#BTCUSD - bearish outlook

Short
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Mid term / swing traders look for retracements. When everyone is mid-term bullish - it's probably a good signal to short, or at least to get out of the asset, especially after last weekly candle exposing weakening bullish sentiment.

The pitch-fork works usually until it doesn't. More crucial in this chart is rather the 200 weekly moving average, which presents statistically best long/asset entry according to value in relation to the last two hundred weeks of price action. If you're here for the money with long term trading outlook, it doesn't really matter how high will asset go, but rather where is the perfect entry from risk management perspective. When price is at top or near ATH (all time high) the financial trading risk is at it's peak. Everyone knows that without saying, nearly everyone ignores it without any logical explanation.
Technical indicators work on historical data... which not always can bring positive trading outcome.
From long term perspective it is irrelevant to disagree with fundamental properties of this asset, broadening understanding of technology explosively affects demand. The bigger the new crowd however, the more unpredictable is panic selling and so is the father of all bubbles - the FEAR OF MISSING OUT.

Be careful, be mindful, be successful by being patient.

Good luck trading,
Adam.
