BTC Ranging and my plan of actions (long and short ready)

BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin

Keeping this chart and idea pretty simple as those are always the best plans in my opinion. I have been observing the current BTC range which I have shown by purple lines. I am personally not interested in trading within this range, although there are plenty of trades to take, I am choosing to opt out and let this range run its course especially with a lot of major news releases upcoming. My strategy is simply to wait for buyer or seller strength to overcome the other, meaning a strong candle close outside of the range.

When that range is broken (long or short) it will be important to have some altcoins prepared to trade so they should be prepared beforehand. I'll show an example of what I am watching for altcoin trades using this example of YFII-USDT:


This is a chart with a strong and obvious resistance overhead. My strategy here is if BTC breaks it's range higher, then I will go through my flagged charts such as YFII and see if they have also just broken that resistance and use that to time the trades. It's important to have setups prepared for longs and shorts so that we are prepared for BTC to break the range either way.

The only additional note I will make for the BTC range, is that it will be critical to pay attention to the breaks of any support and resistance I have drawn. Particularly regarding liquidity traps, essentially false breakouts. So if BTC makes a break outside of the range and then comes back into the range after a clear breakout it will be crucial to be able to flip your trading bias and recognize this as a fakeout.
