Short Entry

Recently bitcoin has been fighting in a pretty tight range at the top of this run, however it looks like it may have broke to the downside with some confirmation.
  • 35 Daily EMA has been broken, which has been supporting on the whole move up.
  • Double top pattern has been printed/broken.
  • RSI has fell below the 50 range, which generally steers towards some bearish momentum.
This is generally what you want to be looking for supplementing a bearish pattern/EMA break- different forms of confirmation.

With so many tools pointing to bearish, a short position could be profitable. However no trade is 100% certain, risk management comes into play and we pick a suitable target and a suitable stoploss incase there is a fakeout so we can minimise loss. I generally think the basis about most good algorithms in trading is minimising loss- the same goes for trading by hand. If you can prevent high drawdown over consecutive losing trades it will always be easier to recover and then make more money across a good run of trades hitting.
