Short bitcoin - DOGE mania relatedBinance uses cross margin, and once DOGE dumps, traders who are long bitcoin will be force liquidated.
Here we can see VFAP showing that price is on the upper band, traditionally where price will reverse downward.
Contingency: If it does not go down, it will explode upward and retrace, but may take hours before returning under the gray horizontal box.

Safer to long under $9910 and short over $10050For my own limits, 9900-10000 is a no trade zone because I have no directional bias to rely on in this area. I view under or right at the bottom of $9900 as a reliable support level and $10050 as resistance.
Alternatively, 9947~ can be a area to scale in long as it is the 0.618 retrace point of the dump (10085-9730).
$10000 is a psychological resistance and an area of liquidity that can be retested if the $9900 range is cleared. The blue boxes designate where I will scale in/out of position.
It would be ideal to short anywhere above $9900 if you're bearish because of $10000 being a psychological level lost. If bitcoin doesn't recover, price will start to chop under for at least a few days (or years, who knows).
I am currently bullish on the price of bitcoin for the end of this daily to close above $10000 but am expecting unexpected volatility.
The fib retracement on the chart is from the 1 minute chart.
Bitcoin back up over 7200 for now
Undetermined resistance. Possibly 7350 or 7402. Beyond that, I am hoping for a move towards higher 7k levels. Deribit options were nice because I was able to get out in profit on both my terrible calls and puts while I was asleep. I closed my short and flipped long on futures at 7200, hedging with a 6500 put Dec. 27 expiry.
Quick change to idea while writing this: if it fails to break past 7250 repeatedly it can bounce between 7100-7250 or dip into 7000
Moving forward I am considering:
- Place low priced orders for more puts as price rises (not on the weeklies)
- Hedge short at each possible resistance level and put tight stops on them
- Reduce long (but bitcoin only up so I probably won't do this)
- Hedging at 7250 because it's a round number
I use COINBASE:BTCUSD as the ticker to view because volume on Deribit is currently too low to create 'proper' price action and volume analysis. Note: if you trade on BitMex, never buy their Ups/Downs. Flood on Twitter has done a whole analysis on why it's a terrible idea.

Murad Mahmudov, TheCryptoDog, and AltcoinPsycho have good content on trading mentality/sentiment analysis. And the others I have forgot (sorry lol).Check my following list or something twitter.com
Note: It'd be ideal to get Deribit's funding ticker or index ticker on TradingView, too. Ideally ideal.
