BAND dip entry swing trade opportunity?I know it doesnt seem like much of a dip but in the ascending channel it has assumed, it is a dip to bottom of channel. I have been posting a bunch of momentum trade targets where a resisting trendline is broken and assets break out once they finally break through, but a lot of those can leave you wondering where to exit, best if you can handle it with a trailing stop loss if you have it available to you.
Buying the dip tends to be safer and you have a clear definition of when to accept loss and bail and where about's to exit. I prefer ascending trendlines, I dont like to swing trade a descending trendline though in some market conditions thats all we have, but right now this is a bull market so there are plenty of options.
So here with BAND you see 3 components to my entry
#1 A strong identifiable ascending trendline
#2 We are testing support
#3 We break out of the short term descending resistance that pushed us down to test support, indicating we are switching directions from descent to ascent.
Then where to exit, the easiest way to see where resistance is, copy your Tradingview line and paste it, then move it up, you will find top of channel by moving the line (without changing angle, just moving up or down) to the top of the tallest candle above the trendline. You can also usually find a mid-channel line which will present resistance and support along the way.
This chart infers if we enter here, we might can exit at around $2.70, depending on when we get to top of channel. Of course this hasnt triggered yet, it could break that longer supporting trendline and then it would be bearish and not ideal to trade.
I have numerous assets I am watching that are in this state now, i am currently using 3 commas to monitor the trendline I have #3 pointing to on this (and similar on other assets), if it breaks through, I will pick up the position automatically. I can use an exit signal also via the top trendline though atm I am trying with a loose trailing stop loss.
Orderbooks dont look exciting on BAND atm and volume isnt exciting either, but I think its hard to use those when trying to "buy a bottom", you are trying to buy it in its worst condition as of recently.
Anyway another opp to bring to your attention, another tool you might can use in your toolbelt and of course as usually, DYOR, this write up should not be something you use as the deciding factor to trade an asset. Also as always, sentiment can change any time a trendline is broken so watch the lines and be ready to adapt.
