all this is true, it was another factor that brought me to Grid Trading initially. It was the fact that even though I loved to get in the trenches and trade chart patterns, indicator signals and often unsubstantiated “hunches,” I found that the capital I was NOT actively trading was just sitting there, doing nothing. The bulk of my capital was sitting in USD, or USDT or BTC . Because I risk manage and rarely enter a trade with more than 5% of my total available money (per trade) , more often than not… 50% to 80% of my investment capital was NOT realizing any return at all. THE LIGHT GOES ON One day, after testing a little known, little used strategy of trading within a pre-established GRID range where every tick-up and every tick-down had the probability of making me money, the light switch within my head went on. Why not take my some of my “reserve” capital, place in a Grid, automate the process, and let it earn a little “side-money” while I continued my regular trading activities? As this “side-money” project took off. I started noticing that it would many times make more of a ROI than my regular trading. I’d look at my Grid results and often see 2%, 3%, 8% over a 2 or 3 day period - these were serious returns, with far less the risk. Annualized I was looking at gains of 300%, 500% even 1000%+ if I just focused on Grids. uh, HELLO! Truth be told, Grid Trading is not a panacea of all wins and no losses. It’s also essential to know that a grid trading strategy does not guarantee a stable income in all market conditions. If you want to successfully utilize a grid crypto trading strategy (like I can teach you) , you must understand the fundamentals of trading, the current market phase, how to find grid trade opportunities, how to set-up grids for maximum gains and how to manage the risks. HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS Grid Trading is no harder than what you’re already doing and in fact, the learning curve is far less challenging. Most people can have their first grid up and running within a day or two. You can do grid trading while you continue your other trading pursuits (as it requires little time or effort). If done right, your odds of making money are much better than almost any other trading strategy you explore. LET’S START WITH A CRAZY LOOKING TRADINGVIEW CHART GRID BOT EXAMPLE THE PATH TO PROFIT IS NOT A STRAIGHT ONE... You’re looking at (in the chart illustration) is a 23 HOUR period (15 min. chart) with a grid range of 5.48% (bottom to top) . Had you been lucky enough to have bought at the bottom and sold at the top (just a regular trade) , you have pocketed roughly 5.48% on a single trade. However, with an automated GRID trade strategy, every zig down BUYS and every zag up SELLS all in incremental and equal portions of your capital. So the more zigs and zags you have, the better! Just as an example, you can turn a 5% gain into 8% if the path zigs and zags along its way. Keep in mind that in this example, we are only trading LONG, yet we profit from the up and down price action as prices cross each grid line triggering a buy or a sell. Once any transaction is complete, the automation resets a new grid line to replace the previous one that was hit. And so it goes, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching! UP? DOWN? WHO CARES! Grid trading is a type of strategy generating earnings from the market movements in a specific price range. It loses its power in a strong trading market (for example when pump or dump happens. The grid trading technique explores to its benefit natural price volatility within a defined range. It does this by opening buy and sell orders regularly at fixed intervals above and below a market price. The advantage of grid trading is that it requires little forecasting of market direction (though you are best to seek out sideways or upward ranging market periods). In addition, it is easy to automate this strategy and run it continuously. The biggest drawback is if there’s a sudden price drop without retracement outside your pre-defined grid range. This drawback is best managed by adhering to good stoploss placement and smart observance of support structure and trend tendencies when setting your grid parameters in the beginning.

$IBGR ready for big move after small delay!$IBGR appeared poised to move towards 10 cents a few months back, however the company took a good step back and replaced some bad-eggs.. With 140M OS, Market Cap under $2MM and 1 App already announced for September release (Real Estate App - "Address"), it appears the trend has reversed and it's time to accumulate ahead of the move towards 10 cents. Per recent filings, the Reg-A (dilution) is canceled and the company appears to be funded for for the foreseeable future... Recent move had broken above the SMA200 and the chart appears to be targeting a breakout of the long term sideways channel. The Accumulation line is indicative of the shares being held more tightly than they were at .03, therefore we should see a quick move with any buying pressure. Not shown here, however the stock is currently trading within the ichimoku Kumo which is another bullish sign and one which should bring some volatility! Note that I am holding shares here and my target is above 10 cents!

Watching For Squeeze/Widen Breakout PatternBTC is building a triangle around $10k. It was avoiding it and now it looks like it's going to build a point of control on top of it. This will likely end up making a triangle pattern which squeezes down to a point then breaks out from the triangle. This will turn the squeeze pattern into a megaphone pattern which is difficult to trade but still has potential to yield high reward/risk. I am leaning toward it breaking out to the down side but feel like there's maybe a 1/3rd chance or so it will break to the up side. In either case I will be looking to enter on the retest of the $10k region after it has broken away and looks like it's not coming back. Basically I will be watching to trade the b to c point on either the red or green after it makes an 'a' type move out of the triangle. Making trades while it's still in this triangle is not such a great idea, there are other things to trade which are not stuck in consolidation. I will be posting some futures charts next which show where I am focusing my attention while BTC makes up its mind. Gold is one market that has a lot going on it it right now.

Lesson about symetric triangle Here is an example of a symetric triangle pattern played out on the 4hr XRP/USD chart. Im starting to see these triangle patterns more and more whether it be considered a pennant or whatever. The results are similar regardless of what you call it. Price gets squeezed towards the end of the formation and at a certain point it shoots up or down. The tricky part is predicting which way it will go. But with the triangle at least you could have predicted when the price action will occur. I am still learning a lot myself but I am trying to document my journey from scrub to master of the charts.

alright not gonna lie i f'ed up hard shorted bitcoin too early!!I will problably at this point be forced to be short squeezed I do see bitcoin at $300,000 in the long term and I just have to make 100% sure I don't miss this run... I was going to buy back in at 4500 when I sold at 5300 range.... however I didn't get it I thought at the most it would push up to 5700-6500 and that would be the top before a correction because major 6k resistance was so close and I didn't think it would just go straight through it like it was nothing.... but it did and now I am very very butthurt obviously I will not buy back in at these prices youd have to be a complete retard to buy in right after a 200% pump in literally 8 weeks.... but... I will problably be forced to buy back into this correction closer to $6,000 and get short squeezed pretty badly..... from 5300.... I do believe this will correct to 4500 but I can no longer BET ON IT ANYMORE I MUST MAKE SURE I OBTAIN THEM AND NOT GET LEFT BEHIND AND THE ODDS ARENT HIGH ENOUGH FOR A DROP TO 4500 ANYMORE!!!!!! I DO STILL BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN BUT I CANNOT BET ON IT AT THIS POINT ITS JUST TOOO HARD OF A DUMP TO BET ON HOWEVER IF IT DOES I WILL PROBLABLY TAKE OUT A LOAN FROM THE BANK OR SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR GETTING SHORT SQUEEZED BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME THAT JUST ABSOLUTELY CANNOT LET THESE BITCOINS GO!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT LOOSE THEM I MUST GET THEM BACK SOMEHOW SOMEWAY I MUST IF I HAVE TO TAKE OUT A LOAN I WILL DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bitmex Funding Rate IndicatorDisclaimer: If you are primarily interested in copying other people’s trades then this is not for you. However, if you are willing to put in the work that it takes to learn how to trade for yourself then you have found the right place! Nevertheless please be advised that you can give 10 people a profitable trading strategy and only 1-2 of them will be able to succeed long term. If you fall into the majority that tries and fails then I assume no responsibility for your losses. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business. Click here for my Comprehensive Trading Strategy | Click here for my Comprehensive Trading Process | Click here to learn about the 2 BTC' to 20 BTC' Trading Challenge I consistently track the funding rates on Bitmex as a way to understand if one side of the trade is too crowed. This can be a very powerful indicator for identifying squeezes, both long and short, before they happen. This is currently the most important indicator for me in regards to the Bitcoin Price Action. Almost every metric shows this market as being overbought over the last couple weeks while it has tested the major area of resistance at $5,800 - $6,500. The majority of people did not expect this rally to get past $6,000 before a significant correction and I was certainly one of them. This is exactly the type of environment when one side of the trade will get too crowded and that appears to be what happened over the past week. The indicator that I'm using can be found under "Bitmex Funding Bars" and it is a great way to illustrate how powerful this tool can be. I drew two horizontal lines which indicate buy and sell signals. The sell signal occurs when longs pays shorts 0.07%+. The sell signal occurs when shorts pay longs 0.08%+. These rates must persist for a week before the signal triggers. The vertical lines represent hypothetical buys / sells based on this indicator. As you can tell it has been a great way to forecast upcoming price movement throughout this bear market. A good confirmation for this indicator is the futures curve. Backwardation occurs when spot is more expensive that the futures and this confirms a buy. If there is Backwardation while getting a sell signal then the entry is not confirmed. The confirmation was not applied to the hypothetical buys / sells in this chart but it is something to consider. This post has been marked as Neutral despite getting a confirmed buy signal. That is because I simply cannot stomach buying after a prolonged markup in the price. I strongly prefer to let the market come to me and therefore am waiting to see what happens when we eventually do correct, even if that means paying a higher price. Nevertheless I thought that this is a great indicator that is very important right now. I have been expecting a correction for weeks, but now I see that there is plenty of gas left in the tank for another leg up, despite being overbought at a major level of resistance.

Bitcoin Back Up To 5400 And Then DownI believe Bitcoin has topped from this move, you can clearly see we have reversed of the daily 9 (as pointed out by Tone Vays, through who I discovered this indicator from), and the RSI has given us clear divergence. My only reservation from going Short right now is the spread between Long's and Short's (bottom Indicator, red line = Short's green line = Long's). I would like to see Short's come down significantly before we make a move down, and the only way that will happen is if we see some kind of a squeeze to wipe out the leveraged Short's. I'm thinking this move will take us to around 5400 and could take several days to materialise. It's possible we go higher, but I am very doubtful we can surpass 6k which is significant resistance zones from multiple points such as the 50 week MA, and the massive base of support formed in 2018. So how I plan on trading this is to set sell orders at 5400, and add to it if we proceed upwards from there. If we don't quite make it to 5400, then I will wait until I see an opportunity for entering a position a bit lower. Of course we could drop from here without a squeeze, but it doesn't feel like Bitcoin's ready to do this so obviously.
