Bitcoin Price Watch; Range Replication – A Straightforward Approach
This afternoon’s analysis is going to be pretty straightforward. If you were with us a little earlier on this morning, and caught the first of our twice daily bitcoin price watch pieces, you’ll have seen our interpretation of last night’s action. Basically, and to quickly recap, we noted that the bitcoin price had reached its highest level in a while overnight, and as we edge up upon the 450 flat mark, we may see some consolidation, both as speculators take profits and as the psychologically significant levels weighs on bullish sentiment. Action has now matured throughout the morning....

Unlike last week, when we tried to incorporate a range of technical charting patterns into our bitcoin price trading strategy, this week’s strategy has been pretty straightforward. When we see s sustained directional bias (in this case, to the upside) it’s often just a matter of stepping up the key levels with each new formation swing high, and rerunning the same approach – similar distance targets, tights stops, nothing too aggressive. In yesterday’s analysis we set up against a potential upside break, and overnight we got the break – not without a brief downside correction, however, but....
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....
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....
Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this morning. We’ve come to the end of the week, and it’s been a pretty boring one from an intraday perspective. The bitcoin price doesn’t seem to want to breakout of a circa ten to twenty-dollar range, and this has proven difficult to navigate using our relatively tight intraday range on the five and the fifteen minute charts. Last night we suggested we could go at things with an intrarange approach to try and diversify away from just using our breakout scalp approach, but it didn’t make too much difference. During the Asian....
The European session is drawing to a close, and it’s heading into lunch time in the US. As usual, this means it’s time for the second of our twice daily bitcoin price watch analysis pieces, so here goes. First, we will have a quick look at what action threw out today, and then we can interpret this action and use it to try and figure out how we can approach this evening’s trading. So, to kick things off, take a quick look at the chart below. It represents action seen during the last 24 or so hours. As the chart shows, volume this morning was pretty low, and price action has remained well....
