Bitcoin Price Watch; Maintaining A Scalp Approach

A scalp pattern has presented itself in the bitcoin price, here's how we are looking to trade it. For this evening’s analysis, we’re going to go at our bitcoin price strategy a little different than normal. A look at the cart below reveals the formation of an upward sloping triangle during the European session, and this has offered up an opportunity to scalp the markets. We can still define a range for the longer term breakout approach, but a few dollar scalp is always a nice quick turnaround position, so as we head into the close of the European session and move into the US afternoon,....

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....

Here is our slightly altered (but hopefully just as effective) bitcoin price watch intraday strategy for Friday's European session. Those who have followed along with our bitcoin price watch pieces over the last few weeks will have noticed a common thread running through our strategy. We’ve been defining relatively tight ranges and skipping in and out of the markets with these ranges on breakout scalp trades. It’s been somewhat effective but there have been some pretty frustrating periods through which we’ve had to sit and stay net flat in the markets. Well, to mix things up a little....

Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this evening. This morning, we noted that in response to the pretty flat action seen in the bitcoin price over the last few days (which in turn is a response to the low volume based around US Independence Day), we’d tighten things up and go after a five-minute analysis, rather than our standard fifteen minutes. This didn’t really change our approach, the levels were pretty similar to those in focus for the week so far, but it did allow us to go at price with a slightly narrower focus. Why is this a good thing? Because it means....

Here's what we are looking at trading in the markets this evening, alongside a look at our latest bitcoin price live trade. The Wednesday session is drawing to a close in Europe, and it’s time to take our second look at what the markets presented today, and in turn, use this action to put forward a potential trading strategy as we head into the US afternoon, and beyond that, into the Asian session this evening. In this morning’s bitcoin price analysis, the primary focus was a very tight range, which we said we would use to scalp the bitcoin price, on any breakout action. The range was only....
