BTC: Break Coming! Up to 20% Profit Potential [FOR TRADERS]

Short
COINBASE:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Not much has changed since Sunday crypto friends, other than that we had a clear Fake-out, both on the 4H and Daily chart.

I got personally faked out with ETH - even though that didn't fake out technically, I just played the correlation of BTC breaking higher: So I had to close my position. Fake-outs are very normal in Breakout Trading, and are not as bad as they seem. In many cases the Fake-out will lead to much higher levels, so you will still be in plus or break-even, even if it doesn't see follow-through. In the worst-case you can still close your position at loss around 1-2% of the breakout, because in many cases we will continue on in the consolidation, or even reverse, since the buyers in this case will be trapped and have to close their position by the opposite order.

Conclusio: This fake-out has brought us to another 2 days of consolidation, which brings the break out closer and closer. In the case of a bear break (which is always more likely in a Descending Triangle) we have the potential to reach the previous S&R zone of 8-9k, giving solid 20% profit potential. In the case of a bull break, we will have first of all $11k in front of us.

The bear break will also mean follow-through of the Double Top on the Weekly in that case:
