Yesterday’s analysis/position: Closed long at $7575 and opened shorts from $7,348 - $7,397 due to the resistance cluster from the triangle, the 128 day MA, the Ichimoku Cloud, the Bollinger Bands, established horizontal resistance and a perfected sell setup on the TD' Sequential. Price being +14%, and longs paying shorts on Bitmex provided great confirmation. Patterns: Retesting bottom of triangle. Horizontal support and resistance: R: $7,600 S: $7,300 BTCUSDSHORTS: Continue to pull back as the price consolidates. Once shorts pick back up then price is expected to pull back.

Summary: Feeling very good about my short position and am considering adding to it today. Reversal candles at resistance cluster is a very good sign for the bears. Stop loss is set at $7,816 and there are two profit targets. If you like batting for average then $6,200 is the target. If you like hitting for power then I am projecting a $4,250 bottom on or around 8/30/18.
