Longing the trap

Do or die moment for Bitcoin. Personally i'm playing my cards by opening a "scattered" Long trade.
Part from here, part from close to the 27.700$ mark, just in case of a bear trap.

Mind the fact this is a highly risky contrarian trade and it may fail, but 1:2 R:R is interesting enough to try playing it.

DYOD.



Comment:
At intraday resistance.

Comment:
Bulls should try to achieve a breakout in order to let price breath.
Otherwise a slump is likely.

Get ready.
Comment:
Weak, but still quite far from the 27.700$ mark.
Looking at volume, which is still low.

Anyway, at least Hash Ribbons fall starts showing some dent.

Comment:
Bouncing, but 31550$ +on volume needed in order to seal the trap.


Let's see.
Comment:
Failing that it may be just a pullback to support.

Meanwhile, hash ribbons:

Let's zoom out and see what happens on 1D:


Price is facing the key resistance area: previous wedge support + MA50/W + midline of daily BB. Very, very tough area.

Let's wait and see.
Comment:
Volume or it won't happen ...
Comment:
Critical moment.
That's RSI/D:


Back at confluence of wedge support/resistance.
Again, bulls need volumeor will fail.

Let's see.
Comment:
Remember to have a take profit set.
Don't risk more than deserved, choppy ride expected.
Comment:
Closest support in 31.500-31.200$ area.

Watching this, it may turn into a inverted H&S:


Soon to say, but watch it.
Comment:
We have a pretty long TD strip, volume still average.

It's unclear whether this is a rising wedge or an ascending triangle, but it's more resembling the former.


Unless volume picks up substantially hence confirming an inverted H&S or ascending triangle and granting a brekout we may expect a pullback.

So remember to place a take profit, don't get caught off guard by events.
Comment:
Testing wedge support soon, watch it:

Comment:
The reason current area is tricky:


A breakout on volume is needed, or bears will take over again.
Bumpy weekend ahead, fasten your seatbelts.
Comment:
Fine, but still lacking volume.

Comment:
Usual look at has ribbons:


Seemingly about to round a bottom.
Comment:
RSI/D already over resistance.


GIve it more volume and it would fly.
Comment:
As you saw, it flew ;)
Volume was the key.

Target reached, resistance pierced.
Needs confirmation.

Currently on holiday, i'll update at a later date.

If you enjoyed the trip up from 30k hen comment and like, so that i know my time here is well spent.

Take care, hope you had some nice gain.
Comment:
Upcoming test of mm20/w is crucial. Watch weekly close.
We have a historical record of bull trap on pullbacks there.

So protect your gains and watch the outcome.
Comment:
Watch it

Comment:
Price eached that yellow target area pinpointed about 3 weeks ago.
Fine.

Moreover Two months ago i mentioned 42-44k area as first meaningful resistance:

Eager to see the outcome of the test as ma20/w is pretty close.
Comment:
Got up to 42.500$ before pulling back.
No surprise.


Target area reached, a few days early.
Now it's time for careful observation of the test of MM20/W, which may take a while.

Have your position protected.
Comment:
we'll have o better evaluate after a cooldown, meanwhile this is hash ribbons today:

Comment:
Pullback to FIB 0.618 achieved.

There's a possible bearish pennant forming, it would be important for bulls find a confirmation and bounce without completing a further pullback to previous resistance (now support). The latter option would imply a significative loss of momentum.

As you notice price is moving in a tight range within MA50/W and MA20/W.


A breakout of such range on volume will likely lead to the end of the sideways movement ongoing since may. Watch it.
Comment:
NIce breakout.

Challenging resistance soon.
Watch MA20/W above if it breaks.

Comment:
Hash ribbons:


Countdown to blue dot ?
Comment:
At MA20/W resistance, at last.
