Market Watch by Fyookball: Price Is in a Tight Channel
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 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....
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. As far as rough days in the market go, this has been one of the worst. We noted in this morning’s bitcoin price watch piece that the action we’ve seen over the last few days in the market had been a bit difficult to trade. Sideways action dominated, and the only real movement we saw were spikes in and out of the ranges we defined. We have managed to pull a couple of profitable trades out of this sort of action, but only by keeping our targets extremely tight and maintaining some even tighter risk management....
Here's a look at what we are focusing on in the bitcoin price this evening. In this morning’s bitcoin price watch analysis, our primary intent was to get across the importance of keeping things tight during the European session. Price has struggled to make any sort of sustained moves over the last few days, and while we have seen the odd spike, there has been no real trend momentum. The only way we are able to draw a profit from these sorts of market conditions is through a tight scalp strategy – that is, jumping in and out of the markets on the spikes and taking advantage of the action as....
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....
