Bitcoin Price Watch; Volatility Returns?
Here’s what we are looking at on today’s fifteen minute charts, with an outline of the positions we are targeting if we get any volatility. It’s been a bit of an odd start to the week for the bitcoin price and our intraday strategy. Things seem very subdued, and we haven’t really had any major volatility – a couple of false breakouts aside – on which to get into the market. Sideways action between a pretty tight, four or five dollar range has dominated proceedings, and we’ve been forced to resort to scalp opportunities for our profits. In yesterday afternoon’s analysis, we highlighted....

Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this evening. Another day done in our bitcoin price trading operations, and it’s been a pretty interesting one. This morning we noted that we hadn’t seen too much volatility early week, and that in the absence of this volatility, getting in and out of the markets has been a little tough. We also noted, however, that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a bit frustrating (things are far more exciting when we’re chasing a profit target) but it means we aren’t looking at any losses, and pretty much every time we run through a....
A little earlier on this morning, we published our twice daily bitcoin price watch piece. In the piece we outlined the levels we were looking to watch in the bitcoin market throughout Friday's session, and stated that - if we got the volatility we were looking for - we would look to enter according to our breakout strategy in an attempt to draw a short term scalp profit on the action. Action has now matured throughout the day, and we are heading into the close of the European session and the beginning of the weekend. In the majority of other financial assets, markets would be pitching to....
At the end of last week, we published our twice-daily bitcoin price watch piece. In the piece, we highlighted a few of the key levels that we would be keeping an eye on in the bitcoin price over the weekend, and suggested how we would respond to price breaking or reaching these levels as far as entering on our intraday scalp strategy was concerned. Now action has matured over the weekend and we have seen quite a lot of volatility so, with this said, what are we watching today, and how might we draw profit from the market throughout the European session? Take a quick look at the chart. As....
Here's what we are focusing on this morning in the bitcoin price. In last night’s bitcoin price watch analysis piece, we highlighted a range that was quite a lot wider than those we have looked at across the last few weeks. This was in response to the volatility we saw over the weekend, and the opportunity this afforded us for an intra-range approach, rather than just our standard breakout strategy. Overnight, action didn’t mimic the volatility that we saw on Sunday, and pretty much just trended within the range we had predefined. Admittedly, it was a wide range, so it was optimistic to....
