Bitcoin Price Watch - Keep Stops Tight!

Here's what we are looking to trade in the bitcoin price as we head into the weekend. Stops, targets and entries included. In this morning’s bitcoin price watch article, we noted that the range we were focusing on in the bitcoin price was probably a little too tight to bring an intrarange strategy into the equation, but for an aggressive trader, it would probably be possible to draw a profit under some strict risk management parameters. We also discussed some breakout entries, and outlined a few key levels that we would look to take a position at if, and when, the bitcoin price closed....

Here's what we are looking to trade on any volatility in the bitcoin price on an intraday basis this evening. In this morning’s bitcoin price watch piece, we looked at the action we had seen overnight in the bitcoin price, and suggested that we might be looking at a sustained move for today’s session. The range we outlined was pretty tight, though concurrently wide enough for us to bring both our intrarange and breakout strategies to the table. Action throughout this morning was pretty tight, until we spiked just now, and this has redefined tonight’s parameters. Take a look at the chart....

BTC is often a good macro indicator for the entire crypto market, so this is a good place to start. Bitcoin (BTC) has recently surpassed its all-time high price just shy of $20,000, so it’s a unique time to zoom out and look at the weekly chart for the past several years. The last several weeks have been a rocket ride, and we’re now bumping up against the technical resistance level of $20,000. Amidst the bullish sentiment fueled by corporate investors such as MicroStrategy, this could appear as resistance that will soon break. The leg up from $11,000 was particularly strong,....

Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this morning. Overnight action in the bitcoin price was a little strange. Before the European session shutdown for the evening last night, we published the second of our twice-daily bitcoin price watch pieces, and in the piece, we highlighted what we thought was a relatively tight range as being one to watch from a breakout perspective. Because the range was so tight, we decided not to go at price with an intrarange approach, and – early evening – this seemed to be a solid strategy. We didn’t manage to get into any trades, but....

It’s been a tough first half of the week this week, and last night’s action continued this trend. First we fell foul to a misplaced target on a head and shoulders short (which we talked about in yesterday’s analysis) and then we got chopped out of a short term scalp for a few dollar loss. Yesterday, in light of the recent action, we tightened up our parameters and looked at bring a single breakout approach into play. Tight targets and tight stops meant we didn’t have too much exposure on our entries, but this doesn’t make returning money to the market any easier, and return money to the....
