Bitcoin Price Watch; Pattern Suggests Volatility
Here's what we are looking at for today's morning session out of Europe in the bitcoin price. We’ve seen some pretty solid patterns this week in the bitcoin price. The weekend action offered up a nice sharp movement – one that we managed to take advantage of and draw a quick profit from the market. We then noted that – as a hypothesis based on the consolidation we saw post-break – we could be in for another sharp move when markets finally picked up a directional bias. Again, we got this move during yesterday’s session, with a sharp downside break offering us another opportunity to pick up....

Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this morning. So this morning we are going to go for something a little different. Over the last couple of weeks we have primarily been focusing on horizontal range bound trading, with a few breakout entries whenever we saw some volatility. This has been a decent strategy, and one that we are going to maintain going forward, but a classical pattern (well, sort of) has formed overnight, so we are going to shuffle things around a little and attempt to trade the pattern before we return to our standard approach. The pattern in....
Here's what we are focusing on in today's bitcoin price watch, for the morning session on Wednesday. Sometimes it can be difficult to transfer what would be a traditional charting pattern in another, more commonly traded financial asset, to the bitcoin space. The ebbs and flows on the narrower timeframes are a lot more volatile based on the thin (relative) liquidity, and this creates all sorts of issues as far as target placement, completion and risk management is concerned. This doesn’t mean, however, it’s an impossible task. We’ve successfully brought both the head and shoulders pattern....
The current Bitcoin volatility Index values suggest that a short squeeze may be near, if past pattern continues to hold. Past Bitcoin Volatility Index Pattern Suggests A Short Squeeze May Happen Here As explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC volatility index has now reached values where a short squeeze has happened in the past. The “volatility index” is an indicator that shows how much the price of Bitcoin has fluctuated in a day compared to its historical average. When the value of this metric rises, it means the crypto’s price has recently seen higher....
Towards the end of last week, we published an article that outlined the intraday action in the bitcoin price, and suggested that we may see some bullish momentum as we headed into the weekend. Action throughout Saturday and Sunday has validated this suggestion, and the bullish run early Monday morning (GMT) has culminated in a classical technical charting pattern that - once again - hints at further upside. This said, what are the levels to watch as we head into the European open? Let's take a look. The aforementioned bullish run topped out just shy of 280 flat, before correcting about....
Here's what we're looking at in the bitcoin price today. In yesterday’s bitcoin price analysis, we focused on a head and shoulders pattern (inverse) that was forming on the intraday charts. The pattern suggested that – on completion via the breaking of the neckline – the pattern would give us a target of about $10 north of entry. We did get the break, and entered long as per our strategy. Post-entry, the bitcoin price gained strength, and we ran up towards our target. Unfortunately, before our target struck, price reversed and we ran back down through the entry level to take out our stop....
